Euro Top Tech Jobs - Week 31
Christmas hiring break & New Year headcount + Euro Top Tech Jobs weekly analytics + Hand-picked roles
Christmas hiring trends and New Year Headcount
AFAIK most companies - especially big tech - open their headcount (new positions for which they’re hiring) at the beginning of the year.
Which means that at this time there’s usually more supply of jobs than in other periods.
Ideally, you want to be in your best shape (regarding career strategy, companies’ selection, CV/LI upgrades, networking/referral search, application maxing and interview prep) by now.
If you wanted to upgrade your job in 2025, the best time to join sixfigureeuroengineer.com was 3-5 months ago. The next best time is now.
One thing I’ve noticed looking at job ads on LinkedIn is also that over Christmas positions are getting a very low number of applications (like <15 for positions that usually would go well over 200+).
Maybe it could be strategical to apply to some of these roles hoping to have an “easy game” competing. But I’m also unsure: I think recruiters are on holidays too, and maybe these job ads are old. But you can try. Let me know if you get an interview this way!
With that said, the most important will be to be in your best shape in the next 3-5 months.
I will go back to do some of the old school analytics I used to do with the jobs on the main page of the job board (!= from the fully-remote high-paying companies’ list page), such that we can track this headcount opening in January.
Right now, there are a bit fewer openings than usual. I’m quite confident that in the next few weeks the numbers will go up. We’ll see.
