How to Get Hired This January

Jan 16

Written By Iliana Tzanaki

Over 60% of new hires happen in the first quarter of the year and January is the most active month.

January is not just the start of a new year. It’s the most active hiring month of the year.

Budgets are approved. Headcounts reopen.

Leaders return with fresh goals and urgency.

And yet, every January thousands of talented professionals miss opportunities not because they lack experience, but because they approach hiring season reactively instead of strategically.

The Reward

The professionals who stand out in January are rarely the ones sending the most applications. They are the ones who are clear, positioned and intentional.

Hiring decisions move faster this month, but they are also more selective.

What decision-makers look for is:

1. Clarity of direction They want to see that you know where you’re going, not that you’re “open to anything.” A clear target role, industry, or leadership direction builds confidence instantly.

2. Strong positioning Your experience needs to be framed in terms of impact, decision-making and value, not just responsibilities.

3. A coherent career narrative Recruiters and leaders don’t just read CVs. They look for your story. Your career needs to tell a clear narrative about growth, strengths and readiness for the next step.

This is why sending more applications often leads to fewer responses.

Strategic Preparation Before You Apply

The most effective preparation doesn’t start with job boards. It starts with alignment.

Your CV, LinkedIn profile and leadership must speak the same language. If they don’t, your positioning becomes fragmented and confusing.

Strategic preparation includes:

1. Translating your experience into leadership style and impact.

2. Aligning your CV and LinkedIn with the roles you are targeting now.

3. Clarifying your professional narrative so interviews feel natural, not rehearsed.

4. Communicating confidence and direction without overselling or shrinking yourself.

5. Building and activating your network intentionally, so opportunities come through conversations, not only applications

Create Better Opportunities

January is a window. How you prepare determines what opens.

Intentional positioning leads to better conversations, stronger interviews and opportunities that actually fit, instead of roles you feel unsure about from day one.

This is where coaching becomes a powerful positioning tool.

Not to “fix” you, but to help you see your experience clearly, articulate it strategically and step into hiring conversations with intention rather than hesitation and fear.
