Which tech firms hired the most last year? According to The Information, the companies that increased head count % the most were Zoom (+74%), Amazon (+63%) and Twilio (+59%).

A few cybersecurity firms (Crowdstrike and Cloudflare) and work productivity firm Atlassian round out the top 6.

These hiring sprees come as the entire tech sector saw employment fall by 1.5% from February 2020 highs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

On an absolute scale, Amazon dwarfed everyone. The ecomm giant added 500k global employees — or, per The Information, “113 Zooms.”
