Do the public schools in Hong Kong only hire new native-speaking English teachers during August of each year? Or do they hire in the winter and/or spring as well?

Thanks ...

This topic comes up frequently - worth your doing a search I imagine.

But basically, the majority of NETs on the govt's NET programme (I presume that's what you're referring to) are hired during the summer and begin their jobs in late August at the start of the school year. However, some NETs are hired during the year due to drop-outs, unexpected vacancies, etc.
