Google, $GOOGL, is laying off hundreds of people across its global recruiting team as hiring at the tech giant continues to slow, per Semafor.
The company laid off 12,000 employees in January. The latest round of cuts affects only recruiters but includes hundreds of full-time positions at the company.
"As we've said, we continue to invest in top engineering and technical talent while also meaningfully slowing the pace of our overall hiring," Courtenay Mencini, a Google spokesperson, said in a statement. "In line with this, the volume of requests for our recruiters has gone down. In order to continue our important work to ensure we operate efficiently, we've made the hard decision to reduce the size of our recruiting team.
