Spoiler: pivots
With the hiring world melting down, how is unemployment still at 3.6%? And how are recruiting firms still alive?
- Tech-forward office dorks live in a bubble. We’re a tiny portion of the working population.
- Pivots.
I’ll pull back the curtains and focus on two of our specialized recruiting teams: Sales and HR recruiting.
Historically speaking, our Sales recruiting team focused on software/SaaS companies. Our HR team did the volume of their placements on internal recruiters. Not exclusively, but around 70:30 for both.
Today? Both teams are still busy. But here the 10 most recent new openings for each team:
Sales: Client Industry – Position

There’s still a lot of hiring. Just not where people were used to seeing it.
