I've been reached out to by Google recruiters with COVID-19 specific messages. They know this is the time to hire software engineers.

Startups with cash are doing this, too.
My takeaway so far is that the tech job search is going to be way more competitive for a while. Since this started, we have had about twice as many people pass phone screens. Smart people who were taking time off who suddenly want a stable income, and smart people who were laid off from less secure startups. Some very talented people that we would have hired two months ago, might not get hired when they interview next week, and it's not because we are hiring less.

This. Lots of cheap/desperate talent right now.
