Employers cannot fill roles due to the mass exodus of overseas workers

The legacy of covid 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.

Never before has such a complex jobs market been witnessed in this country, says Barry Whelan, who this year celebrates 22 years of Excel Recruitment. 

“On the one hand, Ireland has almost full employment with career opportunities at every corner for those who want them. But on the other hand, economic factors both in Ireland and overseas, added to by a period of hyper-inflation, are creating an environment of economic uncertainty and possible instability.”
