Yeah, I've definitely felt a shift in the last quarter or so. Getting headcount approved has been a real uphill battle, and the timelines for recruitment seem to be stretching out considerably. It's not just my team either; I've heard similar anecdotes from colleagues in different areas. It's making planning for future projects a bit more challenging when you can't rely on getting the necessary talent in a timely manner. Hopefully, it's a temporary situation.
Interesting you bring this up. I haven't experienced a hard freeze, but the process for bringing in new folks has certainly become more arduous. There's a lot more scrutiny on each req, and it feels like the bar for approval is higher. Plus, some of the roles that were open for a while have just been closed without much explanation. It's creating some uncertainty, and I'm curious to see how long this period lasts.
