Shouldn't they have fired the recruiting team BEFORE laying off people earlier this year?

Like, isn't the first step to slow down hiring, and then start firing??

No. You can use the firing to purge the lowest performers (or others you don't like) while you're hiring at the same time, with stricter requirements. You might even be able to get new people at a discount since you just flooded the market with people looking for jobs.
