Google's CEO Eric Schmidt said the company will hire more than 1,000 staff in Europe this year. The new recruits would be roughly split between technology and sales staff, he said at the Digital Life Design conference in Germany.
The move will increase Google's existing staff of 5,000 by 20% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In total the company plans to hire 6,200 new staff this year, boosting its global workforce by one-quarter.
The announcement comes as Google recently posted fourth-quarter profits of $2.54bn.
