This latest update comes from FFVIIR lead developer, Naoki Hamaguchi, via the Mobius Final Fantasy 2nd Anniversary Live Stream. In the stream, Hamaguchi spoke about why they are urgently recruiting, and it's because Final Fantasy VII Remake will now be developed internally, as opposed to with external partners, CyberConnect2.

During a Mobius Final Fantasy live stream on May 27, Hamaguchi commented on the recruitment listings—which are seeking battle and level planners; background, motion, and video effects designers; and a programmer—clarifying that development has shifted from cooperation with an external studio to an internal focus.
“The information is already available online, but I’ve taken charge on the development side for Final Fantasy VII Remake,” Hamaguchi said. “As for the whole story, (it’s a sensitive topic, but) until now, development was moving forward with external cooperation, but the company has decided to shift to an internal setup, including mass production and quality, because we want to control everything, including quality, on a stable schedule. (I won’t be leaving Mobius Final Fantasy.)”
It was previously announced that CyberConnect2 was one of Square Enix’s partners on the project.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is in development for PlayStation 4.
