hiring spree

Mass employment push

A hiring spree is a period of rapid, aggressive recruitment—a company or industry bringing on many new employees in a short time.

The phrase suggests enthusiasm bordering on excess, like a shopping spree: Tech giants went on a hiring spree during the pandemic boom.

Often followed by layoffs when conditions change.
