#hiring

Hiring the best I see. Because of course they once again pick out the dr-g addicts. People who do dr-gs do not belong around airplanes, or other safety critical equipment. Once again we will be flooded with lazy unmotivated careless new hires.

Is anyone else’s departments still hiring temps through all of this? I know there is a hiring freeze but we have temps that just started yesterday.

15yrs experienced software developer from cognizant (offshore) who is working for Nike for last few years doesn't know what is github or doesn't know the meaning of commit / repository. I mean literally some resources don't know anything and i am not sure how many companies they are working at same time. They celebrate when they hear people who make them work get laid off. ITC leaders trying to build their own empire and they don't want to hire people who are talented and have worked for same company. RIP Nike Technology!

I did my interview almost 6 weeks ago and I haven't heard back. This is for a role in their corporate office in Charlotte.

Anyone know the end date for the freeze?

Based off the email from recieved, what do they mean by newly hired? I started last August 2025…

A general thread on who is hiring in O&G nowadays?

He mentioned helping clients innovate through agentic AI, trusted data infrastructure, and other technology investments. Do you see this as a positive sign of growth and future opportunities, or are you taking a wait-and-see approach?
How do you think this investment will impact employees, clients, and future hiring?

Shankar was the oxygen that all GTS mafia was breathing. I am wondering how’s the situation there now.. Is the promotion and hiring still based on favoritism?
How about layoffs? Probably still saving friends and family over talent.

Looking at the 146 jobs open today, only 18% are US based and 5 of those US based jobs are mariners and a pilot. We all know the reality, but seeing the actual numbers is pretty sad for a company that once prided itself on its US legacy/heritage.

We finally got approval for a role on the team. How am I going to pick when I sit in on interviews? The worst candidate. With the mandate that someone has to get does not meet I’m not going to help select the best candidate that might knock me into that category for future layoffs. So for people trying to transfer to a new role internally be aware that people are actively hiring fall guys.wouldn’t it be great if we could actually hire the best person so we could do good work?

What’s the deal with this new practice of screening candidates with an AI cultural fit exam? What do they even ask on that thing?

I see a ton of new positions being posted.

Is this for real?

They keep telling me we are not hiring.

You all should consider it. I have never seen a more miserable (and slightly r@cist) group of people and I’m certain your charming personalities really shine at work. Have you ever considered being enjoyable to be around? If you hate Wells Fargo so much please just leave - go find something you actually enjoy! Create something new! You have free will! Layoffs happen and they su-k and I’m glad that we at least get severance - but some of yall should be fired for just being a pain in the a-s. No one will miss you when you’re gone.

Anyone?

Layoffs have impacted specific industries like technology and media organizations. However, the broader job market continues to evolve with new demands. Demand remains strong in essential services, infrastructure development, and emerging technologies. Healthcare, artificial intelligence, skilled trades, and clean energy are key hiring sectors. This indicates a structural shift in the labor market, not a broad decline.

“At this time the company decision is that we are currently unable to rehire any employees that were impacted by the RIF. This could change in the future as we continue to review policy. If so, we will most certainly reach back out.”

Former manager and adjacent manager gave good feedback to HR. Hiring manager was going to make an offer and at the last minute this came through.

Looks like it is all hiring now with no WFR planned - I might be wrong or missing pockets of layoffs happening silently.

It must be out of GPS, but I really like the program where we hire people with mental disabilities to clean the kitchens throughout campus. I genuinely think it's nice even though it's not always convenient.

But I don't think we've taken this program far enough. I think as a way of turning around the company we should replace the majority of VPs and Senior directors across the company with people from this program.

Now some of you may argue that people with severe mental disabilities aren't going to be able to operate in high functioning positions like Nike vice presidents and senior directors do. But at this point I'm willing to take that bet.

Nearly 7 million visas processed since 2015

➡️ 70% from India

➡️ 12% from China

🔹 A former official told Newsweek 80-90% of applications from India involved fraudulent documents or unqualified applicants

The market loves our moves and is confident on our hiring plans and return to growth

Are there any companies out there that are worth a damn and hiring? Doesn't have to be a bank or FI, just somewhere that those of us who are Grade 12 and up might be able to take our talent, while also being paid well, given solid benefits, treated with dignity, and not put through months of radio silence or fruitless interviews?

