Amid the coronavirus pandemic, much of your working life might feel uncertain right now. Maybe you're having to work from home for the first time, or have been temporarily furloughed. But if you're looking for a new job, things might feel even more complex, considering you're unable to go for interviews, or meet your potential colleagues.

New research from job recruitment website Glassdoor has revealed the companies that are having hiring surges right now - perhaps because business has increased due to coronavirus, or those that are increasing output right now.

Job seekers can also see companies that are experiencing hiring surges on individual job listings when they search by job title on Glassdoor.

Jo Cresswell, Careers Expert at Glassdoor, one of the world’s largest job and recruiting sites, comments: "Despite a sharp slowdown in the total UK jobs market, many companies across multiple industries are in fact ramping up hiring.

"To help connect people with the most timely and relevant job opportunities available right now, Glassdoor has created a raft ofnew features including a Hiring Surge badge which highlights companies with lots of roles to fill.

"Those that are looking for a new job during the COVID-19 pandemic should expect a markedly different job search and interview experience, as companies rely heavily on digital tools such as video interviewing and remote onboarding.

"While this may be overwhelming and somewhat off putting, perseverance and an open mind can make all the difference when it comes to successfully landing a new job."
