July is one of the most effective months for planning recruitment, even though it\u2019s often overlooked. With fewer competing vacancies and steady candidate activity, roles advertised in July consistently achieve strong visibility and engagement. Planning professionals remain active throughout the summer, and organisations that advertise early gain a clear advantage heading into the September surge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLANNINGJOBS.COM continues to see high traffic from councils, consultancies and developers during July, making it an ideal time to secure reach before the autumn recruitment cycle begins. Our reduced July rates support teams looking to maximise visibility while keeping budgets tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
