Hiring slowdown reaches new low
June 2023 Hacker News Hiring Trends
June Highlights
Sunday, July 2, 2023
It should come as little surprise that the number of job postings on whoishiring threads continues to slow heading into summer. Between the general market slowness and summer vacation season starting, June dropped to a new longtime low of 359 postings. Perhaps the lowest of what I consider the modern era of "Who is Hiring?". The last time postings were this low was January 2015. "Who is Hiring?" had only surpassed 500 postings once before then though, so its popularity as a job board was nowhere near where it is today.
