I have been recruiting for my team for two months now and the pool of active candidates out there is thinner than I have ever see in it in the last 30 years. These positions are typically highly desirable... white collar tech job at a A-list tech company doing cool cutting edge stuff with great pay and benefits... normally when I post a job like this I get flooded with resumes and i cherry pick the best candidates. This time I got a few resumes on the first few days and then... nothing. Literally no one is applying. What's going on? is everyone really content to cash stimulus and unemployment checks even though the salary range in question is way over those amounts? Is it really true that no one wants to work anymore? I had been recruiting in just Canada but now I have opened it up to a global search and I am still seeing shit for applications.

If this is what the labor market is like everywhere then the global economy is FUCKED.

Every metric you've used to find new candidates is out the window now. Irrelevant. Dollar per hour? Ha...don't waste my time. You know the meme "If only you understood how bad it really is"? Yeah, it's not a meme any more..."normmies" are finally figuring out how bad it really is.

As awesome as you might be personally, your job is viewed as part of the system, and NO ONE wants to work for a system that A.) has made it clear it hates them, B.) is mind bendingly retarded, and C.) is clearly going the way of the Titanic.

Nothing personal, but since you're asking a question like this I assume you're of the business owner class, or at least doing very well...the rest of us are already running away from the rising water in the lower class deck and wondering why you guys aren't too.

This is mostly bullshit. They aren't even thinking that far in. They get "free money" from the government so they don't work, end of story. That's it. There isn't much deep thinking going on.
