Why January is the Best Month to Find a Job in Malta

Finding the right job opportunity is not dependent solely on timing, but this sure does have an effect on your chances of landing a full-time, secure job.

The New Year brings a wave of rewards within the job recruitment industry in Malta.  In this post we explain why January is in fact the best month to get hired.

1. People come back from vacation

With full teams in the office after vacation, HR executives and decision-makers find it easier to pick up the pace and begin a serious job hiring exercise.

Since January may start slow as people begin to return from holiday vacations, waiting for the second week to send your resume may be a wise idea.

2. Budgets and sales forecasts would have generally been approved

At the start of the year, most companies receive their updated hiring budgets.  Hiring managers have a better idea of what roles need to be filled in.  They also find out what type of team members they afford to hire.

3. Most companies kickstart to achieve their new goals and initiatives for the new year

A new year, with new goals and aspirations for every company.  Getting the ball rolling in the first month of the year is crucial to reach company targets.  Thus, hiring teams will make a greater effort to hire new team members to achieve such goals.  The new year gives them the energy and motivation to do so.

4. At the end of the year, employees may retire or leave their job position

Most companies wait until December to pay annual bonuses.  For this reason, several people wait until January to change jobs.  Companies therefore find the need to hire more team members and thus issue more job vacancies during this period.
