The REC (Recruitment Employment Confederation) have confirmed the landscape of the UK workforce is changing with the key industry influencers being an aging population and a much-reduced non-UK-born workforce. Here’s some key stats from their recently published Aim High Guide: · Aging population with 1 million more workers in their 50s than their 20s · Growth in the non-UK-born workforce is 90k lower per year. · There are 600k fewer young people in the labour market than a decade ago. · Lower migration means growth in the non-UK born workforce is 90k lower per year since 2016. · ONS statistics show there are more people with long-term health conditions preventing them from being economically active. · For the first time in more than 3 years our labour supply post-pandemic is decreasing. The REC are recommending the need to embrace recruitment partnerships to ensure hiring in this market is as stress free as possible – what are your thoughts on this? #recruitmentpartner #recruitmentpartnership #talentscarcemarket #recruitmentadvice #ChemicalIndustryRecruitment #LifeSciencesRecruitment #CoatingsIndustryRecruitment #PersonalCareIndustryRecruitment
