There’s a common belief that the end of the year is when hiring slows down. From what we’re seeing at Resolver Recruitment, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Demand has remained strong throughout December, with agencies actively hiring and locking in roles for January and February starts. Rather than waiting for the new year, businesses are moving early to secure good people and set themselves up for a strong start.
For candidates, this is a highly strategic time. Many top performers use the end of the year to reflect, reassess their goals, and quietly explore what’s next. Conversations are happening now, and quality opportunities are emerging well before January.
This makes year-end an ideal time to gain clarity. Whether you’re considering a new challenge, stepping into leadership, or looking for a role that better aligns with your long-term goals, having the right insight matters. We work closely with candidates to provide honest advice, real-time market knowledge, and clear expectations — so decisions are made with confidence.
For our clients, we’re seeing a clear shift toward proactive hiring. Agencies are reviewing team structures, identifying gaps, and securing key hires ahead of the new year. Many roles are already confirmed for early 2026, allowing businesses to hit the ground running without disruption.
After nearly two decades recruiting in real estate, one thing is clear: the agencies that move early are the ones that win.
As the year wraps up, our focus remains the same — helping professionals take the right next step and supporting agencies to build strong, aligned teams for the year ahead.
If you’re planning your next move or looking to strengthen your team for 2026, the Resolver Recruitment team is here to help.
