Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is advancing its hiring slowdown, with a complete pause on hiring for two weeks, according to The Information.
The company a week ago said it would slow hiring for the rest of the year - the sort of announcement that has come from all of its big-tech rivals facing a decelerating economy.

A memo to employees says that will now become a two-week break in hiring overall, according to the report. It's not rescinding offers already made, but the company won't extend new offers until after the pause.
"Weâll use this time to review our headcount needs and align on a new set of prioritized Staffing Requests for the next three months," says senior VP Prabhakar Raghavan in the memo.
The news comes in enough time for analysts to factor it into expectations for Alphabet earnings, which are set for Tuesday after the market close; consensus expectations are for EPS of $1.30 on revenues of $70.25B.
