I was let go about two months ago and at times been applying and at times not as much. Im trying to get back to it and noticing that um…where there maybe used to be 200 job postings within my parameters…there’s about a NINETY percent drop in jobs available?!? Im on indeed btw.
Now, maybe thats due to checking yesterday (Monday), but Im checking this today and its not really that much better AT ALL. Usually Tuesday is when more roles are posted on/by.
Im aware the job market has been wonky for a while (Im not oblivious) but it was literally NOTHING close to this like a month ago. This is kind of terrifying and sobering as hell to see.
Is anyone else seeing the same? This seems absolutely insane.
Just trying to verify if its maybe me/something Im doing or if others are seeing the same VERY low numbers? Like where I maybe saw close to 200 positions open, Im not seeing like 25 or 10 MAX.
On top of that, company posts a job on Tuesday and closes it by Thursday night. I once prepared an application and boom it was gone before I could apply. Has that always been the case?
Even when promoting an internal candidate to a new job, a corporation may still be compelled by law to post the vacancy publicly in certain instances or industries. In my experience, the smallest timeframe during which they can post is occasionally three days.
I’m on the hiring side of this market right now, and 3 days is an eternity for a posting to be up… We had our listing up for 5 hours and got 230 applicants. We closed the application after that. Even after sending the initial code test to 20 applicants, we still had 7 people that were in good shape for the position.
It’s a really competitive market right now, and with Amazon’s soft-layoffs, it’s going to be even tougher.
