Employers within various sectors have stressed that the setting up of ‘the consular network’ promised by the government to oversee immigrant hiring in countries of origin, cannot take too long: the summer is almost here and job vacancies are appearing across the board.

Employers warn consular network promised for hiring immigrant labour “must be ready fast”
