Hey recruiters, I've been noticing a dip in the amount and quality of available jobs. Have any of you noticed this? ... Has AI already started taking some of our jobs?

Yes positions are definitely drying up. Apparently it's the new normal to string out interviews to make employees take lower offers when they get one. Alongside over interviewing. The idea is now it may take 6+ months to get a job. Makes employees less likely to leave.

As an in house recruiter, I've never heard of this.

Lol

The truth is work will never be the same anymore. Sure new jobs will be created, but down the line they will also be replaced by automation. In earlier days when politics actually solved problems I would have been confident that we could make the best of it but its becoming clearer now that it may be impossible.

I saw something the other day about how at least one of the big holding companies is going to be hiring recruiters in the next couple of months. That’s the first step to things starting to get back to normal.

HR opinion: Do I have any leverage as a hospital nurse case manager in negotiating earned time? I have 15 years within the organization, left for 10 months to be remote during the pandemic while sorting out childcare as immunocompromised family helped. Now HR is restarting my ET as a new employee. I realize I left, but not on bad terms and I am an exemplar and respected employee. I thought I’d have the upper hand with the nursing shortage but I’m getting the “rules are rules” response. Help!?!

Hi Fishes,

I have given my interview in HCL and cleared 1 TP, 1 hcl manager & Client TP and Client Manager rounds .
In initial screening HR told the generic statement of 30-40% and I have given my ask as 50% minimum. After clearing the rounds I heard from the project team that Client has given great feedback and wanted to take me in .
What is the % I can ask in HR Discussion and will they reject in HR if I ask more now .
I have 9.5 years total experience and role is Storage Architect.
Thanks

Any tips for how to stand out when submitting resumes online to an F50? I have started sending my resume to in-house jobs and it’s hard to even get a response from most listings. I have tried being targeted (e.g., applying to in-house M&A roles and not just any in-house role) and adjusting my resume for particular listings (e.g., highlighting experiences of interest to the company). For a number of places, I have indicated that I am looking for a remote position, which is maybe a negative.

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews.

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.
