Microsoft will be more cautious about the recruitment of its windows and office departments (including the Microsoft team), which is the latest sign that the company has reassessed its growth plan in response to economic uncertainty.
The company confirmed a Bloomberg report on Thursday morning that all new employees of these groups need the approval of Rajesh jaha, executive vice president of Microsoft experience and equipment group, and his leadership team. Microsoft told Bloomberg that economic slowdown will not happen all over the company.
“As Microsoft prepares for the new fiscal year, it is ensuring that the right resources are combined with the right opportunities,” a Microsoft spokesman said in a statement to geekwire. “In the coming year, Microsoft will continue to increase the number of employees and pay more attention to the whereabouts of these resources.”
Microsoft’s fiscal year 2023 will begin on July 1. In the weeks leading up to the new financial year, companies usually make changes to different parts of their business.
In recent weeks, companies including meta and salesforce have also slowed down their recruitment. Redfin, a high-tech real estate brokerage, announced a hiring freeze and canceled so-called small number of job opportunities.
Microsoft announced last week that changes in salary and stock compensation were mainly focused on retaining employees who might have wanted to change jobs.
