As the end of the year approaches, are many people already in “vacation eve laying down mode”, thinking that the recruitment market will also go into hibernation? After all, this is the time of year when many companies do slow down the pace of recruiting, especially with the Christmas, New Year's Day and Chinese New Year holidays approaching, and recruiting is often postponed until the new year. However, this year is different!
At the end of this year, globally recognized companies such as Amazon, Meta, and NVIDIA have released their hiring plans for the class of 2025 for freshmen and interns, showing strong growth in the number of positions and demand.
Amazon: significant growth in hiring, positions across multiple sectors
Amazon has released its recruitment plan for the Class of 2025 freshers, with a 15% increase in the number of positions over last year. These positions not only cover a variety of departments such as technology, products and operations, but also involve cutting-edge fields such as cloud computing and big data, which are very attractive.
Meta: 20% expansion, strong demand for AI and data science
Meta released its hiring plan for the class of 2025 for freshmen and interns in November, and expects hiring to increase by more than 20% over last year. In particular, data science, AI and front-end development positions are in high demand. As Meta continues to invest in technology innovation, related positions are attracting a large number of fresh graduates and interns.
NVIDIA: Demand for AI and GPU technology positions surges
As the world's leading AI technology company, NVIDIA launched its 2025 fresh graduate and intern recruitment program for the first time in October 2023, with positions covering a number of popular fields such as AI algorithms, hardware development, and data analysis. In particular, the demand for GPU-related technical positions has increased significantly, attracting a large number of technical talents.
Why is recruitment at the end of the year more “hot”?
Although the end of the year seems to be a “cold winter” for the recruitment market, it is actually a “spring in the winter” for talent recruitment. This is especially true this year, and here are a few key reasons why:
Early Layout: Large technology companies usually start recruiting at the end of the year, especially for technical positions, in order to plan ahead for next year's technology attacks and market expansion. Many companies have recognized that recruiting talent and reserving technical strength in advance is crucial for subsequent project advancement.
Strong market demand: In 2024, the continued boom in AI, big data, and cloud computing has led to an urgent need for many companies to replenish their technical talent. These positions usually require fresh graduates and interns to be able to get up to speed quickly and directly participate in the development and landing of projects.
Talent pool planning: Large companies have long-term planning for their future talent pool. Especially Meta, NVIDIA and other companies, as early as the end of the year will start the recruitment of freshers, to ensure that the coming year can have sufficient technical force, to avoid the shortage of manpower to avoid affecting the business development in 2024.
How to seize these end-of-year recruitment opportunities?
Prepare in advance to seize the first opportunity: Most of the recruitment opportunities at the end of the year belong to the “advance card position”, the earlier you prepare, the more you can seize the first opportunity. Don't wait until the beginning of the year to start looking for a job, but act early and plan ahead.
Optimize your resume and project experience: When updating your resume, highlight your internships, project experience, and relevant skills, especially technical skills related to the position you are looking for, so that you can demonstrate your strengths in a concise, precise, and powerful way.
Be well-prepared for interviews: When facing interviews with big companies, be sure to prepare common interview questions, algorithmic questions and technical questions in advance. Through mock interviews and practicing algorithmic questions, you can improve your interview pass rate and increase your chances of success.
Although the end of the year may seem to be the “off-season” for hiring, it is an important window of opportunity for prepared job seekers. Top companies such as Amazon, Meta, NVIDIA, and others have opened up recruitment and internship opportunities for freshers in 2025. Get ready to seize the opportunity and get yourself an exciting career start!
