Why Pre-Christmas Hiring Gives Property Firms an Edge

The weeks leading up to Christmas might feel like a wind-down period, but for many of our clients in property, it’s actually one of the smartest times to hire. While some businesses put hiring on hold until January, those that stay proactive benefit from stronger talent pools, quicker processes, and a significant competitive edge.

While competitors wait for January, you benefit from a quieter market with far less noise — meaning your roles stand out and attract higher-quality candidates. Many candidates are already thinking about new challenges for the new year, so they’re more open to conversations and change during this period.

Recruitment also tends to move faster in December. With fewer meetings and lighter schedules, decision-makers can interview, review, and hire more efficiently. This speed not only improves the candidate experience but also reduces the risk of losing great people to slow processes.

So don’t put your recruitment processes on hold until the new year - make the most of the time you have now so you can be prepared for the new year with fresh faces and new talent in your team!
