Salesforce is cutting more than 1000 jobs as it simultaneously hires workers to sell new artificial intelligence products, Bloomberg News reported earlier this week.
Displaced workers will be able to apply for other jobs internally, the Bloomberg report said, citing a person familiar with the matter.
The report also added that it couldn't be determined which divisions the reductions were focused on.
Salesforce did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The customer relationship management software maker had 72,682 employees as of Jan. 31, 2024, it said in its annual report.
In December last year, chief executive Marc Benioff said that Salesforce has closed more than 1000 paid deals for "Agentforce," its platform for creating AI-powered virtual representatives.
The Wall Street Journal reported in January 2024 that Salesforce was laying off about 700 employees.
Bloomberg News also reported later in July 2024 that the company cut about 300 more jobs.
