State of the current job market

Hi all,

This has been tackled indirectly in other posts. Glad to have your view on current state of job market / recruitments per region and vertical.

Would be interesting to hear from people who were there at that moment - how it compares to 2007/8 job markets, and how long it took to recover.

And have a good week-end ;)
