That doesn’t tell the full story:

Are you paying market rate? What roles were you hiring for? How many top quality candidates applied for your position?

I run a very small startup, and I too was hiring, albeit prior to this market correction. Even then, there was a plethora of candidates, and while most did not meet the hiring bar, one did.

I never said we had no applicants (that at least passed the resume screen) but simply that we now got a lot more applicants.

Most people aren't saying that we're looking at a 2001 situation (hopefully) in which many people leave the industry and a fair number of mid-career people never really get back on track. But most people also don't think this is a momentary blip. 2023 at least is likely to see longer and more selective hiring cycles and downward pressure on compensation. To the original point, I'd hesitate to leave a comfortable position at the moment.

Heard, chef; which is why I was curious for more details.
