SLB - Anyone else noticing a hush on new roles opening up?

I've been keeping an eye on openings at Schlumberger for a while now, and it feels like the tap has been turned down to a trickle lately. Not just for my specific discipline, but generally across the board from what I've seen. It's not like there were mass layoffs announced, but this feels like a proactive measure, maybe a hiring pause or a significant slowdown in backfilling positions. Anyone else in a similar boat, either actively looking or just observing the internal job boards? Wondering if this is a company-wide strategy or if it's concentrated in certain divisions. Curious about the thought process behind it – is it a sign of caution, an attempt to streamline, or something else entirely? Looking for any intel from those closer to the hiring process or internal planning.

I've noticed a similar trend. It's definitely quieter than it used to be. I'm not sure if it's a full hiring freeze or just a strategic shift to consolidate existing teams and resources. The industry can be cyclical, so it might just be a temporary lull before things pick up again. Keep your eyes peeled, though – sometimes opportunities arise when you least expect them, especially during slower periods.

Yeah, I've seen that too. It's a bit concerning when you're looking for a move. It could be a sign of them tightening their belts, perhaps due to market conditions or internal restructuring. I've heard whispers of some departments being consolidated. Hopefully, it's just a short-term pause and not a sign of bigger issues. It's worth monitoring closely.
