The read

Perplexity added 41 and lost 26 over 90 days (net +15), but the mix tells the real story: two VP-level enterprise hires (Enterprise Growth, Enterprise AI Transformation) plus directors in IP and legal signal a push upmarket, while Campus Partner and Campus Strategist roles departed — the latter to Compa. The Head of Support (VP-level) also exited. Engineering remains the dominant function at 227, absorbing most growth, and a notable internal promotion elevated an Engineering Manager to Head of AI Acceleration. Modest outflow to Laylo (2) and inflow from Accenture (2) and tier-one tech (Amazon, Apple) rounds out the talent movement.
