2021 is coming to an end and we’re all looking forward to some well-deserved time off. But, now is not the time to put your recruitment on hold, in fact now is the best time to fire up!
Here are 5 reasons why you should recruit before Christmas and get one step ahead in your recruitment process.
- Your competition may be less focused on hiring at this time of year, which in turn gives you more chance of locking in the best candidates on the market.
- The recruitment process will be completed before Christmas and your new employee will start fresh in the new year.
- You will have more time for onboarding in the slower month of January.
- It is a great chance to invite your new starter to social events and Christmas parties happening in December, a chance for them to get to know the team before they start.
- Offering a candidate a role before Christmas gives them ample time to notify their employer of their resignation so that they can start in the new year with you.
