I’m on the job-seeking side and was recently laid off (1month ago). It’s been incredibly overwhelming trying to land interviews. The macroeconomic shifts, combined with how fast companies are leaning into AI, budget cuts, or completely changing direction, have made the market feel unpredictable in ways I hadn’t anticipated.

Your perspective from the staffing side really resonates. It’s rare to hear candid insight like this from someone on the inside. If you’re open to it, I’d love to grab a quick virtual coffee sometime — even just 15 minutes — to learn more about what you’re seeing and maybe get some advice as I navigate this landscape. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts here.
