As the cooler weather finally creeps in, so does the return to hiring after the long, hot summer of 2024. As has always been the case in the fall, our clients find themselves turning their attention to hiring the highest caliber candidates, meeting with their board of directors and focusing on goals achieved in 2024, while assuring that Q4 budgets expectations are met.
Regardless of the coast on which you live, many of those interactions and decisions hinge on the outcome of the presidential election and balance of Congress. Hiring in all sectors of our work looks to the political winds for guidance. Whichever party secures the White House and control of Congress will likely also dictate the type of candidate firms and corporate offices will seek for their highest communications posts. Those employee candidate choices could also be viewed through the lens of which political candidate prevails and sits behind the resolute desk in January 2025.
While we all breathlessly watch the election unfold, smart employment candidates are ready to seize an opportunity to demonstrate political fluency in an interview setting by keeping themselves apprised of the key issues that will come up in the new year. From multiple news subscriptions, Substack newsletters, and leading podcast shows, the vast amount of information to consume is endless.
