Understand What HR
Teams Are Thinking
January and February are the two most popular months to apply for jobs. So, as we head into the Q2 months of March, April and May what are human resource teams focused on and how do you break through the noise?
Companies are onboarding their Q1 new hires, evaluating existing team members and making adjustments and transitions. At the same time, economists have been predicting doom and gloom for the past 24 months which means any notions of “let’s hire in Q2” could easily stall until Q3 or Q4 as most companies remain cautious about hiring.
It’s not all bad news! pepelwerk works with companies who are planning ahead and are ready to match and develop candidates. Our community understands the importance of building their future workforce today. That’s why 81% of people say that matching to job through pepelwerk feels “more human” than a resume-based application process.
