Recruiting during SA

How is recruiting during SA viewed?

Not in the sense that I am unhappy or wouldn't want to work at my current bank, but just as a way to hedge against not getting a return over? Any advice? 

With this question being asked, I'm obviously taking my current SA position seriously.
