Anyone Else Notice Hiring Freezes/Slowdowns?

Curious if anyone else has observed a noticeable slowdown in hiring or even a soft hiring freeze across different departments at Vertex recently. I've noticed fewer new requisitions popping up, and some roles that were open for a while seem to have gone quiet. This isn't necessarily a direct layoff announcement, but it's often an early indicator of caution. Has anyone heard anything internally about budget reviews or strategic adjustments that might be impacting recruitment? Trying to gauge if this is a company-wide trend or just specific teams. Any unofficial chatter or observations would be helpful. Stay safe everyone.

Yeah, I've definitely seen a similar trend. It feels like things have tightened up considerably over the past few months. There's a sense of people being more hesitant to open new roles, and even existing ones are moving at a snail's pace. It's making it tough to get new projects off the ground when you can't get the headcount. Hoping it's just a temporary pause for strategic review and not a sign of bigger issues down the line. Makes you wonder what the internal discussions are like right now.
