Google’s parent Alphabet plans to slow its pace of hiring due to the economic slowdown triggered by the coronavirus pandemic.
In a memo to staff on Wednesday (April 15), chief executive officer Sundar Pichai said that aside from slowing down new hires until after the new year, the company is also implementing cost-cutting measures and will be “recalibrating the focus and pace of our investments in areas like data centers and machines, and nonbusiness essential marketing and travel,” according to a report in Bloomberg.
