One company that's poised to make a strong comeback from the pandemic is Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER). As COVID-19 cases subside, we're likely to see the return of commuting to the office, nights out, and business travel, which are all strong use cases for Uber.

The ridesharing company is hiring for a range of positions, including drivers, product managers, and software engineers, making the company an option if you're looking for a side hustle or a full-time tech job. According to ZipRecruiter, the company has nearly 200,000 job openings -- and that doesn't include Uber Eats.

It shouldn't be a surprise to find Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) on this list. In terms of revenue and employment, the company has grown faster than any other American company in the last generation. Amazon is now the second-biggest U.S. company behind Walmart in revenue and employees, and it finished 2021 with 1.6 million employees worldwide, a 24% increase from the year before.

Currently, the e-commerce giant is hiring for a wide range of jobs, including warehouse workers, delivery drivers, operations managers, and software engineers.

The company currently has 41,000 job openings, according to ZipRecruiter.

Springtime is the season when home improvement ramps up. Homeowners start tending to their lawns and garden, and home construction picks up. Naturally, it's the time of year when Home Depot (NYSE: HD) ramps up seasonal hiring.

The retail giant is currently hiring for positions like customer service, receiving, and merchandising in stores, and it also has remote positions open in jobs like cybersecurity, business analysis, and product management. The company's openness to remote work could make it good fit for applicants who don't want to relocate and are looking for the benefits of working remotely.

The company has nearly 14,000 openings listed on its website, and it has about 500,000 employees.

Walmart (NYSE: WMT) is the world's largest company by revenue and also the biggest private employer in the world, with 2.2 million employees, so it's not a surprising that the retailer is hiring.

Walmart has around 4,000 superstores across the country and has plenty of in-store positions available like cashier and pharmacist, but it's also hiring for corporate positions like software engineer and data analyst.

With stores spread around the country, there's a good chance a Walmart near you is hiring. The company has nearly 175,000 positions open, according to ZipRecruiter.

If you're looking for white-collar jobs, consulting giant Deloitte is a good place to start. The company is currently looking to fill nearly 40,000 positions, according to ZipRecruiter, including consultant, engineer, and cloud developer, and it added 25,000 openings in February alone.

The company has offices around the country. It's known for a rigorous interview process and tends to be a popular employer for business graduates and undergrads.

With the scales tilted toward job seekers these days, now may be a good time to look into working at a professional services firm like Deloitte, especially considering the number of openings it has.

Another white-collar business with the help wanted sign in the window is Capital One Financial (NYSE: COF), which posted 17,000 jobs in February, according to ZipRecruiter.

Among the jobs available are in software engineering, marketing, and user interface design. Capital One is still growing, even as it closes some branches, and is planning to expand in Atlanta, adding hundreds of new tech jobs there.

While rising interest rates are expect to cool off the economy, they tend to be a good thing for banks, which could make it worthwhile to search in the financial sector.

E-commerce has boomed over the past two years, bringing with it demand for warehouse workers and delivery drivers. So it shouldn't be surprising to find UPS (NYSE: UPS), which is the largest package delivery company in the world by revenue, on this list.

According to its website, UPS is hiring for approximately 3,000 positions overall, with nearly 2,000 full-time openings. Those include frontline jobs like delivery drivers and warehouse workers, but also high-tech positions like data science and user interface design.

Hiring at UPS tends to pick up around the holidays, which is its seasonally busiest time of year.

DoorDash (NYSE: DASH) was one of the big winners during the pandemic as millions of Americans turned to food delivery apps when dine-in restaurants were closed.

But DoorDash has continued to grow even as the normal trappings of pre-pandemic life have mostly returned, and the company is hiring. According to ZipRecruiter, the company has more than 31,000 jobs available across the country. While most of those are for delivery drivers, the company is also hiring in areas like sales, product design, and engineering -- a promising sign for its growth.

As the country's largest bank by assets, it shouldn't be a surprise that JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) is hiring across the country. The company has a wide range of roles open including teller, branch banker, salesperson, software engineer, and IT specialist. According to job search site Indeed, the bank is "urgently hiring" for 5,600 positions.

As a national bank, the company could be a good employer for those interested in the options for relocating and who want a corporate ladder they can move up.

Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ: ZM) is another company that thrived during the pandemic, but the videoconferencing platform is still hiring. In fact, according to Glassdoor, it's in the middle of a hiring surge. Not only that, but the company regularly ranks as a top employer on Glassdoor.

Among the jobs it's hiring for are in customer service, marketing, IT, and procurement.

According to Glassdoor, the company has 141 job openings. That may not sound like a lot, but tech jobs tend to pay well, and that seems like a lot of openings for a company with fewer than 7,000 employees.

With job openings near all-time highs and wages growing fast, now's a great time to pound the pavement and find a new job. Not only are companies hungry to hire new people, but the economy is changing rapidly, and the employment situation may not be as favorable in a year as it is now. Interest rates are already rising, which is expected to slow down economic growth, and the spending boom from multiple rounds of stimulus checks and other handouts is also fading away.

The list above is a good starting point, but there are hundreds of companies that are urgently hiring. Chances are one's a good fit for you.
