I've seen tech jobs gets hundreds of resumes within a few hours of being posted on LinkedIn. I still think there's a huge supply of laid off workers vs. demand, but very strange for your postings.

The trick is to work for a international company without an office in Vancouver (but you also aren't getting FAANG salaries) if you want remote.
It was truly mind boggling seeing the yearly numbers drop so hard. At first I was like ok we're still in the pandemic, people are scared to work in the office, some have opted to go back to school, some stopped working all together and moved back home perhaps etc This will pass then year after year it didn't change. To make things even worse if it wasn't already bad enough the quality of applicants overall were worse than before. Another thing I've noticed in the last 4-5 years is we've been seeing a lot more ghosting. I'm not even talking about ghosting after an application I'm talking about they've applied, exchange emails with us and spent the time to come in person to do a 90 min test, then ghost us.
