People tend to want to tie up loose ends before the new year.
If there are unfilled positions on their staffs, hiring managers naturally want to fill them. Positions open up in late November or early December because many professionals quit their jobs this time of year. Professionals who have been looking to leave a company will plan their resignations in order to start a job right after the new year. Headhunters are more motivated to place candidates before the end of the year. Almost all executive recruiters are paid on commission.
