Over the summer it seems everyone goes on holiday and
recruitment is pushed back to the start o the autumn. But just because everyone
is jetting off to sunnier climates or heading to the local seaside resorts it
doesn’t mean your recruitment strategy needs to be put on hold. In these high
tech days candidates can look for a new job whilst sunning themselves on a
beach in Turkey.
When people are on holiday they relax and maybe start to
question their current work life balance or job satisfaction, they have the
time to browse job boards and if interested apply for that all important new job.
So why wait till autumn, launch a campaign, go away yourself for two weeks and
return to a nice full in box of applications and possibly your next superstar.
Worried you might miss out on someone who is away for two weeks? Don’t just run
a slightly longer campaign and then when you get back to work all tanned and
relax you can screen and short list and have your next new hire in place before
the start of the new quarter, when everyone else including your competitors are
just thinking of hiring.
