Anyone else seeing fewer external recruiters reaching out?

Lately, I've noticed a definite drop in the number of recruiters from other companies trying to poach me. This used to be a pretty constant stream, especially for senior roles in software engineering. Now, it feels like it's slowed to a trickle. Is this just a general market trend across tech, or does it perhaps hint at something specific happening within Adobe? Could companies be hesitant to hire right now, or are they more focused on internal mobility? I haven't seen any official layoff announcements, which is obviously good, but this decrease in external interest is a bit… noticeable. I'm wondering if this is a sign that other companies are also in a holding pattern, or if maybe Adobe's internal performance or future outlook is making external recruiters less interested in targeting us specifically. Would love to hear if others are experiencing the same thing, whether you're at Adobe or elsewhere in the industry. It feels like a subtle indicator of the broader economic climate affecting hiring.

I've seen a similar trend, though it's hard to pinpoint if it's Adobe-specific or a broader tech slowdown. The market feels a bit tighter lately, and companies might be prioritizing internal candidates or are just more cautious with their hiring budgets. It could also be that recruiters are shifting their focus to different skill sets or industries. It's definitely a noticeable change from a year or two ago when it felt like an endless stream of offers.

Could be a combination of things. The overall tech market has been volatile, and companies might be pulling back on external hiring to stabilize. Internal mobility is often a cost-effective solution too. It's also possible that the types of roles being prioritized have shifted, meaning recruiters are looking for different skillsets than they were before. Definitely makes you wonder what the long-term implications are.
