The Recruitment and Employment Confederation met with us on 27th October 2021 to discuss skills shortages and they regularly attend PBS Sector Calls to outline their views. These occur broadly monthly, the last was on the 9th of March, with both ministerial and recruitment sector representatives. We welcome their continued engagement on these important issues.
