I was hearing that there was a hire freeze with no timetable of when things will open back up. The agency that hired told me that full time positions are hold but I'm seeing jobs still being posted on Linkedin.

@ww that's discouraging. They love to waste people's time knowing they're hiring internally.
Had an panel interview in September didnt get the role because it was given to an internal. Friend of mine is in hiring process now with panel interview next week and projected start date this month.
@px is right but effectively from someone trying to get a job there that super low number of about 10 might as well be a full hiring freeze.
There is never a full hiring freeze, that would be incredibly disruptive to business. What there is in place is a system where position approvals are limited to a very small number each period (~10 per VP org) and so they have to pick and choose which roles they really can't live without.
Know people who were on final panel
Interviews beginning of the year and never heard back only to hear about a freeze months later
If you wanted to see what jobs are posted, could you just save a search query and have it email you when new jobs are posted?
For a specific location? Or maybe even for a specific key word? And could you leave it on for months and months in a row?
And then could you just use AI to summarize what is posted where based on those automated emails in your inbox?
Could you also summarize what jobs stop being posted exactly three days after being posted, with the inference that they were a feigned opening that already had a candidate pre selected?
Could you then compare and contrast how many roles are real… vs the ones that are only opened for a prescribed minimum amount of time?
Not sure if the exact thing above could work or not to answer the OP’s question about what roles are actually getting posted… and or if they are removed after a certain period… or to determine the legitimacy of posted roles, or the frequency of how often a certain band level is posted, or the likelihood that certain band levels are only posted for a specific interval vs an actual competitive process.
@de nepotism, of course
Oh that’s only for critical functions, we don’t hire for those. All other teams will continue to hire because they’re clearly adding value, and revenue.
Not true. Close friend just started a new job today. New roles open and hiring… just not in tech
Every SINGLE year
This has been the case for like the last 20 years at Nike….
hiring freeze or let’s call it a “slow down” before fiscal year end.
Not saying it doesn’t have more effect currently of course just normal.
@OP that's normal, if they don't do that then investors would loose faith. No one is being hired aside from insourcers.
TLDR It's a finance thing
There’s a freeze while plans for next year are sorted out. Critical backfills would be a rare exception
