Crawford Thomas Recruiting Blog

As the holiday season approaches, many companies are preparing for year-end goals, big projects, and a potential slow-down in candidate availability. However, savvy hiring managers know that getting ahead of the curve by recruiting now can provide a huge advantage. Whether you’re looking to fill key positions in retail, logistics, technology, or any other industry, hiring before the holidays can ensure you kick off the new year with the right team in place.

At Crawford Thomas Recruiting, we understand how critical timing can be. Our contingency-based recruiting model means you only pay for results—no upfront costs, just a successful hire. Not only that, but you’ll also be assigned a dedicated account manager available seven days a week, ensuring your hiring process is smooth, swift, and stress-free.

Why Hiring Before the Holidays is Key

  1. Access to High-Quality Candidates
    While some companies hold off on hiring until after the holidays, forward-thinking businesses capitalize on the chance to attract top-tier talent during this less competitive window. By partnering with Crawford Thomas Recruiting, you’ll have access to our extensive network of pre-screened, qualified candidates, allowing you to fill roles quickly and efficiently.
  2. Beat the Post-Holiday Hiring Rush
    Waiting until after the holiday season to start the hiring process means you’re competing with every other company in January. This rush can lead to longer timelines and a more challenging search. Hiring before the holidays allows you to secure top talent before they’re scooped up elsewhere.
  3. Seamless Year-End Hiring
    With the end of the fiscal year approaching, many organizations aim to finalize hiring decisions before budgets reset. Our team at Crawford Thomas Recruiting makes it easy to meet those year-end hiring goals by sending you multiple qualified candidates for each open position, so you can find the perfect fit quickly.
