There is no hiring freeze.
The fact is that Cisco basically doesn't like people joining from other tech companies.
WRONG. Most of the management above me are hire-ins. Many of them were in Cisco in a previous life, and bounced out to a competitor and back, gaining 2-3 grades in the process.

One of my teams just hired an impacted employee last week
There is not a hiring freeze, no.
Job postings will be, you can apply to them but you wont get a response. Look elsewhere, mate. A new round of LR will be announce tomorrow Feb 15th.
