oodle.com Cuts Staff, Enters New Markets

Classifieds website oodle.com, which covers real estate, automotive, careers, and general sales, has made a decision to let 10 staff go.

clickz.com reported the lay offs last Friday, and quoted CEO Craig Donato as saying the cuts were part of an overall reorganisation of the company:

“We re-aligned our organization. We made cuts in marketing and consolidated positions in account management, but we’re still aggressively hiring in engineering and other key roles.”

oodle.com was founded in 2005 by former Excite and eBay executives, and now has traffic of around 4 million unique visitors each month, and powers classifieds for over 200 leading brands, including being a host for Prudential Real Estate feeds.

The website has operated across the US, UK, and Canada for some time and only a week ago announced the addition of India and Ireland.
