Who's Getting Hired in April 2025? Let's Talk!

Lately, there's been a lot of buzz that many job postings out there are just... ghost listings - positions that aren't really open.

So, I'm curious: Did you or someone you know actually land a job this month? Or have you noticed the hiring landscape shifting?

Drop your wins, observations, or frustrations in the comments. Let's crowdsource the real hiring trends for April 2025.

Just putting this out there to get the conversation rolling - here’s what I’ve noticed.

I’ve personally come across a lot of fake job postings lately — especially on X. You apply, and then no replies, no followups.

Sometimes it feels like the listing was never real to begin with.

We've hired someone amazing from a "Who's Hiring" thread, so I'm looking forward to posting future openings there as well.
