Anyone else notice the hiring freeze creeping in?

Hey all, been with Allegion for a few years now and lately, I've noticed a really weird vibe with new hires. Open positions seem to be staying open for ages, and even when I ask around, the answers are super vague. My manager keeps saying 'budget reviews' but it feels like more than that. Recruiters I know who used to be active here have gone silent. Anyone else seeing this on their teams or departments? Are we just not filling roles, or is it a full-on freeze? Trying to get a read on the situation before things get more serious.

Yeah, I've been getting a similar vibe. My department's been trying to backfill a critical role for nearly six months now, and every time we get close, it just… stops. The 'budget review' excuse feels thin when we're constantly being asked to do more with less. It's definitely impacting morale and workload. I'm not sure if it's a formal freeze or just a really slow, opaque hiring process, but it's not great. Curious to see if others have concrete examples or insights beyond the general 'budget stuff.'

Interesting to hear others are noticing this. My team hasn't seen any new hires in months, and a few planned positions were quietly shelved. While leadership is always talking about efficiency and optimization, it feels like they might be tightening the belt more broadly. I'd recommend focusing on what you can control – delivering strong results in your current role. If there are budget cuts, those who consistently perform tend to be more secure. Keep an eye on company-wide announcements, but don't panic just yet.
