Google Parent Company Lays Off Hundreds From Recruitment Team Amid Slowing Hiring

Alphabet, Google's parent company, is laying off hundreds of employees from its global recruitment team as it continues to slow hiring.
The layoffs are not part of a company-wide reduction, and Alphabet will retain a majority of the recruitment team.
Laid-off employees will receive support in finding new roles at Alphabet or elsewhere.
Alphabet cut around 12,000 jobs in January, reducing its workforce by 6%.
The layoffs come as weak economic conditions have ended Big Tech companies' pandemic-fueled hiring sprees.
