Lyft, Uber poach key engineers, managers amid Twitter's management turmoil

San Francisco

RIDE services Lyft and Uber have poached dozens of key Twitter Inc employees over the past year, including top engineering managers, to help personalise their apps.

Twitter's management turmoil and 44 per cent stock fall over the last 12 months have helped Lyft and Uber recruit key talent, as the micro-blogging site's employees look to re-create its early success elsewhere, tech recruiters said.
