Recruitment Consultants, are you suffering from “post-bank holiday slump”?

… don’t worry it’s normal and a well-documented phenomenon, particularly in sectors like recruitment.

Research suggests that recruitment consultants often face a challenging time on the Tuesday following a bank holiday due to several reasons:

Increased Workload: The extended weekend leads to a pile-up of tasks that need immediate attention, such as responding to emails, following up with candidates, and adjusting schedules. This can make the first day back feel overwhelming.

Delayed Responses: Both candidates and clients may be slower to respond after a long weekend, further complicating the recruitment process. This lack of immediate feedback can hinder progress on placements.

Shifted Priorities: After a bank holiday, businesses might shift their focus to catching up on their own work, leading to delays in decision-making related to hiring. This can result in a bottleneck effect, where recruitment consultants have to manage multiple delayed processes simultaneously.

These factors combine to create a “slump” in productivity and morale, making the day after a bank holiday particularly difficult for those in the recruitment industry.
