employers cutting jobs say AI is part of the reason: Microsoft, Barclays, American Express, HSBC and 2 more.

Why not just ask an AI?

A chatbot answers from whatever it finds when you ask. Talent Risk has been reading every report, about every one of these employers, eight times a day.

It remembers
A year of every announcement for every employer — so it can tell you whether this round is normal for them, or the first in years.
It counts once
One figure per announcement, confirmed by two reports or the company. Twenty headlines about the same 5,000 jobs are 5,000 jobs.
Same rule for everyone
Barclays and Boeing are judged identically, every time — so you can compare employers, sectors and countries.
Exactly which company
Every employer is pinned to one legal entity. Siemens is not Siemens Energy; Bayer is not Bayer Leverkusen.
It’s watching for you
4,016 employers, scanned eight times a day. You hear about a move because it happened, not because you thought to ask.
Every fact, one click away
Each figure links to the company’s own words or the outlet that reported it. Nothing is made up, and nothing is paid for by the employers.

Facing redundancy?

What you’re owed by law, what a fair offer covers, and when to get a solicitor — usually paid for by your employer.
