We’ve added another week of LinkedIn data to our tracker of hiring. Unfortunately, Y/Y hiring growth in the US is now negative. Many thanks to Brian Xu (with an assist from Michael Lombard) for building this incredible dataset. Also, for analysis of what this data means for the UK, France & Italy labor markets, please read this commentary by my colleague Mariano Mamertino: https://lnkd.in/g8ut3Gx

Sudden spike in the 1st week of March. Which sector? Healthcare? Factory workers?

And then it surfaces the question, what are recruiters and other HR professionals doing right now? What are the different skills, approaches, insights, creative tools, new reality tools, etc. that HR professionals (and all leadership) now need to use to be relevant? On boarding? Definition of "leave"? Unemployment compensation? Job description? Healthcare benefits? Organizational culture and engagement?

New jobs posted on the Indeed also decrease a lot.

This is really ugly. I’m so used to the happy LinkedIn news, that this graph is shocking.

This will change with upcoming reception thanks to Covid-19. Apply for a new position now, if you lost a job or the correct employer is cutting down stuff. Now you higher changes get a new position before the reception hits the button.

A month is a long time in job seeking. When at rock bottom things can only get better. It would be great to get a job before next year, or the year after that...
