Recruiting in July holds strategic importance for organizations as it aligns with the mid-year review of business goals and workforce planning. It's a time when companies can reflect on the first half of the year, assess their talent needs, and proactively fill gaps to meet year-end objectives. Additional thoughts on why this is important: ◾ Mid-Year Growth: Organizations utilize mid-year reviews to identify team gaps, making July a pivotal month for strategic recruitment to foster growth. ◾ Budget Opportunities: With new fiscal years starting, July offers the chance to utilize fresh budgets for hiring, allowing companies to strengthen their teams for the year's second half. ◾ Talent Pool Expansion: The influx of recent graduates and active summer job seekers expands the talent pool, providing a unique opportunity for organizations to recruit fresh talent. ◾ Seasonal Preparation: Companies anticipate seasonal demands, using July to strategically hire and prepare for upcoming peak business periods. ◾ Competitive Edge: Reduced hiring competition in summer months allows proactive organizations to attract top talent more easily. ◾ Operational Continuity: Employee vacations and transitions in July can reveal the need for additional staffing, prompting timely recruitment to maintain operations. ◾ End-of-Year Readiness: Hiring in July ensures new employees are well-integrated and trained for the final quarter, aligning with end-of-year goals. ◾ Academic Synchronization: Industries tied to the academic calendar focus on July hiring to align with the upcoming academic year, ensuring readiness for new cycles.

Former Chairman and CEO of IBM, Co-Chair at OneTen, Author of Good Power.
I’m excited to share this Fortune article from Ruth Umoh sharing new research on SkillsFirst hiring from OneTen today. It shows that 56% of managers believe removing degree requirements would enhance hiring, yet only 31% have take action. The benefits are clear: In addition to SkillsFirst opening up new pools of talent, hiring managers reported accessing a stronger pool of candidates and more efficient hiring through SkillsFirst hiring: - 91% report seeing SkillsFirst results in hiring more qualified candidates. - 82% report seeing SkillsFirst results in finding more motivated candidates. - 79% have seen SkillsFirst reduce the number of mis-hires, saving time and resources. As companies navigate the challenges of talent acquisition, this research can help human resource professionals identify and overcome barriers to putting skills-first hiring approaches into practice. Equally important, SkillsFirst is not just an effective hiring approach–given its impact on retention, and promotion–it’s a broader talent strategy that can be more effective for all employees.
Managers say they support skills-based hiring. But many jobs still require 4-year degrees
