??? OPENING HOURS: Festive season.

The festive period is the perfect time to pause, recharge, and connect with loved ones. It’s important to us that the Hasson Associates team has the opportunity for a well-deserved break so we can all return in January refreshed and ready to tackle the exciting opportunities ahead.

Thank you for your continued trust and support. We can’t wait to work with you in 2025!

??PREPARING FOR SUCCESS: During the festive season.

Whether you’re a candidate looking for your next opportunity or a client planning for the year ahead, here are some tips to make the most of the festive season:

For Candidates:

• Refresh your CV: Take time to update your CV with recent achievements and ensure it aligns with your career aspirations. Highlight measurable successes to stand out in the market.
• Network with purpose: Use the holidays to reconnect with your professional network. Engage on platforms like LinkedIn, send personalised messages, and attend seasonal events to build meaningful connections.
• Set career goals: Reflect on your objectives for the New Year. Whether you aim to secure a new role, develop skills, or transition into a different sector, having a clear plan will help you take proactive steps.

For Clients:

• Review talent needs: The festive season is the perfect time to assess your team’s needs and plan for the year ahead. Identify skill gaps and consider how hiring can help achieve your 2025 goals.
• Stay connected: Maintain relationships with your recruiter and key talent during this period. Keep your network strong and your employer brand visible.
• Partner with specialists: Working with recruitment experts (such as ourselves!) ensures you tap into both active and passive talent pools. We can help you uncover the best candidates, including those not actively searching.

By combining rest with preparation, candidates and clients can use the festive season to get ahead. Make this season more than celebrations. Use it as a springboard to new opportunities and growth!
