Hotels to hire staff despite Brexit

Boosted by a surge in tourism, restaurants and hotels are among the companies that plan to hire most staff to the end of the year, according to a recruitment company’s survey.

The Manpower survey which found that 10 of the 11 industries planned to be in the market recruiting staff in the last three months of the year will ease fears about the fallout from the UK’s decision to leave the EU.

“Brexit has been a contentious issue for many employers in Ireland but the fourth-quarter survey suggests that employers in most sectors, despite the uncertainty surrounding Britain’s exit from the EU, are still planning to up recruitment levels in the remaining quarter of 2016,” said John Galvin, head of sales at Manpower Group Ireland.
