According to Techcrunch, this decision was made after the company announced a recruitment limit until the end of the year to have a new, more comprehensive and general view of its recruitment process.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed that the company recruited nearly 10,000 employees in just the second quarter of this year and will focus resources on engineering and other key areas. However, recruitment has been completely suspended.
Prabhakar Raghavan, senior vice president of Google, explained: We will take time to review the demand for the number of employees and make appropriate adjustments over the next three months.
Google also said that the "freezing" of recruitment will not affect the job offers sent, but the company will not have any new jobs for the candidates.
Google's move is said to be in line with last week's internal memories, with CEO Sundar Pichai saying the company is following a "more business" trend and plans to redeploy resources in more priority areas.
Similar regulations have also occurred at other technology companies as some have issued freezes on recruitment and even lay-offs.
Meta ( Facebook's parent company) has suspended the recruitment of a number of engineer groups and made cuts across the entire board of directors at the company. Therefore, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has asked his employees to do more work as the company plans to reduce resources.
Similarly, Twitter and Spotify have also cut recruitment, and Apple plans to reduce human resources by 2023. In addition, other companies including Substack, Tesla and Netflix are also not avoidable and have fired many employees when witnessing the recent "dislapse".
