Get Ready for Brexit
As HR partner to our many candidates and clients, we are always interested in local and global events affecting the job market and trends. To this end, we have written the following informative article for our candidates based in the UK who may not be British citizens but of other origins and interested to know what is happening with Brexit and what we may be able to offer as Cyprus and an alternative job and life.
Earlier this month, the British Government launched a campaign titled Get Ready for Brexit and a website to help people prepare. At HR Innovate, we too have been preparing.
The job market in Cyprus is thriving. According to Eurostat, unemployment is at 6.5%. What does this mean? It’s a candidate’s market in Cyprus today. Anyone looking to repatriate now is a great time to find the ideal job, especially for those of you in the Financial Services or Tech Industry.
