I’m unsure that it has impacted hiring yet. Or said differently, I haven’t seen a change or slowdown, yet.

Onboarding was done onsite for remote employees. Now onboarding is being done remote.

Large NYC corp - still business as usual, except all interviews are remote

I was just going to ask this question! I'm currently unemployed and starting to look for a job. I was looking forward to being picky about it - I'm particularly set on finding a company that's working on climate change. Now I'm wondering if I should lower my expectations. Maybe I should snatch up whatever job I can before companies restrict or halt hiring. I'll need some employment before all of this blows over.

It's scary to watch the chaos grow without the security of a paycheck (and all the other perks and protections that come with a full-time job).

Interviews and onboarding have gone remote, otherwise business as usual.

We have new starters scheduled for next week, and this is the first time we’re onboarding people remotely. Sure is going to be interesting :-)
