Curious if anyone has heard anything about hiring at CAT. My team has an open req that's been open for months now, and it feels like it's stalled. Not even getting updates on candidate status, which is unusual for us. I know some sectors are definitely seeing layoffs, but it's unclear if CAT is one of them or if we're just experiencing a slowdown in onboarding. Is this a company-wide thing, or specific to certain divisions? Wondering if it's an informal hiring freeze while leadership assesses the next few quarters, or if it's just the usual bureaucratic delays amplified. Also, anyone interviewing for roles at CAT right now? How's that process looking for you? Any info would be helpful to gauge the situation before I start updating my resume unnecessarily.

I've noticed a similar slowdown in my department over the past quarter. It's definitely impacting recruitment timelines, and the lack of communication on open roles is frustrating. We've had positions linger for much longer than usual, and the usual channels for quick approvals seem to have dried up. It's making it difficult to plan for team growth and fill critical skill gaps. Hoping it's a temporary situation and things pick up soon.
