Alena Vladimirskaya, owner of the recruiting agency PRUFFI, shared on her Facebook page tips on why it is worth carefully hiring before the New Year. We present Alena's story without changes.
This important job posting guide will tell you about the main pitfalls of New Year's vacancies.
It's the same every year. Two weeks before NG, clients, like mad, open new vacancies marked "urgent". And after the New Year they are closed. But not because they found a person, but because vacancies were not needed.
Why is this happening
Companies defended preliminary budgets, allocated expenses and revenues for the next year, defended development strategies on boards of directors, realized who was fired and what was being developed, and immediately rushed to the hunters. Therefore, in the pre-New Year weeks, top vacancies bloom so much.
Why most of them will never become reality
Because the shareholders and the owner will rest for two drunken New Year weeks, then return to the office, having completely forgotten everything, and to the question: "What are we doing with the vacancy?" - a typical answer would be: “What vacancy? What are you, I have never ordered such, and in general, who are you?"
How to distinguish such vacancies
Any top job open two weeks before the New Year is not live. If it is not the fruit of hysteria after the annual board of directors, then it will be reopened after NG. If the fetus, then she will die during the drunken weeks of the New Year.
That is, it is possible to respond to TOP vacancies opened from today, but you need to understand: the probability that this vacancy will remain after the New Year is 50%. And the fact that all the interviews that you will have during the "corporate weeks" will be forgotten and after the New Year the marathon of your meetings with HR will go on the second round - 90%. So decide for yourself.
What vacancies does this not apply to?
- To any linear, where the main principle is "a person is needed urgently" and where they are looking not to the best, but to the first appropriate. That is, the search for a seller on December 25 is a living history. Finding the head of the sales department is not a living story.
- To vacancies in Western companies. There, everyone works like the damned until December 30th.
What applicants should do
Read vacancies, choose the best ones, put them in the Favorites folder and see if they have been extended right after the New Year holidays. If extended, apply immediately (I repeat, this does not apply to the two categories of vacancies mentioned above).
With the beginning of the last marathon of corporate drunks and congratulations to you, comrades, before the big crisis!
