He knows what's happening, why it's happening, and where things are quietly turning around.We get into the real drivers behind today's uncertainty: post-COVID overhiring, the warehouse automation slowdown, and how a few big players pulling back creates ripple effects across the whole industry.Then we get to what actually matters if you're in the market. Josh breaks down the roles seeing real demand right now, where integrators and OEMs are still hiring, and how to work the search smarter. We also get into realistic timelines, what a recruiter relationship actually gets you, and why proof beats buzzwords on every resume.If you're hiring, exploring options, or trying to land on your feet after a layoff, this one is worth your time.
