Amex - Is hiring slowing down or is it just me?

Hey everyone, been keeping an eye on the external job postings for Amex, and it feels like there's been a noticeable slowdown compared to, say, 6 months ago. A lot of the roles that were open seem to be filled or closed, and fewer new ones are popping up, especially in some of the tech/data areas. Has anyone else in recruiting or hiring manager roles seen this? Or is it just my perception? Normally Amex feels pretty active, but lately it's been quieter than usual. Wondering if this is a sign of belt-tightening or just a seasonal lull. Curious to hear what others are seeing on the ground.

I've been seeing something similar, actually. I'm not in recruiting, but I do work with a few teams that have been trying to backfill positions. It definitely feels like the pace has changed. There's less urgency, and some roles that were open for a while have just disappeared. It might just be a seasonal thing, or maybe they're reassessing priorities internally. Hard to say without being on the inside, but your observation aligns with what I've noticed from the outside.

Interesting point. From my perspective, it feels like a shift towards more internal mobility and potentially fewer net new hires. Companies are often optimizing their workforce, and sometimes that means filling existing gaps internally before opening up new external searches. It could also be that they're being more selective with their hiring, focusing on very specific skill sets rather than broad recruitment. Worth keeping an eye on those internal job boards too if you're looking to make a move.
