'tis the season to be jobhunting
The festive period is traditionally a time for pure indulgence; eating, relaxing and having fun. But for some UK workers, Christmas and Boxing Day may actually be spent jobhunting.
Whether the office Christmas party was the final straw or the thought of going back to the office in the New Year is too much to tolerate, 47% of UK workers will think about career and their future over the Christmas break, with 51% of jobseekers looking for greater job satisfaction.
Does this sound familiar? If so, it is important to understand what it is you wish to change to make sure your next role is the right one for you. If you need a bit of help to get started, try taking our Happy Days test to identify areas that could make your life easier. Or to understand yourself better, complete our Jobsite Personal Profile to find out what motivates you.
Last year over 70,000 people went online to search for a job between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day and this year we will have 35000 to 40000 new jobs going live during Christmas and the New Year. So if you want to get ahead, it is worth checking out the latest vacancies between Christmas and New Year.
Happy holly-days!

Candidate exclusivity survey
We’re trying to understand how you hunt for jobs on the internet. The results will really help us to improve our services and make jobhunting easier for you. If you’d like to help then you can take the 4-question survey now. Thanks in advance.
Earn lots, exciting opportunities!
Do you have a friend who can talk you into anything? Someone who always gets a good deal using their charm and clever powers of persuasion? Chances are they’re a natural salesperson. But do they know that?
We have got loads of sales jobs at the moment for all levels, from entry level positions to directors. So if you or your friends enjoy the challenge of selling, why not take a look?
Why don’t you tell us about yourself?
We’re gathering information on your interview experiences, so we can get a better idea of how you get on and what we can do to support you, help you prepare and convert applications into job offers. It would be great it you could take a few minutes to complete this very short survey, thank you.

RecruitRank – Work with the best
62% of UK workers agree with the idea of ‘new year, new start’ and 42% of you plan to look for a new job in the New Year. We know that jobhunting can be a really demotivating experience, so why not take a look at some of the success stories to come out of our RecruitRank campaign. This is aimed at improving your jobhunting experience through encouraging excellent customer service, so please don’t forget to leave feedback on your own experiences.

RecruitRank – encouraging conversations
Last month we told you about a new feature of RecruitRank, which allows you to have an anonymous discussion with the recruiter. So far we have seen both recruiters and jobseekers really getting on board, feeding back to one another about the positives and negatives of the recruitment process.
Feedback on customer service helps recruiters to improve the service they can offer you, and feedback on your applications can give you invaluable insights into the way you present yourself. Thanks for being a part of RecruitRank; together we will change recruitment forever!
