Google Cuts Hundreds More Jobs in Recruiting as Hiring Slows Despite Revenue Growth

Google is cutting hundreds of jobs in its global recruiting organization due to reduced hiring needs.
The cuts were announced in a video meeting by Google's recruiting VP Brian Ong. This follows 12,000 job cuts announced in January.
Google had a 7% increase in Q2 revenue, beating analyst expectations, despite cost-cutting efforts.
Affected recruiting employees will receive emails starting Wednesday and retain some access during a transition period.
Google confirmed the cuts, saying recruiting volume has gone down so recruiting team needs to be reduced for efficiency.
