CEO Sundar Pichai says that for the next year-and-a-half, hiring will focus on engineering, technical and other critical roles
Google plans to slow hiring for the remainder of 2022 in the face of a potential economic recession, CEO Sundar Pichai said on Tuesday in an email to staff.
Historically, Google has remained relatively immune to the economic dips of the technology sector. The internet giant paused hiring after the financial crisis more than a decade ago, but has since regularly added waves of new employees for its main advertising business as well as areas such as smartphones, self-driving cars and wearable devices that aren’t yet profitable.
The uncertain global economic outlook has been top of mind. Like all companies, we’re not immune to economic headwinds. Something I cherish about our culture is that we’ve never viewed these types of challenges as obstacles. Instead, we’ve seen them as opportunities to deepen our focus and invest for the long term.
