A bit scary, tbh. I'm curious to know what the June jobs report will look like.

Was bound to happen eventually unfortunately. A recession was on it's way sooner or later and tech start-ups are high on the affected list given the business model of growth at all costs many of them adopt.
Very sad to see the way a lot of leaders manage it and the general lack of employee protection policies for those affected. Jobs were bound to be lost and we should have been a lot better prepared for that in terms of corporate startegy contingency plans and in terms of social security nets.

Good Morning all,

Since I pivoted into TA (from the Wild West known as Finance) Tech Recruiting has always been the goal. But I’m having a hard time finding a way to get into that space (I do understand there’s a hiring crisis). Nevertheless, does anyone know of tech companies that are hiring? I may be low on the experience side so I’m willing to look at contract/ entry roles as well. Also, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Any insight would be so helpful!

Hi fishes, my friend recently had a bitter experience with Dish Network. So her profile was shortlisted and they asked few questions over email. It did take good 2hrs to answer and she replied back. HM said we are good to go for interview and sent an invite. On the day of interview nobody turned up, neither they gave an update later. She did follow up for a couple of days but no response. Is there any reason why this happens ? Me being in HR field felt this to be a little unprofessional.
