Back to Business: Post–Bank Holiday Recruitment Priorities
The long weekend is behind us, and the UK’s final Summer Bank Holiday has been ticked off the calendar. But while many are still in “BBQ and beach” mode, hiring managers can’t afford to let recruitment momentum slip.
The September Surge Is Coming
September is the busiest month of the recruitment year. Vacancies multiply, competition for top candidates spikes, and inboxes fill faster than you can say “pumpkin spice latte”. Acting in the final week of August means you can get ahead before the rush.
Fresh Starts, Fresh Candidates
Bank Holidays have a funny way of sparking reflection. Many professionals spend their time off thinking about whether they’re happy at work. That means today is a hotbed of applications — people ready to hit “apply” after making decisions over the weekend.
Get the Advantage Before Others Wake Up
While some employers are still dusting the sand out of their shoes, you can capitalise on candidate activity. A proactive approach this week ensures you’re first in line with the best talent, rather than fighting through September’s chaos.
