‘No one hires in the summer’: let's debunk this myth together 👊
Contrary to popular belief, July and August are prime months for recruitment! While many people take a break, this is actually the perfect time to make your move. Summer often means fewer candidates are applying, which can give your application a better chance of standing out. Recruiters, while they might be juggling holidays, often have more time for in-depth reviews and a more focused approach to hiring.

Why summer is your secret advantage?
Instead of slowing down, we're actively looking for the next talented professionals to join our teams. Here’s why you should keep your job search active during the summer:
- 🤓 More time to prepare: the quieter summer months give you the perfect opportunity to update your CV, refine your cover letter, and prepare for interviews without other daily pressures.
- 😌 Less stress: with a more relaxed pace and fewer people in the office, you'll experience a calmer recruitment process, allowing you to focus and perform at your best.
- 🌟 Less competition: with many people on holiday, the number of applications for each role is often lower, giving you a greater opportunity to be noticed.
- 📅 More flexibility: recruiters and hiring managers often have more flexible schedules, making it easier to arrange interviews and meetings.
- 🎉 Ready for the Back to school: by applying now, you'll be well-positioned to start your new role in September when most companies kick off their new projects.
