“By delivering instant temporary workforce solutions across a broad range of sectors, we are supporting our clients to enable them to deliver their business goals in a time of acute labour shortage. Our increased footprint in Dublin, along with our island-wide expansion, will give us the workplaces we require to deliver our unique service”.
However, the jobs market is still facing challenges, the company said, warning it was complex as global economic factors both in Ireland and inflation helped create an environment of economic uncertainty. That came on top of the impact of Covid-19. “Covid’s legacy is still being forcefully felt by employers who cannot fill roles due to the mass exodus of overseas workers and Ireland’s younger labour force,” said Shane McLave, managing director of Excel Recruitment. “Another consequence of Covid is the increased numbers of employees who want to, and do, work from home – which has transformed the working environment for employers and employees alike and is not always possible to implement across all sectors.
Mr McLave also warned no attention had been given by authorities to the issues surrounding Stamp 2 visas. It was calling on the Government to introduce some flexibility around the conditions of the work visa. “This country is currently home to thousands of students from abroad, many of whom are eager to work. However, their Stamp 2 visa model only allows them to work for 20 hours for seven months of the year and for 40 hours for just five months. These students could contribute in a big way to solving our staff shortages – if only our visa system facilitated this,” he said.
