It is common that during the period between the months of January and March new employment opportunities arise, especially since many companies begin to carry out their planning for the year, which sometimes includes the expansion of their work team.
However, for some reason there is a bias whereby people think that the summer is dead time.
For the executive search managing partner at Backers & Partners, Sandra Olive, that false belief has to do with the idea of the end of the yearend of school, and more, which for a long time led people to think that January and February were “dead” months, a belief that grew because for years, on this date most people took a whole month off holidays. “But the reality is that this is no longer the case, and the organizations continue to move”explained the executive.
So Olive advised those who are actively looking for work not to take a summer vacation from their job search: “Travel with your computers and be proactive,” said.
For his part, the managing partner of CONA RH, Carlos Contino, stated that summer is an excellent time to look for job opportunitiesadding that both technical and non-technical job opportunities are emerging.
For the CEO of Talentum, Cristina Oneto, The last quarter of the year is the labor crisis period par excellence, since employees begin to wonder not only what they want to do, but also what profession or specialty they are really good at.
And the reality is that only half of the workers know their true potential, while the other half hold positions and perform tasks that do not satisfy them. So, these “cThey begin to experience a certain degree of dissatisfaction when they see that their goals are not met”, according to Oneto. Faced with this crisis, many decide to leave work.
In this context, both in one case and in another new possibilities are opened for those external or internal profiles whose potential is indicated for those positions that remain vacant.
In addition, the end of the year period implies a greater burnout risk among collaborators. And to avoid even more resignations, more and more organizations are relying on temporary hiring solutions to be able to cope with the pressure, stress and fluctuations in the demand of the different sectors.
“For the companies, the umtemporary employment means flexibility in management and agility in the time of action”, said the executive director of Brazil, María Campos.
In addition, it allows access to specialized collaborators so that they can concentrate on a specific project.
By the way, a recent PageGroup study points out that One of the greatest advantages provided by temporary hiring that occurs during seasonal periods is labor reintegration. These short-term jobs are ideal to start a professional career or to return from a period of inactivity and, in addition, they can be the gateway to multinationals and renowned companies.
Regarding the amount of collaborators who make the journey from temporary to permanentAlthough the answer depends on many external factors such as the economic situation of a country, the industry to which the company belongs, the technical and soft skills that the employee may have, and more, for three out of four consultants the conversion rate from temporary to permanent is greater than 20%. This implies that 1 out of 5 employees who start with a contract for a defined period of time will have one for an indefinite period.
