I noticed a sharp uptick in recruiters reaching out, but it’s been almost exclusively for 12-month contracts. Different from the 50/50 contract and salaried posts that would normally come up a while ago. For someone with 0 contract jobs on their LinkedIn work history I thought that was a bit odd.

(Canada, most of these contracts were for USA based companies)

We discovered the same thing while tracking every laid-off individual from Google to understand the story behind. Here's the summary:

- 747 out of the 2,762 laid-off Googlers have since updated their profiles to indicate a change of employment status in the last 4 months since November 2022.

- 56.7% of these people joined a tech company.

- 1/3 of these ex-Googlers joined startups.
