Last year I applied for a single job, out of a vague interest, and immediately had multiple calls from recruiters from different companies trying to talk to me. This year I'm actually looking, applied for multiple jobs, and had silence. Might be a Trump effect but it's not the same just now. Reminds me of 2008.

As someone commented below, I think the end of ZIRP is the cause and not Trump.

The end of ZIRP was well before last year.

The effects could take a while, I assume many companies had a ton of runway that’s now dwindling. There seems to have been a strong belief for some time that ZIRP will return too.
