It's a lot of non technical people in the tech industry, trying to drive conversation about the overall direction of it. "Tech about to bottom out, jump shyt, lay offs are happening..."
LOL first off, you're recruiter...a "DE&I" one at that, of course if hiring is slowed, you'll be the first out the door. You ain't got shyt to recruit. They didn't lay off the software developer you found for them though.
Even with remote work, "oh it's about to end" or whatever else. There are companies who have shifted their IT operations to India and will Zoom all their accents into the daily meeting and do the same regularly with other positions.
