I've applied to between 550-600 jobs since December and hardly heard anything back. The past two weeks recruiters started reaching out to me and at this point I'm at least having early round discussions with 5 companies. They're mostly smaller and somewhere in the health care space, but I went from virtually 0 to having something. Obviously it's early stages so you can't count on anything, but it looks like things may be picking up again.

If you're in Romania, my company is also hiring (or hired, may have stopped now).

We hired 3 people in less than a year. But applications were en masse. Most people were pretty dumb. I think we hired about 1 in 100 people. Applications closed within a week usually.

We were hiring in Spain and took way longer, and CV often looked better than the candidate, and we don't even do stupid shit like live coding or homework projects

I'd move to Romania about now.
