Amid the ongoing efforts to control jobs with a computer science degree and the massive economic impact that comes with it, recent news and government communications have served as a reminder of the consequences of Brexit, which are just around the corner.
The details of Britain’s departure from the EU have now been released in the Government’s ‘Statement of Changes’ which sets out comprehensively the rules that will apply. From 1 January 2021, EU citizens will lose their freedom to live, work and study in the UK and become subject to immigration control.
This means there is no longer a guarantee that an EU-based recruit will be able to take up employment in the UK and employers potentially seeking skilled workers from overseas will have to move fast.
To avoid skill gaps in the workforce, recruiters need to ensure they are ready for the imposing barriers to talent and consider how long it can sometimes take to find the right talent, particularly where there is an element of competition for certain skills.
This is especially true for the northern tech sector, which must work hard to attract people to live and work beyond London and the South East. Because of the upcoming law changes and the headlines currently surrounding it, many more businesses than usual will be submitting applications for sponsor licences, creating the potential for administrative backlogs.
