Yeah, I've definitely felt a similar chill. My team's been putting in requests for new hires for months and we're still in limbo. The usual fast turnaround on contract roles has evaporated, too. It's unnerving, for sure. Makes you wonder if there's a broader shift happening behind the scenes with spending. Hoping it's just a seasonal dip, but the extended nature of this feels different.
Interesting you bring this up. We've also noticed a slowdown on the contracting side. Positions that would typically be filled within weeks are now sitting open indefinitely. Recruiters are being a lot quieter, and the usual flow of new opportunities has definitely dried up. It's creating a bit of uncertainty for everyone involved, and people are definitely talking about it.
