Furthermore, over half have not witnessed any fluctuation in demand for contractors since the British public reached its collective decision last June.

They are working with what they have, not what may or may not happen in years to come.\u201d Is it too much of a stretch to muse that recruiters are, professionally, finally \u2018living in the moment\u2019 and no longer worrying about future skills shortages or talent droughts that may never materialise?<\/p>\n<p>Year-on-year there has been an effect \u2013 an 11% drop in City jobs &#8211; but this has mellowed since January. In contrast, Robert Walters saw a 21% increase in job volume. Chris Hickey, Chief Executive Officer at Robert Walters &#8211; UK, Middle East &amp; Africa, proclaimed: \u201cEmployers are maintaining a \u2018business as usual\u2019 approach with demand for professionals in financial services remaining strong.\u201d Mark Woffenden, Finance Director at Leeds-based recruitment agency Lucy Walker Recruitment, agrees with Hickey. He told Insider: \u201cThings have carried on as they were prior to Brexit raising its head.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.recruitmentgrapevine.com\/article\/news-2017-06-13-by-bye-brexit-effect-on-jobs<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just over a quarter of recruiters believe that Brexit will see an improvement for them, according to research by ADVANCE.
