Ask HN: Google Hiring Committee admist industry turndown and hiring freeze

This is a question aimed at people who have knowledge of the Google Hiring Committee process. I've recently finished my on-site Google interviews (Dublin based role). The interviews went very well however I've been reading on the news about potential layoffs, etc and I'm wondering if the hiring committee's are going to be more selective now then they previously have been (e.g compared to 6, 12, 24 months ago). Does anyone know whether this would be the case, or are HC decisions isolated from wider-political and financial changes in the industry/company? For some context, there is no competition for the role, it was specifically created for me and I'm the only candidate (I'm a current fixed-term researcher).
