Anyone in the UK here? What are your thoughts on the market now? I am getting quite a cold vibe from recruiters who normally call often. Is it bad? Just thinking if it’s something particular to my CV and my current situation…

I am not in the UK, but since August when I was laid off, the general job market is terrible in the US as well. I, too, tend to have a lot more activity from recruiters & could be employed within a few days pre-COVID.

I've been told that hiring companies are posting/reposting roles to have a large pool of candidates to pull from in the new year when roles open & doing so, avoids recruiter fees. Keep in mind that if other recruiters (or you) submitted your profile to companies, other recruiters generally aren't able to earn a finder's fee on submission to subsequent roles for 1 year afterwards. I've experienced several issues with LinkedIn quick-apply not sending my resume to companies & have shifted to direct application, without syncing my profile (as to avoid any discrepancies in content and chances for AI discard).
