UK jumps up rankings for highly skilled overseas workers 

Matthew Pinto-Chilcott, Owner of Consensus HR comments: “It is great to see today, in a wide range of papers that the UK jumps up rankings for highly skilled overseas workers following changes to migration after Brexit and moving up nine places and this will hopefully make a major difference to those industries that are currently experiencing major problems with recruiting the right people.  My question is the ‘Highly Skilled’ point and what this entails.  Many organisations since Brexit are currently experiencing major problems with recruitment and whether you were for Brexit or not, this needs to be addressed so that we can get back to pre-Brexit levels.  We wait to see what all parties suggest going forward to allow all business sectors the ability to attract the right talent for the role from a range of sources whether this is within the UK or wider afield, whilst ensuring that all areas of best practice HR, the Law, Equality and Diversity are followed for the benefit of the business, economy, and member(s) of the team.”
