I would have thought it was safe to assume just about everyone has a hiring freeze right now?


It's not, really. I'm in the interview process with about half a dozen companies right now. Coronavirus has hit companies very unevenly: some have lost 80% of their business, but some have seen their userbase grow by 50% just in the last month.


We're also wrapping up interviews for three positions. University/education.

We'll be running into a hiring freeze very shortly, but I assume other organizations that are essential and have positions key to providing service will continue to be filled.


Nope. I’ve been getting the normal FAANG recruiter inbounds, and my fiancé just accepted a role at a venture backed startup after receiving two offers.


Not at all. Effects vary wildly across industries and even within that, companies are affected in very different ways.

Many companies are redoubling their hiring efforts — lots of new talent suddenly available is big opportunity.


Not at all, my company is hiring, we have TONS of work to do!
