What is the Best Time of Year for Recruiting Success?

[DebPC]

Does anyone have a time of the year when you recruit way more then others year after year?
If so when is it and why do you think it is.

every month is good for me... but November, December, Jan and Feb seem to be my slower month for recruiting. Nov and Dec because of the holidays, Jan and Feb because people are coming off the holidays. Spring, summer and fall are good because people are out and about but not overwhelmed

I'm not a solid recruiter, but I always seem to recruit in February. April has been pretty good in the past, too, but not this year b/c I wasn't doing anything TO recruit.

I always have recruits in Sept/Oct and again in Jan/Feb but like has been said, any month can be good. It depends on when they are ready to start.

I am a consistent recruiter... hasn't been a month in over 2 years that I have not signed at least 1 person. But when I look at the months where I sign 4, 5 or 6, it is always in spring and summer

I'm inconsistent....I'm working on being more consistent. I tend to do 5 one month then none the next, then 5 the next then none. Not sure why that is....

Great thread! I have been in a recruiting slump but I am back on track. In March I recruited 2 and in April I recruited 2. For me, I find the spring and fall are more consistant with people being more interested in learning more about the business, but surely any month of the year is a good year to start.
