Second only to the first few months of the new year, September and October are two of the best months to capitalize on a strong market — and a company that is in hiring mode.

According to Career Sidekick blogger and recruiter Biron Clark, hiring tends to occur in waves. Since summer is usually a season of downtime, things tend to speed up in early fall.

As an executive resume writer, I’ve witnessed these seasonal hiring patterns firsthand. In my experience, job seekers hunting in the fall can capitalize on a great time of year where hiring actions are influenced by these prevalent mindsets.

1. The Vacation Mindset Is Gone

After Labor Day, most hiring managers, recruiters and candidates have wrapped up their summer vacations. This means everyone is in the office at the same time, and scheduling glitches become less problematic.

Positions that will be filled only after multiple rounds of interviews tend to go more smoothly in the fall because everyone is around to conduct them.

2. The Holiday Mindset Is Around The Corner

Many companies want to have job offers extended before the “Thanksgiving to New Year” mindset sets in.
