Job Hunt Peaks in January 2008
This week will be the busiest week in the new year for Irish jobseekers with nearly thirty five percent of all employees in Ireland likely to search for new job and career opportunities online The last week in the month will also be busy when candidates receive their first pay cheque for 2008
hunttalent.com survey also indicates that candidates plan to spend more than one hour a day during working hours to hunt for jobs. New Years resolutions for many include a search for new jobs having had time off over Christmas to review and relect
Companies need to be highly visible during this peak time to capture and retain the interest of high quality, semi-active jobseekers who are speculatively looking to see what’s out there. The job hunting cycle tends to be three months for candidates, so if companies can reach this surge of new job seekers now they can ensure a steady supply of candidates for the first quarter of the year
