Teleflex: Anyone else feeling the pinch with hiring freezes/slowdowns?

Been trying to get a new role filled on my team at Teleflex for a few months now, and it's been an absolute slog. Approvals are taking forever, and it feels like every open req is under extreme scrutiny. Heard whispers from a few managers that there's an informal hiring freeze in place, or at least a significant slowdown across most departments. My recruiter contact has also been unusually quiet. Is this just a seasonal thing, or is anyone else experiencing this across different divisions? Feels like the budget tightening is starting to impact headcount directly, which is never a great sign for stability. Anyone have any intel on what's going on?

Yeah, I'm definitely seeing the same thing. It's been incredibly frustrating trying to get new hires onboarded. What used to be a few weeks for approvals is now stretching into months, and even then, it's a constant battle to get sign-off. I've had candidates withdraw offers because the process took so long. It's making it really tough to keep projects moving forward and meet deadlines. I'm hoping this is just a temporary lull, but it's hard to say.

I can echo this sentiment. My department has been trying to backfill a critical role for over six months. The hiring manager is frustrated, the potential candidates are getting impatient, and HR seems swamped or restricted. I've heard the same 'slowdown' talk, and frankly, it's impacting morale. Team members are picking up the slack, and it's not sustainable. Wondering if leadership is re-evaluating budgets or strategy, as this feels like more than just typical seasonal hiring fluctuations.
