Hiring Freezes

Hey monkeys,

been doing my fair share of networking recently to land an appraisal gig in CRE. Saw an opening for a position with one of the big IS sales firms (CBRE, C&W, JLL) and reached out to an MD of the office. The MD replied promptly and said that the firm was on a hiring freeze but to send her my resume. 
 

Is it normal for a job posting to go up yesterday and the MD fo say they’re on a hiring freeze? This is an entry level gig.

Ahh, okay I see now. I honestly thought I was being sort of lied too haha, but the MD actually got back to me saying my resume was "intriguing" so that's a +.
