The ATC UK Landscape Review & Snap Poll
In the past two years, language service companies have experienced a series of major disruptions to their recruitment and staff retention landscape.
With many ATC member companies re-starting recruitment after a long hiatus, it’s time to open the conversation around topical issues and challenges. What does this constricted, more competitive market mean for recruitment and staff retention in UK language service companies?
In our ‘new normal’ landscape, the UK’s recruitment market is now significantly more closed, rather than open, as Brexit effectively shut down EU-to-UK recruitment.
The Covid pandemic resulted in resignations and extensive remote working arrangements – both within the UK and for staff members moving back to their home countries.
In the language services space, a gap has opened up between the salary levels in traditional language service companies, on the one hand, and creative and technology companies on the other – compounded by salary differences between large cities and regional locations.
It is clear that the cost of living crisis is putting increased pressure on all companies to support employees, and to find the right balance between salaries, flexible working conditions, and benefits.
What does your company’s recruitment and salary landscape look like right now?
