If the thing you really want to spring clean this year is your desk at your current job, you're in luck — there are thousands of opportunities to start fresh with a new office at a new company.
Glassdoor combed through its vast database of job listings and discovered that job seekers still hold the upper hand as companies continue to compete for talent. Only a few days into April, hundreds of employers have already posted new listings looking for positions as varied as software engineer, nurse, product manager and data scientist. In particular, these 20 companies, spread across the U.S., have dramatically upped their number of open positions this month, indicated they're on a hiring spree and hungry for new talent.
So tweak that resume and toss your name in the ring....

CNN is not on the list. :-)
If you work for CNN, you can bet on zero pay increases for the next five years, and virtually no one interested in you within the industry.
How many of the Tech jobs are nothing more than fake job postings?
This reads like Glassdoor paid CNBC to run an ad for them in the form of a news story.
All of them, unless you’re a dot.
Agreed. Some of the “hiring like crazy” companies listed had 10-15 job openings. Not sure how hiring 10 people is newsworthy.
“How many of the Tech jobs are nothing more than fake job postings?”
That’s funny. We used to scroll through the job postings for at least three of DH’s employers. Many don’t exist; they never existed.
That’s their reset button. When they start spewing mumbo-jumbo you click that and the conversation dramatically changes.
If you visit Dice.com, you’ll find they claim to have around 87,000 tech job openings available. The reality is Dice.com might have 8,700 openings.
If a company posts a legitimate job & 10 staffing firms repost the same job, Dice.com counts that 11 openings.
There are a lot of reasons to post a job opening, hiring may not be one of them.
You mean the ones that ask for 8 years of experience in a 1 year old technology so they can get an H1B in who claims that experience?
With everything going on in leftist run hell-holes and "sanctuary" cities right now, who in their right mind would willingly move to San Fran or Seattle or the like? What's the pitch in the interview process? Come here, we have needles in the parks and on the sidewalks, homeless defecate in the street, you might get mugged/slashed/shot by illegals that your high taxes are paying to support, but don't you dare try to prepare or defend yourself you racist $#&*:! ... But on the upside we're saving you from the scourge of plastic straws...
Sometimes companies bid on a contract and put out job postings to start collecting resumes for possible hires. That way, if they win the contract and need to staff up, their ramp-up time is reduced. If they win, these turn into real job opportunities. If they lose the contract bid, the jobs go away. Companies might go so far as to interview for positions, even make job offers contingent upon contract award/win. The gotcha is, often several companies will be competing for the same contract, all advertising basically the same jobs in the same market. So it looks like things are booming but really, only a fraction will turn into real jobs.
Staffing companies, or even small 2nd tier engineering/services companies will often collect resumes for relatively generic positions knowing that these kinds of jobs usually open up. So it looks like they are there, but really it is a hedge against a likely opening in a few weeks or months.
Is Trump getting credit? NO. I’m surprised that bammy isn’t taking all the credit.
8 years of what amounts to a Technicolor Vomit of tools and versions... which change daily.
A good friend is CFO at a semiconductor technology firm. As he put it: “The (urban) area is booming. Great job environment... provided your’re in your 20s. Some of these kids don’t have a driver’s license. An urban office works great for them.”
This works... until these kids get married & decide their children need the safety of the suburbs.
There’s another advantage to an urban office... you can discriminate against older workers. Many older workers will decline a Downtown opportunity due to the commute. No need to run the risk of age discrimination during the interview process.
I get calls for hot opportunities all day long. They’re all Downtown. I tell them I would have a 90 minute one-way commute on public transit. Then, I’d still have to get to work. Cheaper renewed office space downtown is never located near a mass transit stop. I had one Downtown company send me the bus schedule since I didn’t know the best way to commute Downtown from my home. Thanks, but no thanks.
If you want to have some fun. Tell these Downtown recruiters you’ll need “some remote work” to consider the job. Unless you’re willing to come in everyday, they’ll run from you. I see this over and over again.
Ever wonder what these Downtown Romper Rooms look like? Visit venturefizz.com & look at the office tours section. Check out the photos of the offices.
