Is the job market bad right now. As a recruiter, when do you think more opportunities will open up?

likehelpful

Do you think accounting is a field in which networking and making connections is prevalent? or important? I have friends in the creative industry as well as in the IT sector who have either gotten greater opportunities at work or got an entirely new job solely because of the contacts they made along the way .... but I don't see that culture in this space. At least not in the world that I've known. Does anyone have thoughts about this?
