    Issue 8: A Guide for the Discerning Hiring Manager

    Dear QuarterBack readers,  I hope this note finds you well! It's that time again when I get the chance to share some thoughts with you in our newsletter.  We see a slowdown in the tech layoffs. The Sep numbers hovered at 58 companies according to Layoffs.fyi site, the lowest since Jan 2023. Are we seeing better days soon? I think it is too early to tell. One of the things I have noticed is that companies around me seem less sensitive about letting people go against the backdrop of this rare tech winter. Perhaps they are taking this time to let go of poor performers fast whereas in the past, they had to do long HR conversations and PIP. The first silver lining after months of bad news was Salesforce announcing their plans to hire 3300 people back. Fingers crossed we are seeing some light.
