Lobbying for a flexible immigration policy to address skills shortages

The recruitment industry depends on an available stream of good quality candidates to meet the expectations of clients. As people are our business, a ready supply of talented individuals with the right skills is vital to the success of the industry.

Shortages of suitable applicants can be a problem for some sectors and we campaign for skills and immigration policy to be aligned to the real needs of labour market. REC lobbys the Migration Advisory Committee and the Home Office to ensure we have a flexible immigration policy that meets the real needs of the labour market.
