The Jackie Serviss Show

Welcome back to the Jackie Serviss Show! In this episode, I’m diving into a concept that’s been on my mind a lot lately: Separation Season. This time of year, from American Thanksgiving through to New Year's, is when many people tend to ease up on their goals. It’s easy to fall into the cycle of thinking, “I’ll start fresh in January.” But I’ve come to realize this pause can actually be a powerful opportunity to get ahead.

I reflect on how this mindset applies to health, business, relationships, and especially hiring. Waiting until January to start recruiting for key roles can create a ripple effect that slows your momentum in the new year. With an average eight-week hiring process for executives, starting in Q4 allows you to onboard and integrate new talent sooner—giving your business a real edge as you enter 2025.

In this episode, I share my personal takeaways:

• Why staying consistent through the holidays is a game-changer.
• How starting the hiring process now can position you for success in the new year.
• Why the holiday season can be the perfect time to attract top talent as people reflect on their careers.

I know firsthand that this is the season to press the gas while others are slowing down. If you’re ready to make 2025 your best year yet, tune in and let’s talk about how to keep moving forward when it matters most.

What is your current approach to hiring new talent? Like most leaders, you probably don’t spend much time thinking about hiring new talent until you need new talent. Hiring is a rather reactive part of business for many leaders. In this solo episode I am going to explain why it’s important to take a proactive approach to hiring. It’s important to always be hiring.

“Always hiring” doesn’t mean interviewing candidates year-round, but rather it involves a shift in mindset. It means thinking of yourself and your entire team as both a recruiter and an ambassador for your business, even when you are outside of your office. It also means assessing your current team, actively networking, and thinking about your sourcing needs long before an employee is moving onto a new opportunity.

Tune in to understand this approach to hiring. Plus, learn about my business and how my team can find the best people for your growing team!
