It's not slowing down, the problem right now is that there are too many people applying at the same time. Look at the statistics on linkedin (I think you need a premium account though). It goes up to 500 applicants for one single engineer position at a big startup. Web, mobile or whatever... That's a lot! And it's only people applying through linkedin.<p>Not a good time to be out on the market right now. From what I've seen so far I'd put at least 2 to 3 months applying everywhere to get something.
I'm not sure how this is answerable in a meaningful way.<p>I get just as many recruiter emails, or more, as I've been getting for years now. No slow-down that <i>I've</i> noticed, but I'm statistically meaningless.
