My side I see it in a mixed state, some new teams, some reshuffle and some contractors being let go. I'll know for sure in Q1

What do you think is causing each?
Hiring often slows at year-end, but freezes usually ease in the new year. Planning now and staying ready gives you a head start when the market picks up again.
I hope so.
The two aren’t directly related. Certain teams at my company have been on a freeze well before the shut down started. Some teams are still hiring, especially contract roles.
But thanksgiving this week and Xmas/new years in 3 weeks. Onboarding a new hire when there’s really only 2-3 working weeks left in the year is pushing starts to the new year. Less of a conversation about a hiring freeze, more about not having resources to train or inboard a new hire when everyone’s out of office.
With that said, I anticipate new roles opening with new budgets and project starting in Q1…here anyway.
Overall market should ramp up in the 2H of the year imo

Is this true!? There are hiring freezes?
