ATFX, LMAX Group, OpenAI and Other Four Companies Are Hiring Now

Global firms continue slashing headcount in consideration of the anticipated continual slower growth, high interest rates and fears of a possible recession next year.  

Barclays is currently reviewing proposals to bolster its profitability, among which could be downsizing that may affect 2000 jobs, mainly in the British bank's back office. Another banking giant Citi unveils its further layoff plan to cut management layers from 13 to 8 as part of its biggest overhaul in decades.

In the fintech sector, US credit fintech Petal has put itself up for sale amid Walls Street concerns about its ability to keep afloat. Besides, the digital banking platform HMBradley is closing its consumer business and will instead try to sell its technology to banks. Software company C3.ai has conducted layoff across departments.

Given the state of the broader economy, the current employment environment is far from ideal.
