When is the Best Time to Start Looking for a New Role?

There’s no universal answer for all, but here are a few signals it might be time:

▪️You’ve stopped learning or progressing
▪️Your role no longer aligns with your goals or values
▪️You’re feeling underutilised, undervalued, or just… uninspired

In terms of timing January and August / September are peak hiring seasons, driven by new budgets and business planning cycles. Real Estate sees a lot of movement just after bonus season, and again around project completions or fiscal year- end.

The best time is when you’re clear on what you want, and ready to take control of your career.

Often its a case that you put feelers out there can be when you are happy in your role but would like to be happier. It’s not ideal to wait until you don’t have a role before you start connecting with Headhunters.

Remember, Searching doesn’t always mean moving. It can also mean exploring, benchmarking, and getting clarity.
