What’s happening in your recruiting department in the downturn?

Are you cutting headcount in the department? Or, is your company slowing down the hiring of new recruiters, but not cutting existing recruiter jobs? Is your budget being cut or frozen?

Or, is it business as usual, and growth continues?

Post your thoughts.

    Here in Australia there has been significant downsizing of internal/RPO recruitment teams particularly withing Financial Services as one would expect. I would be really interested to hear from others in this regard – keen to see if other industries have been similarly affected. Or, whether there have been some organisations willing to look longer term and retain recruiters, either redeploying them (as other ERE articles have suggested) in view of the time when they will once again need their knowledge of the company when recruitment turns around.
