I keep reading that the recession is over? There are an increasing number of indicators that seem to support this claim. When I was employed by BT I recall listening to and reading stuff from on high about the need to change as recession bites so we (BT) can emerge stronger and quicker. Makes sense, I can relate to that. I was surprised then to hear on last night’s news that BT is to halt its graduate recruitment scheme, at a time when we appear to be slowly emerging from a recession. Consciously shutting off a vital inflow of new talent. How does a move like that make BT stronger, or quicker?

Are you aware of any other employers making such limiting decisions? Is this an isolated incident or have you any other examples of conscious talent reduction?
