Q1 is when most people change jobs. January through March brings the highest application volumes of the year.
If your career page is not ready, you lose candidates before they ever apply.
Candidates often research before they apply to jobs
People don't wake up and apply to random jobs. They research first.
Before someone submits an application, they visit your company website. They look for your career page. They want to see what you stand for, what roles you have, and whether you seem worth their time.
If your career page is outdated, hard to find, or does not exist, they move on. You never even know they were interested.
This is why late 2025 matters. Right now, job openings are lower. Candidates are researching, not applying yet. When they search for your company and find a strong career page, you make an impression before the competition even starts.
Why late 2025 is your preparation window
Right now (as the time of this post is in November), hiring is slower. You have time to build systems before the rush hits.
January brings "new year, new job" energy
People finish their year-end reviews and bonuses in December. Then they start looking for their next move in January. Job boards and LinkedIn activity spike.
Candidates shortlist employers in December
Serious job seekers don't apply immediately. They spend weeks researching companies. If your career page is ready now, you're on their shortlist when they start applying in January.
Budgets reset in Q4
If you don't use it, it disappears. Investing in your ATS and career page now means you start 2026 ready, not scrambling.
