NEW YEAR, NEW JOB? THE TIME TO START LOOKING IS NOW!

Thinking about making a career move in 2027? You might be planning to start your job search in January, but our Permanent Recruitment Team at Contract Personnel have one piece of advice… don’t wait!

With just weeks left until Christmas, now is actually one of the best times to start exploring your next opportunity.

Why? Because finding the right job takes time. From submitting your CV and having initial conversations to arranging interviews, receiving offers and working through notice periods, the recruitment process doesn’t happen overnight.

We caught up with our Permanent Recruitment Team to get their advice. 👇

💬 Rosie Branford

If you’re thinking about changing jobs in the New Year, now is the perfect time to get the ball rolling. Even if you’re not quite ready to move, having that initial conversation with a recruiter means we can understand what you’re looking for and start identifying opportunities that suit you.”

💬 Hannah El-Najjar

People often underestimate how long the recruitment process can take. Between arranging interviews, making decisions and working through notice periods, a job you apply for in November could be the perfect opportunity to start fresh in January. Getting ahead now can make all the difference!”

💬 Lesley Freeman

January is traditionally a time when people start thinking about new beginnings, but why wait until everyone else starts looking? By updating your CV, exploring opportunities and speaking to us now, you could be heading into Christmas knowing your next career move is already taking shape.”

DON’T WAIT UNTIL JANUARY TO START THINKING ABOUT JANUARY!
