This is pure negativity and not true. Hiring might slow down because of seasonality overall, but I was hired the last two times end of year. It's a great time to get new employees ramped up when things are slower.

A polite reminder that some companies are growing really fast and are even struggling with hiring.

Just wanted to throw in my $0.02 here as well. I've been hired in November/December twice in my career without issue.

Likewise. I didn’t even know it was a slow period.

Same here. My current position was a November hire, as was my first position.

I got hired in November, for a job I held for almost 27 years.

I would think the impending collapse of the tech sector might be a bigger concern, but I think there's still plenty of time for people getting laid off right now.
