Make September Your Career Springboard
With the summer holidays behind us and routines settling back into place, September is often when businesses refocus on growth. That also makes it one of the best times of year to explore new career opportunities.
At Kingsgate Recruitment, we notice a clear rise in hiring activity during this period — from permanent hires through to temporary and contract placements. If you’ve been considering a change, September is the ideal moment to take action.
Why September is a Smart Month to Job Hunt
As companies plan for year-end projects and set targets for the months ahead, recruitment activity ramps up. This seasonal boost — often called the September Surge — means more job vacancies, more interviews, and more opportunities to take the next step in your career.
Research also shows that more than half of professionals see September as the best time to apply for a role. But with more competition in the market, it’s important to make sure your application stands out.
Tips to Get Ahead This September
1. Refresh your CV
Your CV is your first chance to impress. Make sure it highlights your most recent experience, skills, and achievements. Kingsgate consultants can help you shape your CV to give it maximum impact.
2. Strengthen your online presence
Employers will almost certainly check your LinkedIn profile. Ensuring it is professional, accurate, and up to date will help you make the right impression.
3. Prepare for interviews
With more candidates applying, preparation can make all the difference. Researching employers, practicing competency-based answers, and building confidence are key. Our team can support you every step of the way.
