Apparently, Google Doesn't Quite Need Kai Fu Lee's Recruiting Skills
from the just-post-the-job-openings dept
Earlier this month, a judge ruled that about the only thing Kai-Fu Lee could do for Google is help recruit employees for Google's new China research center (as long as those employees didn't work for Lee's former employer, Microsoft). Well, it's beginning to look like Google really didn't need much help in the recruiting department. Within five hours of posting 50 job openings for the new center, Google received over 1,000 resumes. Of course, Microsoft may be realizing that their lawsuit against Google and Lee may have backfired. Perhaps one of the reasons the job openings got so much attention was because of the lawsuit. While many people may have passed over the news that Google was opening such a center in China, all the press over Lee's status certainly made it known to a lot more people.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

That, and when you pile 8 people into a 3 bedroom place, your cost of living goes down quite a bit.
