The job markets are dead, just look at the last few months of layoffs across the board. First the Russian invasion and the resulting inflation plus the end of ZIRP, then the Trump tariff wars.
The job markets aren't dead, job boards are still full of opportunities. What's dead is the interaction between recruiters and candidates, and we can thank AI for that. For job boards, there's definitely opportunities to cut through the bullshit there, but it's a lot easier to get on the bandwagon than it is to say the train is headed for a wall.
That’s not a proxy anymore. In my corner, I keep seeing the same listings over and over again. Friends with hiring power have all sorts of stories, multiple reorganizations, budget cuts (and then a week later announcing record profits on earnings calls).
Companies are just not hiring. They need to say they are to keep investors on the hype (if you aren’t hiring you mustn’t be growing).
