“Klarna is currently hiring for more than 50 roles around the globe, according to the job postings page on its website.”
Sebastian Siemiatkowski says Klarna stopped hiring a year ago and AI shrank it from 4,500 to 3,500 people. His own careers page lists more than 50 jobs, and his press lead calls the claim “simplifying for brevity.” Klarna has the same headcount it had in 2021 and an IPO on the way. Attrition plus a hiring freeze is not artificial intelligence. It is a pitch deck.
