Why Hiring Managers Should Embrace Holiday Season Interviews

As the holiday season approaches, hiring managers may be inclined to slow down recruitment efforts, reserving the search for top talent until the new year. However, Natalia Perez Janssen and Dakota Lowe from Trebla Talent have 3 compelling reasons, why small to mid-size biotech's shouldn't pause interviews during the holidays.

1. Avoiding the January Rush: We urge our small/mid-size biotech clients to leverage the holiday season as an advantage to attract top talent before the January surge. This opportune 5-6 week period, spanning from mid-November to early January, offers a highly effective window for proactive and strategic hiring.
2. Maintaining Company Momentum: The holiday season shouldn't halt small biotechs' growth. By conducting interviews, these companies showcase resilience, creating a dynamic image that fosters excitement among employees and potential hires. Momentum matters, even during the holidays.
3. Strategic Onboarding Planning: For small biotechs, strategic onboarding during the holidays ensures seamless integration. Planning ahead enables a thorough orientation process, setting the stage for a productive start in the new year. Invest time now, and go into the holidays at peace knowing you have a new hire starting!
