The Most Impactful Hire You Can Make All Year

If you’re an employer in the United States, hiring someone before Thanksgiving might be the most meaningful and strategic decision you make all year.

This isn’t about rushing the process. It’s about understanding the real impact of timing.

When someone receives a job offer right before the holidays, you’re not just giving them employment. You’re lifting a weight they’ve likely been carrying for months. You’re giving them peace during a season that can feel overwhelming when someone is unemployed or uncertain about the future.

The weight you lift off someone’s shoulders? They’ll never forget it.

Landing a new role before Thanksgiving creates a moment people talk about for years. They’ll remember your team. Your decisiveness. Your willingness to move fast. The stress you erased. The hope you restored.

The stories they will share about their new team? They are irreplaceable.

New hires talk. To their families. Their friends. Their networks. And especially on social media. When someone joins your company right before the holidays, they celebrate loudly and publicly. Those real, human stories about your culture and your leadership become a powerful signal to future candidates.

The branding and marketing this generates? Absolutely priceless.

You can’t buy the kind of authentic advocacy that comes from someone who feels seen, appreciated, and hired at the moment they needed it most. It builds trust. It builds reputation. And it builds momentum going into the new year.

Here’s the truth: Great hiring isn’t just about filling seats, it’s about changing lives.

So trust me on this one.

If you’re considering a hire, if you’re close to making a decision, or if there’s one candidate who stands out…

Hire this week.

Your new employee will remember it forever. And your company will feel the impact long after the holiday season ends.

You can’t make this stuff up
