The best time to apply for jobs is actually the end of the year, a tech recruiter says. Those companies are serious about hiring.

• Bonnie Dilber is a recruiting manager with 9 years of experience.
• She says if a company posts a job this time of year, they are serious about filling it.
• Dilber advises filtering job boards for recently posted roles as the applicant pools are smaller.

If you see a newly posted job this time of year, apply!

I'm a recruiting manager at a tech company, and I've been in recruiting for 9 years. One thing I can guarantee is that if a company posts a job this time of year, they are serious about filling it.

This means they are going to move quickly and prioritize a more efficient hiring process.
