I don’t think you need to hide it. It can come to your advantage because the recruiters see you as an immediate joiner.

You don't need to divulge it openly either. They might not expedite your process as you are available. They would give preference to other candidates first and then circle back to you.

Also, might lowball you on salary.

Bring it up only if required.

Should I admit to the recruiter, that i got laid off

Recently i got laid off. Now that i start appearing for interviews should i make it explicit i was laid off and i am ready to join immediately. Or should I state something else as the reason of a break that might be there post 1st April ?
