Any insights on recent hiring freezes or slowdowns at Vertex?

Hi everyone, I'm seeing a lot of open requisitions that have been 'under review' for weeks now, and some teams seem to be putting a pause on backfills. It's not a huge deal yet, but it's definitely a change from how things have been. Anyone else notice this across different departments? We've had such a strong growth trajectory for a while, so this shift feels noticeable. Trying to understand if this is a strategic pivot or just a temporary belt-tightening. No specific layoff rumors, but the hiring environment has definitely changed. Would appreciate any intel from recruiters or managers who might have visibility on this.

I've noticed the same on my team. What used to be a quick turnaround for approvals is now taking significantly longer. Hiring managers seem hesitant to initiate new requisitions, even for critical roles. It's creating some bandwidth issues, and I'm also wondering if this is a sign of a broader strategic shift within Vertex or just a temporary pause to reassess priorities. Hoping for some clarity soon as it does impact workflow and morale.

Yeah, the extended review periods for open roles are definitely a thing. It's not just your department; it seems to be a company-wide trend. While there's no talk of layoffs, the slowdown in hiring and backfilling is palpable. It's a departure from the aggressive growth we've experienced. I'm curious to see if this leads to more internal mobility or a sharpened focus on existing projects. It's certainly a different atmosphere than a year ago.
