Are firms and in-house REALLY hiring right now? I see roles I’ve applied to “reposted” or I am ghosted by recruiters. Feel stuck at my current role and can’t get out.

Many company’s post open positions because state law requirements. Also, since many layoffs recently, depends on practice, you might have to compete with hundreds or even thousands of candidates for one position. That makes extra process extra hard. And of course, there are many unethical recruiters taking fully advantage of candidates now because they know certain candidates are “desperate” to leave current job. I received tons of messages from recruiters daily asking to schedule a call ASAP re new positions, but when I really responded them to ask details, no response at all.

I’m in-house. I know we don’t have a hiring freeze but know we’re doing the most with a lean staff.

Don't be afraid to use your network. I saw a job post on LinkedIn where a connection worked. Reached out to the connection and I received a response from HR the same day to schedule an interview.

Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.
