Recruit: Before or after Christmas?
If you already have sign-off to hire, you have nothing to lose by starting now instead of waiting to the new year. Or put another way, you have everything to gain!
Here’s why:
You could secure the ideal candidate before Christmas or just over Christmas
Many companies wait until January to start recruiting, something which means you have less competition in reaching top talent during November and December
Imagine the great candidates you could miss out on by waiting until the new year to launch the position
If you start now, you can focus on other important aspects of the business in Q1
Even if a signature isn’t secured by year-end, you’ll enter January with solid momentum and a strong candidate pipeline
December can be a busy month, but recruiting doesn’t need to take up much of your time. By approaching the process in an agile way, you might be pleasantly surprised!
Here is how it would work:
We have a startup meeting (90 minutes) to discuss the position, candidate profile and more
Rede will create all marketing material and launch the position
Rede will start searching the passive candidate market
Rede will interview candidates who then will be ready to meet you after Christmas (or before if you have the time)
