Hire, actually

‘If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that job-seekers actually are all-around.’ 👀

I’ve taken some inspo from Hugh Grant there, but it’s true that Christmas is a great time of year to look for your next team member.

A lot of hiring managers assume that the Christmas holidays mean less people are looking for new roles. However, along with the notion that elf on the shelf is a good idea, this is a festive myth with very little substance.

Festive cheer is all well and good, but if you want to get ahead of your competitors, it’s worth knowing that along with Santa, December brings an increase in job seekers. People often use the Christmas break to research new opportunities and think about their next move, especially if they fancy a challenge in the new year. 🎄

Deciding to pause your hiring efforts for a while might seem a good idea, but it’s a great time to attract the talent you want because the market won’t be as crowded. According to Indeed, 21% fewer employers sponsor jobs in December compared to November, so there’s less competition for your role and it will be easier for people to find online. Think of it as Christmas shopping when the shops are quiet. 🙌

If you want to increase your chances of improving your team and business this Christmas, don’t put off recruiting until the new year. Hire, actually. ❤️
