What is going on with the recruiting market?

Just trying to understand.

I am a senior technical partner for a very big company, handling 20 to 30 reqs on average, direct line to stakeholders. VP level and high level IC hires.

Been here for 3 years, previous to this I was at a 3rd party agency where I handled startups all the way to enterprise accounts, average req load was around 20. All of this on the technical side

I’ve been recruiting for 13 years and only have these two companies I have recruited for.

Have done everything from AI to aerospace, software engineering, product, infra, cloud, data and security.

Despite this I can’t get an interview anywhere. Rejected within hours to positions that I would seemingly be a very good fit for. Just to see these same positions reposted week after week online.

Anyone dealing with this? I’m open to tweaks and suggestions and I really would love to explore something new.

What do I do?

I am a senior recruiter on the technical side. A month ago we put in an RTO announcement for headquarters which is a small city in Alabama. The technical talent is pretty small and nobody is willing to relocate, our pay is also not that great. Understandably it has not been great recruiting.

Before the roles were fillable with remote status but now managers are seemingly not willing to budge at all on any of their requirements which was annoying before and now seemingly impossible. Despite that we are such a huge company there is the mindset that people should desire and jump over glass to come work for us.

Leadership doesn’t seem to care and a few have already left.

What do I do? I’ve been looking for new jobs, but am getting rejected for positions I am seemingly overqualified for, 12+ years of experience, IT, engineering, Corporate, and a robotics.

Anyone been in a situation like this?
