September is known for starting a fresh. There's a sharp uptick in the number of jobs advertised and the interest from prospective employees.

During the summer months many companies will advertise fewer roles as they know the best talent might be on holiday and could potentially miss the listing, and it can also be challenging to schedule interviews if key members are out of the office.

Therefore, September usually signals the start of the new term for jobs (not just schools) and along with it, fresh thinking.
