    EVEN amid the headwinds of Covid-19, Chinese tech giant ByteDance, which owns the popular video app TikTok, is on a recruitment blitz. The startup, which is reportedly worth US$75 billion, is hiring for close to 80 positions in Singapore in software development and operations, among other roles.

    On Wednesday, Bloomberg reported that ByteDance is looking to fill almost 10,000 positions globally, about a third of which are roles in coding, engineering and research.
