Google will add to payroll
Google will continue its hiring surge by adding 6,000 new jobs to its payroll in 2011, the Los Angeles Times reports. The decision to increase its payroll by such a large percentage demonstrates Google's positive outlook for the new year.
According to the Times, the decision to add 6,000 jobs comes as Google forecasts expansion beyond its traditional resources, moving into new fields that are expected to compete with Apple and Facebook. In 2011, the search engine giant will tackle new terrain in mobile and social networking technology.
"We're looking for top talent - across the board and around the globe," Alan Eustace, Google's vice president of engineering and research, said in an online posting.
The added payroll will be spread across a wide section of the company, the Times details. While approximately one-third of new hires will be placed in Google's Mountain View, California, headquarters, more than 1,000 new employees will be based in offices in Europe.
Significant staff gains are not new at Google. The company added 4,565 employees in 2010, marking a 23 percent increase since 2007. Google's total payroll will now exceed 30,000 staff should the company's new target be reached.
