Google Australia In Hiring Spree

Google Australia In Hiring Spree – Google is looking to boost headcount in Sydney by around 15 per cent which would tip its local workforce to just over 400 people.

The internet giant employs approximately 350 people in Australia and has 51 job openings for positions.

A surging demand for its enterprise solutions, namely Google Apps and Geo — comprising Google Maps and Google Earth — has been the driving force behind the job spike, says Google Asia-Pacific enterprise managing director Doug Farber.

“We’re will be hiring aggressively in sales, marketing, support and pre-sales roles … to be based in Sydney,” Mr Farber said.

The company wants more enterprise technical solutions engineers for Google Maps, Apps and Earth.

Mr Farber said his team had “tripled” since he joined Google from Salesforce.com over a year ago.
