I think the recruitment industry themselves kicked off the whole "great resignation". By promoting the idea that employees are going to resign, it forces employers to quickly get into "recruitment mode" - as we all know, recruitment takes time (and money). Better be prepared! Since there is now an abundance of job adverts, and hype, employees who previously were _not_ thinking about changing roles are now considering it. Employees get higher wages and the recruitment industry gets a boost.
