A lot of people are job hunting, more than usual in tech due to layoffs.

Job hunts are stressful enough on their own, but much more so during the holidays. Unfortunately, companies' usually poor hiring comms drop to near zero this time of year, causing even more stress to job seekers

If you're hiring, PLEASE tell applicants if you won't realistically get to reviewing apps until the new year.

One little email is all it takes. It's respectful and it can reduce stress for your applicants.
