Whether to look for a job in the summer?

In the summer need to relax. However, as the experience of recruiting companies, due to the fact that thinks most, job search during this period can give the best results.


After the holidays, many people are switching to a new job. But to find a replacement is not easy. Potential employees are willing to accept an offer of employment only after they rest. And on the labour market, a vacuum is created.




Every year the concept of "summer lull" and "seasonal decline" all the more evident are displaced from use of recruitment firms. "Two years ago we attempted to test the hypothesis that in the summer of processes associated with employment in recession. It turned out that no seasonal no failures, the level of demand for staff remains approximately the same as at any other time, with the exception of the Christmas holidays," - said the head of marketing recruitment company "Anchor" Elena Klekovkin.




"The needs of companies, as a rule, for the season is not bound, " says a leading recruitment consultant company "TRIZA-exclusive" Anton Frolov. But in the summer many experts on offers of employment are responsible, that they are willing to consider them, but only since September. According to him, in the summer to find experts more difficult: all I want to was done on vacation, and then to reflect on new offerings.




"All personnel managers complain that applicants on the next summer jobs simply don't exist. People have a rest. Therefore, it may be that the job search during the summer will give the best result," says the marketing Director of recruiting agencies, Contact Tatiana Ananiev. According to her, the holiday season is associated with the season of layoffs. After the holidays, many people are switching to another job. Going to relax, they already know exactly what will come to work in another company. But potential candidates for the occupation of vacated posts isn't going to sacrifice their vacation. And on the labour market formed a kind of vacuum.




"Summer is one of the most favorable periods for job search, " says the Director of personnel of AlfaStrakhovanie group Ekaterina Uspenskaya. The period of vacations exacerbate the problems associated with incomplete state, forcing recruiters to intensify its activities. So opinion about the summer as a "dead season" for job search is an illusion".




Summer employment is also a big plus. According to recruiters, summer employee easier to adapt to a new place. At this time, and the pressure from the leadership of the smaller and new projects are about to start. In addition, according to Ekaterina Uspenskaya, in the summer, many companies conduct various corporate events (teambuilding, sports and leisure, etc), which allows beginners to quickly adapt to the new team.




However, summer employment has its pitfalls. "You can say that summer business processes do not stop, but slow down. Therefore, those who are looking for work in the holiday season, you need to be prepared for the fact that the decision regarding the vacancy will be taken slowly," says partner recruitment company Marksman Inna Somatokine. The employment process may be delayed, because the companies looking for staff, key employees, too, can go on vacation. And then the applicant will have to wait to work out first one, then another future boss.
