Sure, I'm referring to the H1B visa. Applications start on April 1st and usually end a day after (when the economy is good like this year). After they reach their quota the visa application shuts down until April next year.
So from January to March companies also look at candidates who need sponsorship. If you already have an H1B it doesn't count, this is only for new applications.
Though, this year Trump will change everything on April 3rd. Premium processing (15 days) will be stopped, which will make H1 visa transfers harder and more painful for companies. We're talking about a few months to transfer a visa from one employer to another. If you're an H1 holder, you will most likely be stuck with your current employer because companies will never wait a few months for you to start.
With that being said, in April the job market will settle down a little bit. Less candidates and maybe even more jobs out there.
