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.
