Jaguar Land Rover: Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), owned by India’s Tata Motors, is looking to hire tech industry workers laid off by tech giants like Meta, Twitter, Amazon and others across the world. The 100-year-old luxury carmaker will hire hundreds of laid off engineers to help develop electric car technology.

The carmaker aims to fill 800 positions in segments of self-driving, electrification, machine learning and data science. The company wants to become an “electric-first” business from 2025. On Friday JLR announced a jobs portal for displaced tech workers.
Laid off workers have the skill
The company believes that workers that have been laid off by big tech groups like Amazon and others were most likely to have the required skills to fill new roles in Britain, Ireland, the United States, India, China and Hungary.
The majority of the jobs will be in Britain.

The hiring drive comes in the wake of thousands of layoffs in recent weeks at U.S. tech firms including Twitter, Meta and Amazon. Some of these companies have offices in London and Dublin, Ireland.
Digital transformation journey
“Our digital transformation journey is well underway but being able to recruit highly skilled digital workers is an important next step,” Chief Information Officer Anthony Battle said in a statement.
Last year JLR had announced an electrification strategy under which all Jaguar cars would be fully electric by 2024 and an electric option would be offered across its entire portfolio including Land Rover.
JLR is owned by India’s Tata Motors.
