“As we found out earlier today, Britain has decided to leave the European Union, with 51.9% voting in favour of the UK forfeiting its membership. For us an organisation it now means we must reassess our internal recruitment processes as EU freedom of movement laws have, up to now, allowed us to benefit from the skills of talent from across the single market. With this talent pool’s ability to move – both to and from the UK – potentially affected by the outcome of this vote, we, like many businesses, are waiting on outcomes of negotiations to see whether we will need to secure working visas or equivalent for our people.
“At this early stage there is little indication how freedom of movement laws, and other regulations, will be impacted so it would be remiss to suggest how the recruitment sector will be impacted. However, we will be working closely with our clients, and sector trade bodies, to ensure that the transition is as smooth as it can possibly be.”
