Featured in Fast Company written by Arianne Cohen — March 3, 2020 — A new report from ON Partners helpfully narrows down where to look in three major U.S. tech hubs, based on recent job growth:
BAY AREA: 27,500 NEW TECH JOBS LAST YEAR
- Companies that hired the most: Google, Facebook, Apple, Oracle, Amazon, Adobe, Salesforce, Airbnb, Workday, VMware
- Smaller companies showing big hiring growth: Instacart, Robinhood, Snowflake Computing, TripActions, Flexport, Asana, Affirm Inc., Credit Karma, Rubrik, Bill.com

But it’s still strong, clocking in at 9%-11% growth for the year. Hiring is expected to stumble a bit this quarter due to COVID-19.
