Summary

Bending Spoons, a $21 billion company owning Eventbrite, Vimeo, and AOL, hired only 286 out of 800,000 job applications last year, demonstrating an acceptance rate significantly lower than Ivy League colleges. This trend reflects a broader tightening in the U.S. hiring market, particularly affecting entry-level Gen Zers, with other major companies also reporting extremely selective hiring processes.
