ResMed: What's the real deal with hiring freezes?

Been trying to get a role at ResMed for a couple of months now. Applied for several positions, and while the initial screenings went okay, it feels like things just stopped dead. My recruiter went silent, and when I followed up, I got a vague response about 'prioritizing internal candidates' and 'evaluating current needs'. This is more than just a standard hiring slowdown; it feels like a freeze. Is anyone else experiencing this? Are they not hiring externally at all right now? It's frustrating because the job postings are still up, but it seems like no one is actually being brought in. Curious if this is a broader company strategy or specific to the roles I'm looking at. Any inside info appreciated.
