Director, Talent Acquisition @ Penguin Random House, Ex- Google

At 10am today, all of Google Staffing got an email that there would be a meeting at Noon - it said there was going to be hard news and we should work from home. Too late as I was already close to Penn Station. I figured nothing good would come of the meeting, but tried to stay positive as those minutes until the meeting went on - feeling like hours. Through all of the layoffs at Google and elsewhere, I had hoped that I would somehow, for some reason remain safe. Sadly, that did not happen today. If I have ever been your Recruiter, Manager, colleague, teammate, or friend, I would appreciate your support, an endorsement, and any connections you want to make. I have a deep passion for talent, recruitment, HR and compensation, and am eager to find my next home.

They laid off all of staffing? I'm in PA. Are you in NYC? Feel free to connect.

You’re not just a great talent manager, you’re an amazing human. Full stop. You’ve helped COUNTLESS people - and I’m not just talking about helping others land their dream job. I’m talking helping people find open vaccination spots at the height of the pandemic. Strongly believe that all the good you’ve put out into the world will come back to you tenfold, especially in this moment.

That's really heart breaking news Pam. You are one of the few recruiters I have been truly impressed with. While this is an unfortunate news, I hope you take time to deal with that. Please let me know how can I help. Do not hesitate in reaching out to me for any references (verbal or written) or connecting with anyone who is in my network.

That is crazy – I'm so sorry to hear that Pamela Bookbinder Clarke. My girlfriend was part of the initial layoffs of recruiters last year and she thankfully landed a role after ~600 applications and 40 interviews. If it's helpful at all, I'm happy to give you free access to ResumAI by Wonsulting & AutoApplyAI, by Wonsulting to get your started on your job search.
