Solving post-Brexit skill gaps through referral recruiting, Real Links

Online recruitment referral platform, Real Links, has successfully leveraged the way to allowing employers to find candidates through referral programs and incentives. The announcement comes a year after a report highlighted half of UK employers fear the skills gap will worsen after Brexit and as companies are now preparing for a no deal Brexit.

A software tool for companies that provides employee generated referrals will bridge the post-Brexit skills gap by tapping into the social and professional network connections of existing employees. The platform is launching a year after it was reported more than half of UK employers feared that the ‘skills gap’ could worsen following Britain’s exit from the European Union and we are now facing a very real risk of a no deal Brexit.

The Real Links platform allows UK business owners and HR teams to access a potential talent pool of hundreds of thousands of candidates. To find out more about how the system works, or for a demo, click here.

The report, written for Total Jobs and Jobsite in February 2018, surveyed more than 5,000 UK employers, of which two thirds expected to struggle to fill vacancies in 2018. With little progress made in the negotiations between the UK and EU since, and a hard Brexit becoming an increasingly worrying prospect, Real Links is providing some reassurance to employers that accessing great candidates, despite a shrinking talent pool, is still possible by tapping into existing employees’ professional connections.
