Despite the uncertainty in today’s job market, the job search process is getting shorter for some applicants, says a new report from ZipRecruiter.

Some good news on the employment front: Job seekers are getting hired in a shorter period of time while sending fewer applications compared to earlier this year, according to the latest findings from ZipRecruiter, which looked at 1,500 new hires.

The job search company’s latest quarterly survey of U.S. workers who started their job within the last six months suggests Americans are getting more comfortable with the uncertainty in today’s job market. Also, they are more likely to remain at their current positions (tending toward so-called job hugging), leading new employees to take a “more cautious and strategic approach to their career moves.”

“Today’s new hires are coming in ready to stay put,” ZipRecruiter labor economist Nicole Bachaud said.

The data on new hires is especially relevant because they are often the first people in the job market to experience changes in recruiting and employment offers.
