A number of data center operators have highlighted open roles following Meta's decision to cut thousands of workers.

The social media giant this week began laying off 8,000 workers, around 10 percent of its staff. Among those cut are a number of data center staff, although the layoffs impacted every level of the company.

On LinkedIn, a number of data center companies expressed commiserations for those laid off, and noted that they were hiring. Many were themselves former Meta employees.

"So sorry to see so many of my friends and former associates at FB being let go, consider Vantage as your new home," Vantage MEP James Montgomery said. It's a lot like FB was in the old days when I first worked there, and is in a growth mode too, so a lot of opportunity."

Aligned Data Centers regional director Nathan Tincher said: "To any of my former Metamates that were impacted please feel free to reach out. Once the dust settles, and you feel it’s appropriate, I’d love to help you find your next way, if it’s with Aligned Data Centers or elsewhere, and would happily help with connections where I can.

"This is a tough time in what feels like an endless cycle of layoffs there, but I’m confident there’s a great next step for you."

The company is "actively hiring SMEs across commissioning, engineering disciplines, building systems, dry/wet utilities, facility management, design/construction, precon, procurement… at this point just about everything," Tincher said.
