In the last 4 years I've started 2 contracts in December and 1 in January, so I'm not convinced it makes much difference.
What seems to happen is my phone is fairly quiet during this time and I only get calls from those with relevant roles.
I've decided that the frequency of relevant roles for me is consistent all year round, but I just get more irrelevant role 'noise' at some points of the year.
Quieter in the summer months (school holiday period).
January can be OK as some clients give the agents the specs in December to get ready for new year - often budgets come on line in January and the savvy clients want to steal a march on the market and get the better candidates signed up sooner.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist
^^^ I just remember reading that there are indeed some quiet periods during the year (I know august is one). Thought I'd ask.
I've been sent the contract and will be getting it reviewed by my accountant. So will be starting Monday!
You wouldn't really want a contract specialist reviewing your accounts so why have an accountant review your contract? I know some accountants offer this service but get a specialist to do it.
