Speaking exclusively to Recruiter, Viscount Camrose predicted a “world of short jumps” in moving jobs regularly, citing the thoughts of influential management writer Charles Handy, and how improved hiring processes will facilitate “increasingly independent people who go and do a project here and a project there. I think solving recruiting makes that kind of come to life”.

He went on to say: “Everybody will trust the recruiting marketing place enough so that we can all move around much more in that context.”

However, he suggested that the Labour government’s Employment Rights Bill currently under debate and review could hamper that movement. “I really think it’s very regrettable that we are pursuing legislation that makes it much more difficult for people to move around jobs or for organisations to ‘hire and fire’, right?” he said. “I think we should be getting to a point where you never expect to be working for a long time and in some super secure way.”

Moving across a variety of jobs and organisations can help people to be “constantly improving yourself, constantly learning new stuff, and therefore moving around, maintaining your curiosity about new possibilities and new technologies in that way”, he said.

“And to me, that is a much better and more exciting work life than… staying at one employer forever.

“I really think that legislation in this country about trying to promote the single employer forever model is a great long-term strategic error.”

In addition to serving on the Hiring Taskforce steering committee, Viscount Camrose has been named as the honorary president of the Association of Recruitment Technology, which will be launched later this year.
