Google CEO Sundar Pichai said it will slow hiring in memo

Google will slow down its pace of hiring in response to an “uncertain” global economic outlook, chief executive Sundar Pichai wrote in an email to employees that was obtained by The Washington Post.

The company has already hired thousands of employees this year and will continue to hire, but it will start focusing its hiring efforts on engineering and other “technical” roles, Pichai wrote in the memo.
