Around this time of year, we hear the same questions: Are companies still hiring? While some companies may go on a hiring freeze, others take advantage of hiring at the end of the year. Continuing to hire through December can have its advantages. Here is how hiring through the holidays gets be an impactful time to hire.
Available Talent
With other companies going on hiring freezes, the talent pool becomes less competitive. The candidate pool is often flooded with outreach as the demand for talent is higher than the candidates available. With candidates being less flooded towards the end of the year, this is the time to take advantage of the passive candidate pool. People also tend to be more available by phone around the holidays and it is an “easy excuse” month to take time off of work for interviews without the pressure they may feel through the rest of the year.
Want to know the secret to having a strong start to the year? End the previous one strong! The work that goes into the end of the year will pay off in the New Year, and that includes hiring efforts. By mid-December, our firm had taken on 9 new roles to work on. These companies putting effort into hiring into the end of the year setting themselves up to bring talent in early on into the New Year. This time of year, is great for getting connected with the passive candidate pool as people tend to be more accessible by phone around the holidays. As the year ends, your talent partners can be lining up candidates that will be ready to interview in January. Contact us to see how we can be a talent partner to help your team start the New Year strong on the hiring front.
We would like to wish everyone a happy, healthy and joy filled holidays! As the year comes to a close, we would like to thank all of the clients and candidates we have had the pleasure of working with this year. Here is to the end of 2022 and the opportunities to come in 2023!
