Is there any way to connect to recruiters if you think you might get laid off but don't want to move if you don't? It would be nice to be preemptively visible in case the worst happens.

I wouldn't see the harm in making connections and testing the waters. The job market is awful right now, so competition is tough. You should at least know what you're dealing with if you do get laid off.

Maybe try the recruiter fishbowl. My guess is “no,” especially if you tell them that. It is a waste of their time to do anything now, if you would reject everything until you get fired.

Now, maybe you are underpaid. You could talk with them about salary, and maybe they would find it useful, if you would take a job that pays more. You could then expand the search for lower salary amounts if you get fired.

So…you want to be unemployed while looking for a new job?

If I don't get laid off I'll stay here for at least three more years.
