Here’s the Scariest Thing About\u00a0It"},"content":{"rendered":"

Hiring in October can be a challenging month for hiring if you\u2019re looking to grow your team. Because we\u2019re starting the last quarter of the year, many businesses are getting low on their budgets and can’t necessarily afford the cost that comes with making new hires. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately there are more challenges that come with hiring in October. One of those is that it\u2019s sort of an in-between time for job seekers to be looking for new opportunities. Summer jobs just ended and students went back to school. Not only that, but there\u2019s still a nationwide staff shortage that\u2019s <\/span>impacting<\/span><\/a> just about every industry, especially hospitality and retail. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Scariest Thing About\u00a0Hiring in October<\/strong><\/h5>\n

But that\u2019s not the scariest thing about hiring in October. Hands down the scariest part is knowing that big name retailers are going to start hiring seasonal employees, <\/span>soon<\/span><\/i>. Recently Amazon <\/span>announced<\/span><\/a> they have a goal of hiring a quarter of a million people to tackle the holiday ordering demand. Though some retailers might be pulling back on the number of seasonal workers they\u2019re hiring, Amazon\u2019s needs alone account for a huge portion of the available workforce. And as it is, the U.S. has \u201c1.4 million fewer Americans participating in the labor force today compared to February of 2020\u201d according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With all these factors in mind, it\u2019s not hard to understand why October is a scary month to hire in. There\u2019s a lot of uncertainty that makes the decision-making process challenging. Plus, how do you find the workers you need when you know they may be scooped up by a major retailer before you have the opportunity? <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
