September is a peak month for hiring, and this year is no exception. It’s the “perfect storm” of timing and circumstances, making it an ideal period for both job seekers and hiring managers. As summer vacations end and kids return to school, recruiters and talent acquisition specialists can refocus on filling a long list of job openings. Additionally, September marks the start of the hiring sprint before the slowdown for the holidays, creating a sense of urgency for many companies with budgets tied to the calendar year.
