Seasons Greetings

Is a new job top of your Christmas list this year?

Despite what people may think, companies do still continue to recruit during Christmas time. Reasons may vary from business to business, but a determined job seeker can still find a new role if they put in the effort to search.

Here are some reasons why you shouldn’t put your job search on hold until the new year:

  • Christmas is a busy time of year and who has time to be looking for jobs? A lot of people put their job searching on hold over December to focus on family and celebrations until the New Year… but this means less competition for those who continue searching!
  • Many companies must spend whatever money they have left in their hiring budget by the end of the year. If they don’t, they could lose that amount as part of next year’s funds.
  • People tend to like to start out the New Year with everything settled and no loose ends. This may mean hiring extra people in anticipation of staffing problems or taking care of any positions now instead of waiting until January.
  • Many people leave their jobs this time of year, anticipating that they can spend the Christmas period with their family and then making a fresh start in January with a new job.
  • Christmas brings parties, holidays and special events, but recruitment never stops and there are still always business requirements that must be met. Many people think that Christmas means temporarily suspending business, but most companies will work through the Christmas period.
