Elon Musk is looking to rehire Twitter workers who can help with video and the Twitter Blue subscription service after laying off thousands last week
Twitter is seeking workers in a few specific areas, according to current and former employees. All of the people Insider spoke with asked to remain anonymous talking about internal company matters.
Twitter is focusing, in part, on re-recruiting employees in media engineering, such as video uploading features, although workers have been told they can effectively"nominate" anyone they think should return, two people familiar said, confirming messages seen by Insider. Engineers to work on Apple and Google's Android integrations are also being asked back, the people said.
Media engineering is a core organization at Twitter, and Musk had previously tweeted about wanting longer videos to be uploaded to Twitter. Twitter is also looking to rehire the real-time media infrastructure team, which deals with live video and Twitter Spaces, and the team for knowledge graph integration tags, which tags Twitter content internally, including content that should not appear next to advertising.
Even if laid off employees agree to return, Musk still isn't making it easy, according to additional messages seen by Insider. For someone to return to Twitter, a current employee must confirm that person is interested and"argue why they are critical and convince your new lead." If that gets approved, then the formerly laid-off person would have access to their work computer and tools restored. Thousands of Twitter employees found out they had been let go by Musk on Thursday night when they lost access to their work tools. Are you a Twitter employee or someone else with insight to share?
