January is often considered the key month in the recruitment calendar; with a noticeable increase in candidates on the market, making it the optimum time to hire staff. January will see people up and down the country commit to their New Year’s resolutions. Whether it be signing up to the gym, losing weight or searching for a new job – 2012 signals a fresh start for all. The developments of 2011, however, have changed this as we are now seeing the number of candidates available immediately increasing due to factors including the up rise in unemployment, redundancy and access to new job channels.
As a result, the benefits of bringing your hiring plans forward to December are stacking up fast!!! Here are the reasons why!!!
Snap up our STAR candidates………….fast
It has been shown by the Office of National statistics that 90% of people relevant and qualified for your role are in fact submissive; therefore in order to find these inactive candidates you should be looking all year round. Your ideal candidate may not even be on the market, so why not benefit from using our Recruitment Services to headhunt them for you? Why put it off for another month, start your search this December!
Less competition
As stated above, your competitors will see January as a great time to start afresh, and start their recruitment drive. If you wait to hire until this time you could see yourself in a battle for the candidate who is most relevant and qualified for your role. You will also find that candidates are attending more and more interviews, showing interest in all parties rather than just your own, therefore starting your recruitment process earlier than your competitors will negate some of this risk.
Start 2012 with everything in place
There’s no doubt that 2012 is going to be a tough year, so why not hit the ground running with your team already in place for January 3rd 2012.
