Offcycle Hiring Slowdown?

Does anybody have insight into the current off-cycle hiring market? Seems like headhunters have sent out quite a few opportunities without anybody actually kicking off a process after a month. Heard from a friend that their company postponed their recruiting efforts by 6 months.

not advice - just what I do. Thanks for the comment will definitely look into it 

 

Yeah been super slow - had multiple coffee chats / intro calls earlier this month with confirmation I would receive a first round but nothing yet. I think there are a few funds going through processes right now but they seem drawn out. Also had a first round 2 weeks ago and was told I would get moved on but didn’t get follow up from HH until a few days ago for availability in a week. That’s about a month from 1st round to 2nd round right there. Similar experiences across peers I’ve talked to
