As a recruiter, I hired 2x the amount of people from April - June than I did during all the other months combined. 😳 What?! That can’t be true. 🤨 Yes, hiring happens year round. Companies always have positions to fill. But April - June are particularly busy hiring months. Why? 🤷🏻♀️ Some companies save positions for college graduates. Some companies need a few months at the beginning of the year to iron out budgets. And because this is a busy hiring season, people leave for other companies. Meaning companies need to backfill those vacated positions. So what does this mean for you? 🫵🏼 If you want to change jobs in 2024, start applying in the next 3 weeks. Get ahead of the curve. Some incredible positions are likely to be posted in the coming weeks. And if you get your resume done NOW, you’ll be ahead of the curve. 🙌🏻 You’ll feel prepared. You’ll feel confident in your experiences. You’ll feel fancy with your new, snazzy resume. You’ll be less stressed and overwhelmed, because you have a resume written by a former recruiter who looked at resumes and hired people daily. What are you waiting for?

Hoped to land a job during the "September Surge" but still looking? As a seasoned recruiter, here’s what I think happened with the 2024 September surge: Companies usually ramp up hiring after the summer, finalizing budgets and prepping for the end of the year. Decision-makers are back from vacation, leading to more job openings and a faster pace. Great for everyone, right? This year was different. Yes, companies are hiring, but the market is very competetive. Job postings are there, but so are hundreds of applicants targeting the same role. If you're feeling discouraged, you're not alone. Keep refining your value, reconnecting with old colleagues, and applying. Your opportunity is out there—it just might take a bit longer to find in this crowded market. Did you land any interviews during the September Surge?

A lot of jobseekers have been asking over the past few months about why the job market has gone cold again after the jump in hiring in April/May earlier this year. There's a lot of reasons for the slowdown over the summer, (on avg, 20-30% drop off in job postings), and why companies typically scale back hiring and have slower interview processes... 🏖 Holidays - probably the number one reason for delays in application feedback interviews being arranged, offers being passed on. Could be as simple as 1 person in the hiring team being off for a week and it can push things back for twice as long 🤷🏾♂️ 📚 Strategic Planning: A lot of organisations will devise hiring plans that will involve hiring in bulk over more favourable time periods (e.g. February to May) and then spend the next few months focusing on onboarding/settling the new staff before returning to the job market for the next wave of new hires. Also gives hiring teams a chance to reassess their needs and any new priorities from projects that have been launched. Fortunately with a fall always comes a rise, so jobseekers can look forward to an increase in vacancies being posted over the next few months before the gradual slowdown before December. My main advice to the jobseekers/career-changers for the interim periods: network and upskil yourself wherever you can. The best way to give your job search that extra edge is to put yourself in front of as many people as possible (to find the right ones) and have something extra to give them in comparison to others 💡 #TechHiring #HiringAdvice #Jobseeker

🧩 **Navigating a Normalizing Job Market: What It Means for Your Career Moves** 📊 Hey LinkedIn community! We've all felt the job market's rollercoaster over the past few years, but recent trends show signs of leveling out. 🌟 Here's what a normalizing job market looks like and how you can leverage this stability: **1. Stability in Job Metrics:** 🚦 Job openings, layoffs, and quits saw little change between May and June. This steadiness marks a big shift from last year's ups and downs, suggesting a more predictable landscape. **2. Slower Pace, Same Game:** 🐢 Yes, hiring has slowed, but the job market is still healthy. Low unemployment rates are a good sign, even if it might feel like there are fewer opportunities out there. **3. Job Security vs. Mobility:** 🔒 Many of us feel secure in our current roles, but a slowdown in hiring means fewer chances for upward mobility. This calls for a strategic approach to career growth within our organizations. **4. Entering the Job Market:** 🚪 For job seekers, it’s a tougher climb due to the minimal turnover. Crafting a standout resume that highlights flexibility and adaptability is key. **5. Low Layoff Rates:** 👍 Here's some good news—layoffs are low, which means more job security for everyone. **6. Balanced Market:** ⚖️ While the job market isn’t as hot (think fewer quick hires and big pay hikes), it's more balanced. This alignment benefits the economy and businesses, and can provide a more stable environment for employees. 📄 **For Resume Revival users:** Understanding these dynamics can help you craft resumes that highlight stability and flexibility—traits that are increasingly valued in today’s balanced job market. 👉 So, what's your take on the current job market trends?

FOR JOB SEEKERS: It's well-known in the recruitment world that the first 6 weeks of Q4 (if you go by calendar year) is CRUCIAL when it comes to hiring/finding your next job. Why?: - Holidays begin: Thanksgiving week is a ghost town. - Budgets: Everyone's favorite time of the year, sapping availability and juggling priorities. Not pretty! - Competition: They'll be a few other smart ones around you who want a head start on the market before the floodgates open in January, and rightly so. Get it boxed off now, even if it's for a January start. Below is a reminder for job seekers to start at the core of your network and connect the dots from there via introductions. Referrals continue to be the best introductions, but remember, you have crossed paths with more people than you think - give it some serious thought! - You've worked with people in the past who are at a new/different company. - You've interviewed with people in the past and it didn't work out but you had a positive interaction. - You've worked with people in the past who are now in a leadership role. - You've connected with someone at a company of interest, perhaps even applied. Share quick intro with resumes, expressing interest. Any 1%'ers that have landed you a new gig over the years?
