job market is broken

I'm getting the same number of notifications through that I was getting a month ago but now most of the roles, when you follow the link, are showing as "This role is not available." or "Job does not exist."

More than one company (and no, I won't name the ones I've spotted) has closed recruitment. Their sites have gone from over 60 jobs available to none in the space of a couple of days.

This is understandable and reasonable (and why I'm not naming anybody). Facing an uncertain economy and the risk of needing to close or reduce staff numbers in various divisions and departments, avoiding hiring new staff makes a lot of sense for multiple business reasons.

There are still jobs out there, and companies hiring in particular people with experience and skills relating to cloud technologies, but the market overall is in a dire state.
