Xtreme Consulting Group Blog Top 4 Sourcing Tips to Close Out 2017

During these last few weeks in December, we often notice a holiday slowdown in the hiring world. Hiring managers tend to push off their recruitment duties until the new year, whether it is due to budget freezes or the burden of coordinating busy schedules with holiday vacations. For recruiters (like our team here at Xtreme) that could mean candidates being placed on hold in the interview process, out-of-office email notifications from hiring managers, and a stall on placements until the new year. So, how can recruiters stay productive this month? By utilizing the downtime to source prospects and build up your hiring pipeline. December is a great time for sourcing as potential candidates are considering new goals and possible career moves in the new year.
