1st interview for a job tomorrow, besides recruiter intvw, and recruiter was really interested in why I want to leave after only a year. Writing on the wall says layoffs. Is that an “ok” answer?

No, you could say something more professional and mature like you don't feel the org is growing for you to grow with it or whatever. But I wouldn't go all junior "I think layoffs are coming and I want a new job before they sack me". Or talk about how / why you want to work at this new shop more because of xyz. Sound more like a leader and less potentially desperate. People want to know you want to join them and why, not that you're simply running from a sinking ship.

That’s a very ok answer. They’re just making sure you’re not someone who jumps around
