Is anyone else noticing a big shift in their hiring right now? Our job postings have been suddenly receiving unprecedented amounts of volume recently. I’m curious about what you all are experiencing within your roles and your thoughts on the current state of the market at the moment.

It’s a huge shift. I recently got laid off and it’s so hard to find another internal role

Which industries?

I assumed I was the only person who noticed. I have begun to notice multiple cryptic posts claiming that many workers have been let off for the last three days. I'm curious why this is the case.

Main reason is because the economy is tanking!

like

Yes! I think everyone who thought the economy would be up forever and they could continue job hopping has found themselves still looking....

Yes. This is due to several mass employee reduction and anxious employees who were so afraid that their company might close anytime. So they've been jumping companies to secure positions.

Yes we have had a HUGE shift. Even in the last couple weeks thins have gotten crazy. i think so many companies are doing layoffs that everyone is in the market for a new role right now.

Yeah, we've seen an uptick but with so many layoffs happening at major companies, I guess this should expected

Layoffs are a big reason for it. Are you fully remote? That might be another reason

I’m not a recruiter, but have been in corporate got years. It’s going closer to the end of the fiscal year for most companies. Hiring freezes and layoffs are a simple way for companies to get the financials /profit up and make investors happy for the year. Aug -Nov is all about trimming down expenses and balancing the next year’s budget for most corporate companies. Unfortunately it’s nothing new, just have to make it through off your plan on staying in corporate world.

Yes! Hiring for a Software Sales position recently and had 300+ applicants — definitely unprecedented for us. It’s been a tough market with lots of layoffs and uncertainty which is causing a lot of people on the market.

I had my phone screen on Friday afternoon with the hiring manager. He told me he did 4 phone screens this week including mine and has 2 more this week. He told me the next step would be a second phone interview and then the Loop. I sent a thank you note afterwards. How soon after your phone screen were you told that you were moving forward in the process?

Completed a process for a position about 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard back. They indicated it would be a lengthy turnaround given they are setting up a new fund and building the team top down. Would it be rude to ask for a timing/process update? Driver of me wanting to push is I have moved far along in another process and don’t think I’ll have much time to decide. The slower moving opportunity is more attractive to me but there would likely be one more round there to complete.
