I'd take that as time to jump before I'm pushed
For a large company that hires more or less nonstop it's not necessarily a bad sign. It's not even that unusual if your social media doesn't make it clear exactly where you work. If it were a small company, or the large company is hiring for my team specifically, and I didn't know we had a position open, I would be concerned.
Companies that hire non-stop are shitholes and terrible employers.
I double down on my statement.
That's fair enough, they are terrible for a lot of reasons. I just wouldn't take this as cause for particular alarm. The general and all-pervading unease of being a cog in a massive unconscious profit-maximizing metabeing is a separate but very good reason to seek a livelihood elsewhere.
Depends on the size of the company. If a company has 3000 employees in a job family, and 1% leave per year (due to retirement, personal life reasons, etc.), they need to hire more than a person every single working day just to keep the head count.
If a company has 3000 employees it needs to be broken up into smaller operating units.
A company like that will also have zero issue shrugging you off with 500 others without a care because they want to "pivot to AI" or some bullshit.
My company is hiring like mad. We're growing very quickly. And promoting almost everyone after a year or so. A wild ride.
Nice. So, um, what company? And do they allow remote workers?
My company is big enough to have multiple times my role and we have lost some of them recently. I definitely don't feel threaten by this lazy recruiter mistake.
