TIP OF THE MONTH – Keep recruiting when the sun shines.

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.
