Who's freezing hiring - List of companies freezing hiring, hiring and doing layoffs

by•

With lots of offers rescinded in the last few days, we took some time out to compile this list of tech companies freezing hiring or doing layoffs (and those that are still hiring). Updating live and linking to job boards if companies are still hiring.

Hi, I'm David — the cofounder at Candor. Seeing many of my friends worry about this, we started compiling this list of companies freezing hiring from Coronavirus at 6am... and haven’t stopped. I hope it helps. I'll keep updating it live, so email me at hello@candor.co if you're hearing anything.

@candor @davidchouinard Thank you for your hard work and generosity (with your time and energy)! This resource is, and will continue to be, invaluable for countless people. If there's anything you can use help with, design-related or otherwise, please let me know — happy to help however possible! Thanks again!

@candor @davidchouinard Great Initiative! How do you gather this kind of information about the companies?

We're reviewing every submission manually (over 1,000 so far!) and verifying directly with company leadership and news in the press where possible. We're a team of volunteers doing this so if you can help us out and help verify a hiring freeze one way or another, let us know. We need more companies that are hiring so if you can send us a link to your job board we'll promote it. This has had 170,000 visits over the weekend so your contributions really help a lot of people.

@2michaeltaylor Great initiative, and really interesting data to sift through. This will turn into a great data post later depending on how it changes ;)

This seems to be the definitive list of companies at this point (thanks @davidchouinard). Has anyone seen a similar "definitive" list for individuals laid off? So far, they seem company specific, like this one: https://airtable.com/shriv4Mhinz...

@davidchouinard @emilykramer of wow ok this is a list of people looking because they've been laid off? Glad someone is doing this for the individual people who need help.
Emily Kramer
@davidchouinard @2michaeltaylor I am specifically hoping I can help connect laid off marketers to companies that need part time or full time marketing help right now. I'm the former head of marketing of Carta and Asana (taking some time off right now to explore some startup ideas) and thought I might be able to help.

@davidchouinard @emilykramer DM me on Twitter and I'll see if I can help. Before Candor I was a co-founder at a growth marketing agency Ladder who I know are still hiring, and there might be others in my network. https://twitter.com/2michaeltaylor

This is great, @davidchouinard! Thanks for creating this. Would love to see an updated chart of the industries, seems like it doesn't show at the moment.

@davidchouinard @martin_byfounders we're talking to Netlify - we have had so much traffic our process is timing out. They're working on increasing the time limit.
Michael Taylor

@davidchouinard @martin_byfounders this should be fixed now - thanks for your patience. Now you can see the chart in all its glory!

If we get reports of a hiring freeze we add it for the company. However if someone later clarifies it's just one geography or team we adjust the notes.

This is cool! I built something similar last night called Save a Freelancer 👉www.saveafreelancer.com
Ani Arevikian
Hi! Awesome idea, especially for those who are applying now. Just one Q, does a hiring freeze in the app mean that that particular company freezes hiring all around the world? Or is is just in some particular country? @davidchouinard
Domen Primec
Perfect timing :) Looks great
Sarah Mooney
