Cars.com is reducing its full-time workforce by about 11% as part of a push to cut costs as it focuses more on artificial intelligence.
Cars.com had about 1,700 full-time, part-time, seasonal, and temporary employees at the end of 2025, but the 11% cut applies to full-time workforce only, so layoffsCount remains null rather than estimating from a mixed headcount base. The company cited AI, data, and analytics as key products, but the article also frames the plan around broader cost cutting and vendor optimization.
