After announcing a freeze on staff hiring, Google now says it wants more to join its cloud teams.
According to a recent internal memo sent to employees, the cloud operations are going to be exempt from the staff freeze which was implemented across parent company Google in July.
It would appear that Google’s cloud business would not feel too big of an impact in terms of the companywide hiring freeze as Google would still be hiring technical talent and it is “focused on hiring engineering, technical and other critical roles.”
Google also “on-boarded” thousands of new employees from Mandiant, which the company officially acquired in September for $5.4 billion in a blockbuster security move.
