The first full working week of January typically attracts a 20% increase in job applications, so how can you get ahead of the competition? 

We have kept it simple with four steps that you can follow to ensure the top talent doesn't pass you by.

1. Post job adverts over Christmas

Attract the many scrolling through jobs this Christmas break

2. Set aside diary time for January

There's nothing worse than finding the perfect application to find they've gone somewhere else with a company has a faster process. Read more here on how to implement a more effective hiring process. 

3. Make sure budgets are signed off 

Could be obvious, but we have had times where budgets are tied up and candidates at final face a long wait and ultimately chose other offers over the uncertainty. 

4. Hire in Q4 instead

Getting things in motion now means your one step ahead of the competition. Read more here on the benefits of hiring in Q4.
