I’m being flooded with recruiters asking me to meet saying the market is very active. What active?? I’m looking around seeing sad faces toiling to near death of exhaustion, no one is daring to move/change jobs. What’s your perspective, is it really picking up?

Market is active, but severely underpaid roles.

So you evaluate a job opportunity for yourself based on what other’s are doing? People got jobs during the Great Recession as well. Have you considered talking to the supposed recruiters who are flooding you and figure out if any of those opportunities are appealing to you? “Daring to”? Lmao

People are getting jobs and they are getting higher pays every days. It might not be as much as it was few years back, but it’s not like people are sitting in their houses in a bubble wrap.

This is an absurd post.

Recruiters got to recruit to get paid. They will look for candidates and lead them on even if the market is poor to justify their paycheck.

And companies are strategically hiring quality talent with low offers to take advantage of the market.

Automated reach outs thanks to OpenClaw and other automations are rising.

Scams are also rising. Always ask for a verifiable company email before sending anything. If they ghost you know it’s a scam.

Always check their profile. Has it been around for a while? Are there any posts or reposts? A credible history? Etc.

Thanks y’all. I must say the pay ranges discussed is nowhere as bad as their group make it sound so far

What kind of recruiters are reaching out? I have a ton of recruiters reaching out for the same roles at IPPs every single day. The same ones will also send multiple messages about said roles using different verbiage as though they never sent the first 4-5 messages to begin with. It is not well coordinated and seems very chaotic.

Actually pretty serious roles and phone discussions. Had me sign ndas before sharing details which i found makes it more real. Haven’t been tricked - yet - into BS

Where are you connecting with these recruiters?

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in. I do see a few new projects come in every week but I’m not getting staffed on them. Should I be worried? Should I ask my PM if I should be worried? We’re in a pretty small group less than 20 people
