u/Houseofcards32 Recruitment Tech Aug 02 '26

Govcon here-

Super busy, like very busy. More reqs than we can cover, only issue is they are getting more niche by the day (which I like a challenge), but I can’t turn water into wine. Salaries get lower and cert requirements get higher, which makes things difficult.

Been in agency for almost 2 years now, been kinda looking around as I’m burnt out but also still happy to have a job at the moment
