After this summer’s weak job market performance, some career experts are hoping that fall will bring more opportunities for job seekers.
There’s a popular belief that the job market kicks into high gear in early autumn, commonly known as the “September surge.”
According to Katie Martocchio, senior talent acquisition manager at software company Prompt, the month of September brings a spike in productivity for employers and job seekers alike.
Coasting off of fall’s “back-to-school energy,” companies start “getting back into the groove” after Labor Day, she says, and year-end goals become top of mind.
“Now is the time that we can onboard someone, and they can help support and drive those goals to that finish line,” Martocchio says.
