Does hiring tend to speed up or slow down in December?

Definitely slow down. Lots of people out on PTO and finalizing budgets/headcounts for next year makes it tough to hire late in the year.

I’ve noticed hiring picks up in Feb/Mar as people leave after bonuses hit in Dec/Jan. Just my two cents, may differ by company/industry too.

SLOW! 😴 Interviewed with a company recently (their recruiter/HR was sipping wine at 11 AM) Said we ll get back to you with the final result in January 😂

funny

In general slower, but for a lot of companies they do want to close out a few roles before end of year as they may lose headcount going into new year or they wanna spend the recruiting/sign on money out of this years budget etc, or set up for next year.

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do. I've voiced to my boss that I'd like to manage this department and they indicated that this is the thought for the future. Now they are asking me to train this person while I have my plate full. Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?
