In Select Leaders‘ most recent newsletter, they detailed why your odds of being hired increase in the summer. Read on for more of their insight.
Why successful candidates preferred to job search in the summer:
- More flexible start dates
- Less competition (Data shows that June is one of the best months to apply to a job and get hired, while December is at the bottom)
- Access to hiring managers (in the summer months, hiring managers and recruiters might have a tad more free time to engage with candidates that make that extra effort)
- Networking (slower months for getting business done, means more availability for lunches, dinners, and happy hours with your network)
- Ability to interview, without sounding the alarm with your boss.
Good luck landing those jobs this season!
