Tech recruiter Ashley Guccione has applied to at least 200 jobs since learning her contract with Google would end.“They had no work for us essentially,” says Ashley Guccione, a 31-year-old tech recruiter who was told this month by the staffing agency she worked for that Google no longer needed her. Ms. Guccione, who recruited software engineers for Google for about two years, says she went from screening multiple job candidates a day to “virtually nothing” in recent months.
“These recruiting roles are being swallowed up very fast because there’s hundreds, if not thousands, of applicants at a time,” she says. The advertised salaries for those jobs, she adds, average around 25% lower than what she was earning with Google. The current boom-bust cycle has been especially extreme, says Julia Pollak, chief economist at hiring platformFlush with work for much of the last decade, recruiters got even busier over the past two years. Meta and other companies bet big that the pandemic surge in consumer online activity would continue at the same clip and tried to scoop up even more tech talent.
The recruiters who’ll be staying on are likely to be busier than ever, she adds, since companies still need to fill jobs when people leave. “Companies that do lay off lots of recruiters are very quickly going to find themselves with not enough recruiters just to replace turnover,” she says.Layoffs among recruiters are making job searches harder for other tech workers.
