After a well-earned summer — and a surprisingly sunny one for many — September signals more than just a change in the weather. As diaries fill, inboxes start pinging again, and the pace picks up, it’s time to turn our attention to Q4.
At Twenty2 Recruitment, we know this season brings renewed energy and focus. But it also brings deadlines, targets, and the need for the right people in the right roles to finish the year strong. If hiring is on your radar, now’s the moment to act.
The final quarter often flies by. Planning ahead now means your team will be in place and settled before year-end demands take over. Whether you need extra capacity or a strategic hire, acting early gives you time to do it right — not rush through decisions when things get busy.
September is a natural time for change. Candidates return from summer ready to explore new opportunities. Many are open to fresh starts but won’t stay available for long. Starting your hiring process now means you’re first in line to speak to the best.
Bringing new people in now also sets you up for a strong start in the new year. Instead of recruiting in January when the rest of the market is doing the same, your team is already up to speed — and focused on growth, not onboarding.
Q4 is full of competing priorities. By planning your hiring now, you avoid the last-minute panic and ensure your decisions are thoughtful, aligned, and values-led. You also avoid the holiday season slowdown that can drag out processes unnecessarily.
Whether you’re wrapping up projects, planning ahead, or building the next phase of your team, this is the time to put your hiring plans in motion.
At Twenty2, we combine insight, agility, and a people-first approach to find candidates who aren’t just qualified — they’re the right fit for your culture and your goals.
