Recruitment agency says there are employers hiring right now
Tyson Wilson Recruitment has today (Friday October 1) said that the ending of the government-backed furlough scheme will cause stress for many workers, but there are plenty of options available.
Michelle Tyson, director of the agency said that while some employers may not be able to retain staff most will be able to continue with staff employment.
“It is an extremely stressful time for those who have not yet received reassurance that their employment will continue,” she said.
“With 36,000 on furlough by the end of July it is inevitable that some businesses will not be able to keep all the staff who were on furlough.
“If you are in that situation, you will naturally be concerned but options remain open.”
Ms Tyson said that it is an opportunity to look at what career path you wish to take.
“The reality is that a lot of sectors are experiencing staff shortages,” she explained.
“Across hospitality, retail, call centre, haulage and the care sectors there are vacancies.
“While many may not think you have the skills in these areas, or others, many are offering training for new recruits.”
Ms Tyson also said that for many they may not want to take on a new permanent post until they have assessed what next.
“We know that there are full time and part time temporary positions open in many sectors, and it may suit to look at a temporary job until the employment picture becomes clear.
“The Bank of England has said there may be a small rise in unemployment, for those affected we can assure them there are jobs open right now.”
The government’s furlough scheme was set up to support employers by paying 80% of wages, and in August and September it was reduced to 60%, with businesses paying 20%.
“The reality is that some businesses will close or reduce the number of staff but for those that have lost their job they need to remember that the position may became available again. And, it is important that they retain good relations should they need a reference.”
Ms Tyson said that they currently have a range of jobs across Northern Ireland for people to apply for immediately.
“We want to support those who have found themselves out of work at this time,” she said.
“Our team will walk you through the next step in your career journey, and make sure you find the post that is right for you and right for your circumstances.”
