Hiring in Londons financial industry dropped sharply and companies are keeping a tighter lid on costs following the UKs vote to leave the European Union, according to Hays Plc Chief Financial Officer Paul Venables."Business loves the magic wand called certainty and we have none of that now." The drop in the pound "is a sign of the uncertainty." The "eye of the storm" on Brexit has passed, the Hays CFO said, adding that uncertainty lingers about the types of trade deals the UK will be able to work out with the European Union and other blocs.
英国公投确定退出欧盟后,伦敦金融行业的招聘需求大幅下跌,企业普遍加大了对成本的控制力度。英国最大猎头公司Hays Plc CFO Paul Venables如是说:“对于企业来说,稳定性犹如一把魔杖,但我们现在正面临巨大的不确定性。英镑的下跌正是不确定性的一个迹象。”但Venables同时表示,英国退欧的风暴已经过去,但其与欧盟及其他联盟之间的贸易协议仍伴随极大的不确定性。
