Is There a ‘Best Time’ to Hire?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Right now is my favorite time of year for many reasons, but selfishly, it’s because October through March is the busy season for us! Leaders are ready to say YES to getting support. They seek us out to help them with hiring a fractional or full-time Executive Assistant. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was thinking about all the work we do and wanted to debunk a question I get asked all the time.</span> <strong>That question is, “Is there a ‘best time’ to hire?”</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you do a simple Google search of this question, you’ll find that a lot of people think the best time to hire is in the New Year - in January or February.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In fact, that’s when many job seekers are advised to start applying.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In my opinion, there is no universal “best time” to hire. Everyone’s needs are different. But, there is a best time for YOU.</span></p> <p><strong>In today’s episode, I want to discuss: </strong></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How to know it is the BEST time for YOUR organization to hire</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why you shouldn’t WAIT for the new year, just because a Google article says so</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What you need to have ready so you can hit the ground running with your new teammate</span></li> </ol> <p><strong>Subscribe and Review</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Have you subscribed to my podcast?
