Google hiring freeze predictions into 2023

Micro question:
- When do openings come out for 2023?

Macro question:
- When do companies generally resume hiring after a recession starts to recover? E.g. recover starts now or March 2023 as examples.

Macroscopically: going through a period of transition from startup-spirited innovator to a more conventional, consolidated corporation. Google's primary revenue drivers (~80%) are still advertising based (AdSearch, AdSense, YouTube), while its attempted new products and services have not grown to meet expectations; e.g. Google Pixel holding 2% market share, Google Cloud holding 9%, and Google Stadia being cancelled this week after launching in November 2019. Google’s Area 120 R&D division was also closed this week.

Microscopically: Sundar Pichai put out a statement two weeks ago not to "equate fun with money," and announced a series of quality-of-life reductions impacting employee discretionary activity funding, in-office products and services, and work-from- home access. The overall goal appears to be promoting a more conventional corporate culture and reducing Google's employee-related expenses to be more in-line with traditional large-organization spending.

Google's hiring practices and talent composition are restructuring in accordance to this transition from challenger, to leader, to incumbent in online advertising services.

Hey I'm doing my part. Pixel 7 Pro and Watch arriving next week.

Hiring slows down/layoffs happen 2-6 months post recession declaration. Hiring ramps up 2-6 months post growth declaration.

There’s always a big lag. Not just Google, but rather an overarching macro phenomenon.

Some of our orgs aren’t even on a hiring freeze, we have no idea what’s going on. I imagine we will keep our current stance and slowly hire.

cool, also heard some ppl got their feedback expiry date extended to be 18mo instead of 12mo. Hopefully that applies to all affected by the freeze.

Contract jobs are unaffected

I’m hiring a Technical Recruitment Lead for our team. We’re a health technology company with offices in Canada & the US. We’re nearly 900 employees and reached 700Mil in revenue this year. Our sights are set on reaching unicorn status in the next few years 🦄. We’re privately held with a possible future IPO so it’s a great time to join at the right time if you’re interested in helping fuel the growth to take a company public.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
