100...Google to lay off 100 recruiters Search giant also says it plans to shutter three offices amid worsening economy. January 15, 2009: 4:17 AM ET SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -- Google Inc. said it will lay off 100 full-time recruiters and close three engineering offices, the latest sign that the weak economy has not spared one of the technology industry's most resilient companies. In a post on Google's official blog Wednesday, Laszlo Bock, Google's vice president of people operations, said the Mountain View, California-based company now needs fewer people focused on hiring. But he added that "Google is still hiring at a "reduced rate.". Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) had started by terminating contracts with external recruiters, but the worsening economy has necessitated the laying off of full-time workers, Bock said. "The number is very small, but what concerns me is that this is the first example of laying off full-time employees in Google's history," said Collins Stewart analyst Sandeep Aggrawal. money.cnn.com
