Managers Mention

This section includes professional insights?from our Sales Managers/ Managing Consultants, offering their perspectives on what is influencing recruitment demand in their sector.

Don’t stop your recruitment processes during holiday season.

g2 Recruitment's clients across Europe haven't stopped recruiting over the summer months, even though they may be on vacation.

We have seen our clients in Europe secure their desired candidates by continuing to hire during the holidays. Clients can get ahead of the competition, and when the new year begins and other companies ramp up their hiring efforts, they will already have filled key positions.

By continuing your hiring efforts during the holiday season, you can get ahead of your competitors who are on vacation. This means there is less competition for top talent, presenting an exciting opportunity to attract candidates who might have been overlooked by other clients who are out of office.

Recruitment processes never stop, even during the holiday season. Some candidates who are employed may have more flexibility and availability to interview during this period, even if they have taken time off work.

If you are a client who has been struggling to fill vacancies this year, DON'T stop your hiring processes in the holiday season.

Delegate the workload to another colleague, and even if the position doesn’t need to be filled immediately, conduct interviews and engage with potential candidates who can help you build a decent pipeline.

This means that when the need arises, the hiring process can be expedited quickly with candidates you have already interviewed, leading to securing ideal professionals for upcoming projects.

You can use the holiday season to your advantage. Use it to strengthen your team, and don’t wait for clients to return to ensure you avoid huge competition and potential disappointment.
