Guernsey is going through its worst recruitment crisis in 30 years amidst a "perfect storm" of difficulties in getting staff, politicians and recruitment firm bosses have said.
Politicians and business leaders said external factors including Brexit and coronavirus had caused problems getting people to work in the Channel Islands.Deputy Peter Ferbrache warned there was "no instant solution".Director of the Channel Island Co-op Kenny McDonald said his company had "200 vacancies within its retail section".
He said: "I think we will be relying on the goodwill and support of our colleagues across the retail industry and the support of the general public as well.Nick Graham, who runs OSA Recruitment, said: "It's the tightest, most difficult job market I have worked in, in financial services for 30 years."I think the housing problem we have at the moment is really difficult and will hit the job market in six to 12 months.
Mr Ferbrache, President of Policy and Resources, said: "It's a very big problem, it's no comfort to Guernsey to say they have it in other places but it's a real problem and there is no instant solution to it all."
