When is the best time to look for a new job?

As an executive recruiter I am asked this question more often as the year is progressing. From my experience one of the best time to look for a job is around the holidays.

Throughout the year the number of people looking new opportunities increases during the first part of the year and stays steady throughout the summer.

If you could pick a perfect time to search I would say the holidays work best because the number of people willing to make a change in very low. Reasons why may be obvious and some may not.

Obvious: Financially why interrupt your income unless you must. Travel plans are already made. Parties and festivities are already planned.

Not so obvious: People think they have to start during the holidays. Not always true because you can interview (less competition) and you can start during the first part of the year.
