Yes, hiring slows down in Nov, Dec, Jan. In Q2, Q3 you can see a surge in hiring.

I see a surge in hiring, especially in Q3.

like

Yes - now.

To be clear - hiring doesn’t happen much in November and December. And there’s a bit of a “hangover” in January.

A lot of people end the fiscal year in March or June, so new budgets are unlocked in the new fiscal year for hiring. Plus you have a flood of graduates for lower level positions.

I’d say April to September as a whole is “peak hiring season” in general

So our CEO asked me and a colleague to give a Start/Stop/Continue Mid-year review of our CIO who’s been our Head of Product for a few months (Our Head of Product left because of him when that guy came in)

We have a lot to say and none of the PMs approves the way he operates.

My concern is that it’s meant to be transparent but if we’re honest and he gets called off, he will figure out it comes from us.

Never been in that situation before, is it better to be completely honest or a bad idea?
