January is one of the busiest and most misunderstood periods of the hiring year.
Behind the scenes, companies are launching new initiatives, trying to staff teams faster than most job candidates realize, and, unfortunately for them, replacing unexpected employee departures.
Recruiters are active.
Hiring managers are under pressure.
Roles are opening that weren't planned just days earlier.
Today, I'm covering why January creates both urgency and opportunity for job seekers and how to work the right activities that'll give you a leg up on getting hired.
