A lot of employers put their hiring plans on hiatus during the summer months because they believe the entire world is on vacation. This is a big mistake.

Suppose you got wind that your competitors were kicking back this summer. Would you instruct your sales team to do so as well? Or would you advise them to take advantage of the situation and step up their game? I’m betting you’d choose the latter.
