Google is on a hiring freeze. If that’s the case, then I am confused how come people on LinkedIn keeps saying they just got hurried by Google.

Can someone from Google tell us if it’s an hiring freeze or just a way to get us from applying right now. I am very lost if I should apply or stop.

Hard to say without context but hiring freeze can also mean net new positions, as in backfilling roles continues but the budgeted headcount is not going to change/increase.

This is probably exactly what’s happening. So still apply!

It’s not just Biden economics. There’s three main factors 1) commodity shocks (eg oil and gas banning Russia drives up prices on remaining supply 2) supply chain shocks globally that will take time to recover 3) stimulus money that Fed pumped into the economy (1st stimulus started with Trump btw), increasing money supply to create inflation. The US isn’t the only country facing tough economic times, other countries around the globe are too. In fact, we probably have it better. But this environment tech markets will continue to be depressed as investors rotate to other industries and asset classes that are more cash rich. This decreasing valuation puts pressure on execs to improve bottom line through hiring freeze and laying off employees. Hope this helps.

Not sure about Google specifically, but a hiring freeze often doesn't mean that they are not going to fill essential roles they find they need or fill roles for people that leave. Just new / expansion roles are frozen probably.
