FROM AUGUST'S RECRUITER MAGAZINE 

You couldn’t make it up. Since the small hours of 24 June, the UK, so often perceived by the outside world as coldly efficient and conducting its business to the most proper standard, has been in chaos. The bold leaders of the campaign for taking the UK out of the European Union themselves ‘opted out’ (although at press time, Boris Johnson had just been appointed foreign secretary), and voila, we have a new prime minister who will take the country through this massive unravelling of its economic and social fabric. Even our new PM Theresa May must be wondering, “What next?”
 

Immigration – one of the Brexit campaign hot topics – will be a key issue for recruiters, and in our Brexit focus, our journalist Colin Cottell has explored with leading legal experts potential scenarios that could unfold over the coming months. Leading in-house recruiter Matthew Jeffery, no stranger to the political scene, has called on fellow recruiters to put their heads above the parapet and be bold and decisive in their roles as the full impact of Brexit becomes known.

We hope you’re finding our Brexit coverage useful and proactive. We’d like to know what you’re thinking about.
