Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is adding a lot of uncertainty and anxiety for millions of people. Events, left, right, and center and being cancelled. Markets are being very volatile and stocks are dropping sharply.
Several companies have initiated hiring freezes. Some have frozen hiring for all positions while others have put freeze in place only for non-essential positions. Millions of people especially those who are on the job market will be affected by this. However, we at CodeAhoy believe that once this is over, there is a strong possibility that markets will jump back up and there will be a hiring frenzy.
To track hiring freezes across companies all over the world, we are asking our users to help build a list of companies that have put a freeze on hiring.