Trust and believe, I am doing my best to hold out for the inevitable layoff and severance, but in the meantime, may as well ask.

This company has already almost cost me my life once and I'm rapidly approaching complete hopelessness. There has GOT to be something better out there, right?

...Right?

Walmart has approx 2300-2400 H1B employees. That’s thousands of US workers that could have a job, but don’t, because Walmart would rather bring in cheap, foreign labor.

When did CVS start using HireVue for prescreening?
For anyone lucky enough not to know, it’s where you record yourself answering interview questions while an AI quietly judges you. Essentially a corporate Tinder.
This is a director level posting, not a role getting hundreds of entry-level applicants. I’ve been here over 20 years, and I only apply to things I actually care about—not panic-clicking “apply” at midnight. My skills were a great match for the role. I’m also not eager to risk awkwardness with my current manager just to get rejected because I didn’t maintain “optimal eye contact with my webcam.” Its a lateral move so I really need a two-way conversation with HR first to assess compatibility.
I was told it’s mandatory, so I withdrew.
Am I overreacting? Is this just the times? I get it AI is everything now but I feel certain circumstances should not be using this route to weed out candidates. Id love to hear from those who think this is a great idea because I must be missing something and some day I may very well HAVE to use it..

Layoffs in Q1, hiring spree in Q2. Classic.
• “They didn’t eliminate the work. They just eliminated the people.”
• “New hires = lower salaries. That’s the real math here.”

Does anyone have any idea when the next round will be, June or July 2026?

Please don't assume we're back just because we're hiring. If you've followed the trend over the last few years, OpenText has often hired and then later laid off employees to backfill positions. The current hiring activity alone doesn't necessarily indicate sustained growth.

So how is it working for the robotics team? I see they are trying to staff up? I'm a electromechanical engineer....place for me there?

Mobility build de-emphasized in capital allocation.

Fiber build emphasized in capital allocation.

So, where are all the REQs for wireline positions to manage the fiber build? There ain’t sh-t on workday.

There were plenty of rumors, has anything been confirmed?

Heard today that Schwab is going to discontinue hiring in the US and all backfills and future roles will go to GCC. Has anyone else heard this?

Fidelity Investments announced job cuts at its Covington, Kentucky campus. A larger reorganization eliminated approximately 800 jobs globally. The firm will reinvest in technology and recruit early-career engineers. This restructuring follows a financially successful 2025 for the company. The Covington campus expects net growth, but with different job types.

Talked to a few hiring managers on Friday and they all echoed the same thing , the last few weeks were the toughest they’ve ever had to maneuver. Every open position was flooded with applications . multiple leaders recommending and putting referees for their own people , non stop calls and emails for referrals all against a deadline to hire before the end of May. Managers were grinding through 8 to 10 interviews a day, trying to balance candidate situations like urgent visa situations and ongoing medical treatments. So people who found internal roles during this time was due to strongest leadership push rather than the best skills. glad May is wrapped up so everyone can take a breath and move on. I am sure there is better way to do this ..

Many companies rushed to replace employees with AI, but the reality is that advanced AI tools like Claude and others can become expensive at scale and still require human oversight. It wouldn't be surprising if organizations start correcting course and increase hiring again. The best results often come from AI assisting employees, not completely replacing them. The next few years may see many companies finding a better balance between technology and human talent.

I interviewed and was hired on the spot. No experience!

I don’t understand how Cigna is hiring for customer service agents when a mass layoff was just done, along with possible upcoming layoffs with IFP/Evicore? Like why not move over the agents who are at risk of losing their job to the customer service department the company is hiring for? What’s the point in hiring others when you have internal people with experience? Why are we hiring anyways with current layoffs? I don’t understand the moves this company is making. Nothing makes sense anymore.

Been hearing rumors that h1b sponsorship is dead in cvs now. Does this apply to all roles? Or IT excluded?

50% of new hires are from that country, American new grads cannot find a job, fk.
