标 题: Google’s CEO sent employees about hiring slowdown
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Tue Jul 12 21:35:35 2022, 美东)
Hi Googlers,
Hard to believe we’re already through the first half of 2022. It’s the
right opportunity to thank everyone for the great work so far this year, and
to share how my Leads and I are thinking about H2.
The uncertain global economic outlook has been top of mind. Like all
companies, we’re not immune to economic headwinds. Something I cherish
about our culture is that we’ve never viewed these types of challenges as
obstacles. Instead, we’ve seen them as opportunities to deepen our focus
and invest for the long term.
In these moments, I turn to our mission: to organize the world’s
information and make it universally accessible and useful. It’s what
inspired me to join the company 18 years ago, and what makes me so
optimistic about the impact we are able to have on the world. Knowledge and
computing are how we drive our mission forward. That’s the lens we use to
decide where to invest — whether it’s in areas like Search, Cloud, YouTube
, Platforms and Hardware, the teams that support them, or in the AI that
enables more helpful products and services.
We help people and society when we focus on what we do best, and do it
really well. The investments we’ve made in the first half of the year
reflect this vision. In Q2 alone, we added approximately 10,000 Googlers,
and have a strong number of commitments for Q3 start dates which reflects,
in part, the seasonal college recruiting calendar. These are extraordinary
numbers, and they show our excitement about long-term opportunities, even in
uncertain times.
Because of the hiring progress achieved so far this year, we’ll be slowing
the pace of hiring for the rest of the year, while still supporting our most
important opportunities. For the balance of 2022 and 2023, we’ll focus our
hiring on engineering, technical and other critical roles, and make sure
the great talent we do hire is aligned with our long-term priorities.
Moving forward, we need to be more entrepreneurial, working with greater
urgency, sharper focus, and more hunger than we’ve shown on sunnier days.
In some cases, that means consolidating where investments overlap and
streamlining processes. In other cases, that means pausing development and
re-deploying resources to higher priority areas. Making the company more
efficient is up to all of us — we’ll be creating more ways for you all to
engage and share ideas to help, so stay tuned.
Scarcity breeds clarity — this is something we have been saying since the
earliest days of Google. It’s what drives focus and creativity that
ultimately leads to better products that help people all over the world.
That’s the opportunity in front of us today, and I’m excited for us to
rise to the moment again.
