Is the job market bad right now. As a recruiter, when do you think more opportunities will open up?

I’m a talent manager at PwC. There are multiple factors that are hurting recruitment, especially at the staff & senior lvls. One being budget pressure which is pushing our engagement teams to offshore as much work as they can to India. Second is the current political administration and economic outlook. Not a good time to be at a junior level in the big 4. Campus recruitment has also dropped significantly, mostly due to offshoring work.

@M1 and SM1 I’m an internal auditor and am already seeing this approach take hold with our KPMG external audit team. They’re bringing in less staff each year and we’re getting an increase of poor follow up questions getting thrown over the fence at us that are obviously getting passed along directly from an off shore team :/
Audit quality on really material and complicated areas is still high but the smaller parts of the audit definitely aren’t getting the attention they used to. Just seems like there will be less staff and senior positions available in the US.

Your jobs have been outsourced to India also. They are hiring recruiters there.

Have any of you taken "low bono" clients while working at a firm? I want to take on a low bono client or two but not sure who would get the money. This is a contract opportunity through a non profit so I'm assuming a 1099 will be issued. The per hour rate is significantly less than my billable rate. I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.
