Is your team dragging its heels by Wednesday? You're not alone.

Hump Day is notorious for stalled momentum — especially in hiring. But here’s the secret: Wednesday is actually the best time to reignite your recruitment drive.

Why Wednesday Works for Hiring

By midweek, you're far enough from Monday’s chaos and not yet into the Friday wind-down. It’s the ideal time to:

  • Review CVs with a clear head

  • Schedule interviews for the end of the week

  • Reassess hiring needs with perspective

A Midweek Strategy That Works

  • CV Screening Support: We send only the most relevant candidates to avoid decision fatigue.

  • Flexible Interview Coordination: Let us handle the logistics so you can focus on fit.

What Hiring Managers Are Saying

"We filled two roles with Howard James midweek. The CVs were so on point, we interviewed the same day!"

No Time Like the Middle of the Week

If your hiring has slowed, now’s the time to change that. A midweek push could have your next hire ready before the weekend.
