Anyone else notice a freeze on external hiring?

Hey folks, been at Jacobs for a few years now, primarily in the engineering sector. Lately, I've noticed a significant slowdown, bordering on a halt, in external job postings. It feels like the recruitment pipeline has just dried up over the last month or so. I've been keeping an eye out for roles in other departments for potential internal moves, and even those seem scarce. It's not just me, right? A few colleagues have mentioned it too, feeling a bit of an odd quietness around hiring. There's no official word, no announcements, but the lack of new faces or even advertised positions is starting to feel... deliberate. Is this a general market trend, or is Jacobs specifically tightening things up? Curious if anyone else in different divisions or locations are seeing the same thing. Feels a bit unsettling when you don't have clarity on what's happening behind the scenes. Anyone have any insights or heard any whispers?

Yeah, I've been seeing the same thing. Been working in project management here for a while, and the usual buzz of new external requisitions just isn't there. It's definitely noticeable. Makes you wonder if there's a broader strategic shift happening internally or if it's just a seasonal lull. Either way, it's a bit concerning for those of us looking to bring in fresh talent or even considering a move ourselves. Hope it picks up soon.

Definitely not just you. I'm on the West Coast, in a technical role, and my team has had approved requisitions sit dormant for weeks now with no movement on interviews or offers for external candidates. We're feeling the pinch too. It's creating some internal strain as we're stretched thin. Curious if this is a company-wide freeze or specific to certain divisions. Anyone have insight?
