The Ambitions Podcast is a weekly discussion about recruitment. Members of the Ambitions Personnel team explore a range of subjects from the latest changes in the recruitment industry to tips on how to retain and train staff.

In this episode, Lizzie is joined by Becky to discuss the trend of staff moving jobs in the New Year. 'Massive Monday' is the first full working Monday of the New Year and sees a huge number of employees looking for new roles. Last year, over one million CV's were uploaded to Reed in a single day! 

The New Year might not be good news for employers, but it certainly provides a busy schedule for recruiters. Lizzie and Becky discuss what recruiters are looking for in New Year candidates, as well as what employers should be doing to better hold onto their staff in the most vulnerable time of year for job retention.  How can staff get motivated after the festive break?
