The most wonderful time of the year to hire employees

Did you know that January and February is the best time to hire people for a career? It’s true and there are many reasons why. In fact, you may want your business to follow suit and get ready during November and December so you can go on a hiring spree in 2017.

Here are just a few reasons why the beginning of the year is the best time to start hiring your top employees:

People don’t vacation much in January and February
The first two months of the year follow the holiday season, which means many people have taken plenty of time off already. With more people available and willing to look for work, you’ll have more applicants to choose from and that’s always a good thing.

More decision makers are in the office
Sometimes, it’s difficult to make a decision on the right candidate. That’s why you’ll want the input of the other members of your team, so you can be sure of making the right choice. Since many people don’t typically vacation in January and February, you’ll have more of your team members in the office ready to help interview and vet any candidates for the positions you’re seeking.

A new year often gives people a fresh perspective
After having time off and starting a new year, many people make resolutions and think about what changes they can make for the better. One of these resolutions is to pursue a new job. If you open positions at the beginning of the year, you’ll be sure to receive plenty of applicants since many people will be looking for a new job to make next year even better.
