Im a tech guy. In the last week, I have received 4 cold calls about new positions and a couple more emails. This month ive seen more anecdotal hiring going on in my friend group. Is there something going on? I’m not looking, haven’t updated my linkedin in years etc…etc…

For the past year, hiring in software development has been dismal and all of a sudden im seeing a huge spike.

Anyone else seeing this or am I just cherry picking?

    I wonder how long until people stop using over hiring during covid, its a bullshit excuse. Its called being fully staffed and the profits that were made shows running skeleton crews doesn’t make long term sense.

      They overhired in covid because there was a surge in demand, and they expected that demand to stay. When it didn’t they were overstaffed for the demand. Not everything is running on a skeleton crew. Especially in tech where there’s been a huge influx in people in the last 20 years. Tech has been an oversaturated field, even before covid.
