This is really surprising considering the number of open recs they post on linkedin.

It is time we stop treating recs on linkedin as evidence of hiring. It is just as much an advertising tool as it is a genuine desire to hire people.
Exactly. I've been told this before: "we have open reqs so there can't be a layoff!" Of course one follows eventually whether there are reqs or not. The reqs are just sitting there and they aren't responding to applications.
