Why the New Year is a Perfect Time to Hire New Employees
Filed under: Employment Staffing
As the New Year is approaching, have you considered the changes that you want to make in your business? Right now is a great opportunity to assess the growth of your company and set goals for 2016. Having the right team is the foundation that you need to reach the goals that you are striving to achieve. Here are a few reasons why you should be ready to hire new employees in January:
People are Searching for Work
Once the holiday season winds down, people start thinking about their own career path and things that they can do to strengthen their income. It is common for job-seekers to slow down their job search during the holidays, because they want to spend time with their family and friends. The job searching activities will pick up once again in January, which means that employers will have more candidates to choose from.
Tax Paperwork
If you are trying to hire a new employee, you might consider waiting until the New Year so that you don’t have to worry about the tax paperwork for 2015. January is a fresh start and an easy time to add another person on the payroll.
Find the Talent and Skills that You Need
In order to meet your business goals, you need to make sure that you have the right set of skills on your team. Assess your workforce to identify where any potential gaps might be, and then find new employees who can fill the space and strengthen your team. Hiring outside talent can be beneficial to bring a fresh perspective and new skills to the team that you already have in place.
New Budgets for the Year
It is common for hiring to slow at the end of the year, especially if the annual budget has been exhausted. January brings a new budget, which means that you have the money needed to hire more employees.
If you are planning to hire employees this year, then you should consider the benefits of working with a staffing agency. For faster, more effective hiring practices, call Eric Cross, owner of Express Employment Professionals at: (951) 239-4744
