Can you manage the recruitment boom?

New Year, new job?! According to a recent Total Jobs study, more than 42% of workers are looking to find a new job at the beginning of this year, the main reason being the hunt for an increase in their wages. As per Total Jobs’ report, more than 4 million workers are currently in the process of searching for a new job.

Some of the reasons behind the January recruitment boom include the release of new budgets which allows companies to invest in new talent to support their growth. What is more, for some companies January is the beginning of their financial year and thus, they align their hiring initiatives with fresh annual objectives.

As per Total Jobs’ research, one of the main reasons for changing jobs in 2025 is an ongoing deterioration in employee satisfaction mainly due to stress, burnout or other mental-health related conditions. As a result, post-holiday turnover has seen a higher rate, as employees reflect on their careers during the holiday season.

However, the high competition for top talent along with the big influx of applications and the tight deadlines to fill the roles, can lead to bad hires due to rushed processes. This is where recruitment agencies can step in and help connecting businesses with the best talent out there, saving you time and giving you access to the expertise and resources you need to thrive. 

These are some of the benefits you get by working with a recruitment agency:

• Access to Wider Talent Pools: Agencies often have databases of pre-vetted candidates.
• Expertise and Market Insights: Agencies understand industry trends, salary benchmarks, and candidate expectations.
• Streamlined Hiring Process: They manage screening, interviews, and reference checks, saving time for internal teams.
• Flexibility and Scalability: Agencies can quickly scale recruitment efforts based on demand.

In addition, agencies can provide cost-effective solutions and cater to business of all sizes, offering exceptional advantages that give you a competitive edge in the market. Contact us today to discuss your talent challenges.
