Polish Workers
Since Poland became part of the European Union in mid 2004 the number of polish workers seeking employment in the UK has increased dramatically. Many polish workers believe that living in the UK will allow them better job opportunities and a higher rate of pay than they would experience at home. A number of polish workers take on seasonal jobs in the UK, and return to Poland out of season.
Many companies who are seeking skilled personnel are turning to polish workers, and recruitment companies who target polish workers. There are a number of highly skilled polish workers seeking work in the UK who have the skills to fulfil vacancies that they would otherwise struggle to fill. As the UK has experienced a downturn in the number of skilled workers and labourers available more and more companies now have to turn to polish workers to fin the skilled personnel they require. For example, many construction firms are now hiring polish workers as their contractors due to a lack of skilled workers already living in the UK.
There are a number of recruitment agencies online, operating from Poland that specialise in finding Polish workers jobs in the UK. Companies who are hoping to bolster their work force with polish workers would be wise to make use of these resources. Many of these recruitment services actively target young polish workers as the opportunity to work in the UK is very tempting for many.
