Instead of looking at layoffs, should look at the net of hires and departures (both voluntary and involuntary) to see where things stand. In more than a few places, natural attrition often isn't rehired, which will tighten the labor market.
Anecdotally, far fewer recruiter mail messages as well. It may not be 'recessionary', but it isn't a rapid hiring environment either.
- icedchai 3y agoSame. Plus many of the ones I get are for "hybrid" situations 100's of miles away. Did these recruiters even look at my profile?
- ineedtosleep 3y agoThe vast majority of the time the answer is no. I've even had recruiters contact me assuming I was with a company I left 2 years ago -- a company that no longer exists.
- Jare 3y agoA friend started his profile with a very visible "if you are a recruiter contacting me for a job I will mock your attempt in public". It was a bit cringey, but proved the point that many recruiters didn't look.
- Michelangelo11 3y agoRight. Yes, the mass layoffs are over, but nobody seems to be hiring en masse.

- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoThe report this article is based on seems to say as much. From the article: > "The Tech Job Recession is Over," the Bernstein analysts declared in a recent email to clients. "Tech layoffs have slowed to a trickle. When will the hirings start to reaccelerate?"
- binarymax 3y ago"Anecdotally, far fewer recruiter mail messages as well" Anecdotally for me, I know several recruiters that were the first to be laid-off. So, even if tech jobs are back, there may be a case of nobody being left to run the recruiting.
- Tade0 3y agoI can tell you where all these jobs went - here - east of the 14th meridian east. At least that's where Amazon, Google and Netflix have been hiring for the past few months.
