CHARLOTTE — Charlotte-based LendingTree Inc. eliminated about 200 jobs companywide last year amid a higher-rate environment.
The online lending marketplace released a letter to its shareholders Nov. 3 disclosing the cuts. LendingTree has now reduced its headcount by more than 20% from its peak level in mid-2021, according to the letter sent the same day it reported third-quarter earnings.

A LendingTree spokesperson told CBJ the layoffs were a result of the challenging macroenvironment and unsustainable expenses.
