Google has been slowing down the hiring for a while now but they are taking one step further by fully stopping the hiring for 2 weeks.

After 2 weeks of a freeze on hiring, google will slow down the hiring for the whole remaining year.

The company hired around 10,000 people in Q2 alone and they will disclose the data on the 26^th of July.

The freeze on hiring was done to review the headcount of the employees needed for the company. This time will help the company to see how many people are required and what staff is best where.

This has been a common trend in companies lately as many companies have slowed hiring and some have even laid off some employees.

Google’s reasoning behind the slow down was that they want to prioritize the employees’ roles and skills and then will see what and how many employees are required for what position and what skills they have.

Google is following the trends set by other big tech companies as they are also slowing down the hiring process and some are laying people off.

Meta (parent company of Facebook) has also reportedly slowed down their hiring process and it also issued cutbacks across the companies.

CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg told their employees that they have fewer resources and want employees to work harder for fewer resources.

Also, TikTok is also planning to lay off some employees and rework its operations.
