Please list companies who have slashed their recruiting departments.

If you have information on companies who have done away with most of their recruiting departments, please list them here along with the "normal" number of people those departments usually carry and what they're down to today. Here's Tech Crunch's Total Layoffs Since August 27, 2008 report - now does anyone know what companies have decimated their recruiting departments?

Maybe this information can actually help some of us. Believe me, there's a method to my madness.

Rumors welcome.

In the 10 days since New Year's Day, American companies have announced more than 30,000 job cuts. Yesterday Boeing said it would shed 4,500 jobs, while wresting giant WWE announced the elimination of 10 percent of its work force, or 60 jobs. Earlier in the week metals company Alcoa said it would cut 15,000 jobs, as thousands of other positions were shed across the country from companies like Daimler Trucks North America and Lenovo Group. Some businesses have reached their second round of layoffs, while others have begun offering early retirement, shorter workweeks, and cuts in pay and benefits. More here.
