Recruiting activity seems as strong as ever but the pipeline is clogged, apparently from FOHI (Fear Of Hiring Incorrectly), so everyone is churning through tons of candidates looking for unicorns. Perhaps this is due to worries that hiring freezes are coming and if you hire wrong, you'll be stuck with a worthless resource that can't be replaced with a good one. Then again, if they wait too long, the freeze might come anyway before they have someone in place.
