The announcement aligns the parent of search giant Google with other major tech companies including Uber Technologies (NYSE:UBER) Inc and Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) and comes a day after Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) said it would eliminate some positions.

“Like all companies, we’re not immune to economic headwinds,” Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) said in a regulatory filing.

Hiring efforts will be focused towards engineering and technical roles, it said.
