Seeing something I haven’t seen in my professional career of only 6 years during this most recent job search - Instead of rejection emails, I’ve received about 5-6 emails notifying me that the position I applied for was cancelled/eliminated. I also went 3 rounds into an interview with RSM before they decided to pause and reassess their hiring needs. Just a small datapoint which tells me things are starting to deteriorate further in the job market.

Yup, fake jobs.

I've been seeing the same thing. I have had two instances now where I have gone through a phone interview and then two in-person interviews only to be told they are holding off on filling the position. It's frustrating because I'm a struggling single mom with 2 teenagers at home depending on me. The travel to the interviews alone is costly. I'm highly qualified for the positions, and the interviews were very productive and "comfortable". One company even sent me their benefits via email the day after the second interview (I did not request them either).

It’s been known for months on the economic networks and data points, even when they said jobs were growing: white collar jobs were not growing. It started near the beginning of the year, likely only to reverse if rate cuts happen on a larger scale than just a quarter %, which is what should and likely will happen. Should not be a surprise

A possibility (from experience on the hiring side) is if numbers are soft, leadership pulls the requisition, or pauses finalizing hires. I saw this at my last firm. A potential transaction such as merger or PE investment can also stop some jobs from being filled as there may be new people to deal with in a merger to fill the role or in the case of PE suddenly a giant interest bill means things are getting tighter on hiring and every other area.

That’s a lot of cancellation emails. I just can’t see blaming this on anything but fishing around to see what’s out there? Seems like anything else, like pulling jobs due to something or another, is just plain bad management making bad decisions based on bad information.
