Google cuts hundreds of recruiting jobs amid hiring slowdown

Google is laying off hundreds of recruiters as part of cost-cutting efforts and a broader hiring slowdown.
The recruiting layoffs come after Google announced 12,000 job cuts in January, representing about 6% of its workforce.
Google stated the recruiting cuts are due to decreased demand for recruiters as hiring volumes have declined.
Employees affected by the layoff will receive severance packages and career transition support.
Alphabet is the first major tech company to announce layoffs this quarter after previous cuts by Meta, Microsoft and Amazon.
