Immigration | Backlash to rumoured £30k salary limit on EU talent

A touted salary cap for EU migrants has seen a backlash from employment and recruitment experts who are concerned that it could cut off the UK’s access to talent.

Although Sajid Javid has rowed back on claims that a £30,000 limit will be put on UK workers, it is still being discussed a potential central tenet of a post-Brexit migration policy.

Yet, employment law and recruitment specialists have hit back against any limit being set on EU workers.

BBC’s The Apprentice Winner, Ricky Martin, who founded Hyper Recruitment Solutions (HRS), argued that a cap on limit could stop top talent reaching the UK.
