I have no idea what "customer employer branding" and "customer awareness needs" are. I don't understand how this is a "realignment" of the talent business -- it seems like it's an abandonment of it.
> how can we leverage our unique position to solve real, meaningful problems for our users and customers?... the talent acquisition space is not one where we have a strong competitive advantage
A significant portion of the world's developers are visiting your site every time they're looking for answers to technical problems that may come up daily and that's not a competitive advantage?
Every time I've gone on the job market in the last decade+, I've looked at jobs on stack overflow. Nowhere else has delivered me more interviews with places that I'd plausibly want to work.
This has to be some weird fallout from last year's sale, right?
