5 companies that are hiring right now

Don’t let fears of job losses across the tech sector spook you: The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ monthly job report for November showed a bright picture for workers.

The Bureau reported that hiring slowed only slightly in November, with employers adding 263,000 jobs in the month, compared to 284,000 jobs in October. The unemployment rate held steady, at just 3.7%.

This consistently hot jobs market is causing one note of caution. Strong demand for workers has been driving unprecedented wage increases this year. A typical worker who changed jobs between April 2021 and March 2022 saw their earnings increase by 9.7% over a year earlier, after accounting for inflation, according to the Pew Research Center.

That is worrying the Federal Reserve, which fears wage demands could add to already high inflation. Despite the mixed picture — and layoffs at tech giants such as Meta, Twitter and Amazon — there are many more companies that are looking for new talent.

As some tech firms shed workers, others with a stronger footing look to mop up the best talent. The current hiring environment represents a good opportunity to test the waters and see what is available before January 2023, in what is traditionally a busy time in recruitment.

Additionally, there are many career paths and roles within the tech sector that remain quietly robust. For example, cybersecurity’s market value is expected to grow globally to $202 billion in 2023.

Unsurprisingly, demand for cybersecurity jobs has risen significantly over the past few years. More than one million cybersecurity jobs will be available next year, but less than 400,000 cybersecurity professionals will be trained by then — meaning opportunity knocks for those with existing skills.

So, if you’re thinking about a new job for 2023, we’re looking at five companies below which are currently hiring. And, you can browse the VentureBeat Job Board for thousands more opportunities too.
