5 reasons to kickstart your job search before the new year

Are you considering a career change or looking for your next job role?

A lot of jobseekers will wait until 2025 to start their search, but getting a head start this side of the new year could secure you that new role before Christmas (with more time to relax over the festive period!)

Here are five reasons why starting your job search now is a smart move:

  1. Less Competition: Many job seekers wait until January to begin their search, so starting now means you’ll face less competition and have a better chance to stand out to employers.

  2. Year-End Hiring Push: Companies often aim to fill positions before the end of their fiscal year or allocate remaining budget. This can lead to a surge in hiring before December.

  3. Beat the January Rush: January is a busy time for both job seekers and recruiters. By starting now, you can avoid the rush and secure interviews while recruiters have more time to focus on your application.

  4. Momentum Going into the New Year: Securing a new role or gaining traction in your job search now allows you to start the new year with less pressure and more career momentum, instead of starting from scratch in January.

  5. Faster Hiring Decisions: With the holiday season approaching, many companies speed up their hiring process to fill roles before year-end vacations and new fiscal planning begin.
