I've noticed a similar vibe here too. We had a few roles open up last quarter and the hiring process felt much more deliberate and drawn out than usual. Recruiters were definitely less communicative, and the 'budget review' excuse seemed to be the standard response. It's hard not to get a little antsy when things go quiet like this, makes you question the stability a bit.
Interesting you bring this up. My experience hasn't been quite as dramatic, but I have seen a definite shift. Where before it felt like positions were being filled relatively quickly, now there's a longer lead time. It could just be a seasonal thing or a strategic reallocation of resources, but the lack of transparency is certainly noticeable and leads to speculation.
