Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google reportedly announced a hiring pause on Wednesday, stating it will stop hiring for two weeks, not long after announcing it would slow the pace of hiring.
Last week the company said it would be reducing the pace of hiring for the rest of the year. However, according to an article from The Information, they have decided to implement a pause.
The Information article states they have seen an email to employees by Google senior vice president Prabhakar Raghavan, which says the pause will not impact offers already sent out to applicants, but that it will not make any new offers until the pause is over.
Raghavan is said to have told employees that they will use this time to review their headcount needs and "align on a new set of prioritized Staffing Requests for the next three months."
