Christmas Podding: Day 2 – Festive Recruitment Wisdom in the We Do Grotto 🎄

Video

Welcome back to the We Do Grotto – the Christmas special you didn’t know you needed! Today, Patrick, Alex, and George are tackling the age-old question: is December really a quiet time for job seekers and finance directors, or is it the perfect moment to stand out?

Here’s the festive advice straight from Santa’s helpers:

  • Use December to prep for the new year – update your CV, refresh your LinkedIn (maybe with a Christmas hat?), and reconnect with your best recruiters.
  • Challenge the myth! While many assume the market slows down, this could be your moment to ramp it up. Be in the 5% who make things happen when others step back.
  • Employers are in good spirits and motivated to hire before the new year – so why not secure that dream role before Christmas?

Oh, and if you snag an interview this side of Christmas… festive jumper? Absolutely. 🎄

Catch all the banter, recruitment advice, and a few laughs in today’s episode of Christmas Podding.
