GOOGLE said overnight it will hire a record number of people this year, taking on more than 6000 workers "across the board and around the globe."

The internet giant added more than 4500 "Googlers" to its employee ranks in 2010 and plans to easily eclipse that figure this year, Google senior vice president of engineering and research Alan Eustace said in a blog post.

"It will be our biggest hiring year in company history," he said. "We’ll hire as many smart, creative people as we can to tackle some of the toughest challenges in computer science."

Google’s top hiring year to date was 2007, when the company added 6000 employees, according to Mr Eustace.

Information about jobs at Google was available online at google.com/jobs.
