Skill Shortages

This month we are also delighted to introduce a new member of staff in our HR department – Lorraine Bailey. Lorraine has put together some interesting stats on skill shortages and how that is leading to recruitment becoming very much an international business.

• Talent shortages are forcing UK employers to recruit foreign workers
• 20% of employers are looking overseas for talent to address the skills shortage
• 53% of UK workers have admitted they would consider moving abroad for work
• The UK is the second most popular destination for global workers – the US is first
• Many employers are able to meet these challenges by looking to overseas talent
• The research also found that Poland, India and Latvia were the top three countries of origin for foreign workers.
