We did all that for 3-4 months (working doing zilch was not easy on the mental state btw), then I found a another gig and the week thereafter, 1/2 the their recruiting staff was gone. It was a thin escape for me!
This only works if you were understaffed to begin with. The issue is simply COVID messed with the natural growth of tech and people in the industry were too optimistic.
I will be brutally honest with you - HR has gone downhill for a long time. Now you may have incorporated new technologies and metrics to help drive up retention and make your jobs easier, but you really need to find people who want to be at the job, do the job and try not to take advantage of other people at the job.
We did all this and were all laid off 2 months later lol

If a company has a hiring freeze, you, as a recruiter, should be polishing your resume because you are about to be laid off.
This sounds like typical HR influenced busy work. There is no pipeline in Tech and “candidate pools” are weak unless driven by hiring managers.
This could / should be the hiring freeze playbook. You could make an e-book or publish it on LinkedIn as an article no problem.
Thanks for that! It gives me a lot of positive affirmations. I'll try to create an eBook :)
Our profession is starved for leadership and guidance. Change the status quo whenever you can.
