We Didn’t Win the Lottery, So Let’s Finish 2024 Strong!

Let’s be honest—when those record-breaking lottery numbers flashed across the screen, many of us briefly envisioned handing in our resignation letters with a dramatic flair or handing our business off to a partner or family member. But alas, here we are, still clocking in, grinding it out, and making moves. And you know what? That’s okay—because 2024 isn’t over yet, and there’s plenty of time to finish stronger than we started!

I'm Zina Brown, Talent Executive at Pop-Up Talent, I’m here to remind you: just because you didn’t win the Powerball doesn’t mean you can’t hit the jackpot in your hiring strategy. So, grab a cup of coffee (or that fancy energy drink with way too much caffeine), and let’s tackle these end-of-year hiring challenges together.

?? The Final Push: Hiring for Q4 and Beyond

Hiring in the last quarter isn’t for the faint of heart. Between holiday schedules, year-end budgets, and everyone trying to "wrap things up," it can feel like running the last leg of a marathon in flip-flops. Here’s how to stay on track:

1.??????? Focus on Purple Squirrels

Translation: that one-in-a-million candidate who’s the perfect fit. They exist, and we can help you find them. (Pro tip: It’s faster with a recruiter who knows where to look—hint, hint.)

2.??????? Be Realistic with Timelines

If you need someone to start yesterday, don’t panic. Let us plug in as your on-demand recruiting team. We’ll grind while you focus on closing deals or surviving the office holiday party.

3.??????? End-of-Year Hiring Incentives

Use your hiring budget wisely—sweeten the deal for candidates with benefits, perks, or those “new year, new job” vibes. This is the season to sell why your company is the best place to land for 2025.

?? Why Grinding It Out Pays Off

You might not have bought that dream island (yet), but finishing strong in 2024 is about more than just surviving. It’s about setting up a rock-solid foundation for the new year. With the right team in place, you’ll hit the ground running when January rolls around.

·????? Save up to 60% on recruiting costs without fees

?? Let’s Celebrate the Wins

Whether you’re crushing your hiring goals or just happy you survived another day of Zoom meetings, take a moment to celebrate. Did you bring on a rockstar employee this year? Did your team power through some major challenges? Did you manage not to cry in the office bathroom this month? (Hey, we’ve all been there.)
