Will be talking to recruiters. For the question “why are you looking to move?” should I be honest and say the company is planning a major reorg/layoff and half of our department work is already cancelled? Or should I avoid saying these and just mention I want to diversify my experience, etc?

I would be honest. Those things are outside your control so it's acceptable

Be honest. When I relocated cross-country my former employer gave me a 90 day rolloff (need to transition clients, wrap up projects and deals). I simply told them that I was looking to leave my current employer because of the 90 day timeframe.

Also having been part of a RIF (reduction in force), when I was looking after layoffs, I simply said I was laid off. Just factual. It's fine, it was one of the biggest reasons in 2007-2009 for job seekers.

Think you’ll come across as more genuine if you state the true reason.
