Which makes me think - what are FB recruiters doing right now if the company isn't hiring and has no plans to start? Are many of them laid off too? If not, are they just... chilling?
Having seen a similar situation over 5 years ago play out, some of them (including many of their best recruiters) will go elsewhere because they have no work to do. Some others, of course, will become redundant. Although Meta has the advantage of name recognition, this kind of attrition can mess up hiring pipelines for a while and make it difficult to ramp up hiring in the future, which can make it difficult to attract the talent they really want.

For an internal recruiter, what share of compensation is baseline salary and what share is bonuses from successful hires?
Friend is a FB recruiter (who’s quitting soon). They are not laid off (yet), they’re just chilling with zero work for the past couple of months.
For years I got those emails all the time. If I had printed them out they would have made great fire starters. I could not ever imagine working for FB even though they paid a lot at the time.
