Cheezhead Recruiting News and Opinion

Google has announced on their blog that they are cutting approximately 100 positions from their recruiting organization.

Lazslo Bock, Vice President of People Operations, said that Google realized they needed to trim their recruiting staff given the weakening economy. He added:

Our first step to address this was to wind down almost all our contracts with external contractors and vendors providing recruiting services for Google. However, after much consideration, we have with great regret decided that we need to go further and reduce the overall size of our recruiting organization by approximately 100 positions.

We know this change will be very difficult for the people concerned, and we hope that many of them will be able to find new roles at Google. They helped build this company, new hire by new hire, and we are enormously grateful for everything they have done.

He said that Google is still hiring, but at a reduced rate.
