Commenting on this morning’s announcement of a majority ‘No’ vote in yesterday’s referendum in Scotland, Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) chief executive Kevin Green says:
“The referendum has unearthed a series of questions about greater levels of devolution and this will undoubtedly herald significant changes for Scotland and the rest of the UK.
“We will continue to keep all members informed as the discussions move forward and we will engage and represent the recruitment industry at the highest level.
“In all discussions about further devolution, policy-makers must keep in mind that workers move across borders and businesses need to take talent with them, wherever they are operating. The UK jobs market gathers its strength from the close collaboration between the different regions and nations of the UK and this should remain at the forefront in all deliberations.”
