    Having no qualifications is apparently the best indicator of voting Brexit.
    Bean is the sort of obviously poorly educated dumbkopf who still thinks Brexit will have no bad effects whatsoever.
    Nothing but ad-hominem, thanks, but your assertions are still unsubstantiated.


    PS. I've never said the following;
    "Brexit will have no bad effects whatsoever."

    No, I'm saying the information doesn't support the wild assertions made.

    What is your experience based on - articles in The Daily Express?

    So just to summarise, you have 25 employees out of 32.26 million people employed (0.000077%).
    You almost failed to hire 1 (0.0000031%), yes ONE person within 9 months and claim therefore, that "academia already hit big time"

    As to the article, all it suggests is that hiring has not had MoM growth, not that there is no hiring whatsoever.
    In addition, there is nothing to suggest, that highly-paid workers are going to leave to the extent public services and tax-take are crippled - as per the original assertion by spasguru.

    So, back to not holding my breath.

    Brexiter "thinking" has gone from

    We hold all the cards (Wrong!) -> the EU are being horrible (defending their interests after we said were leaving, more like) -> Never mind we can deal with the rest of the world (Not so easily and would help if we had something to trade) -> it may turn out alright in the end (it won't).



    It's great entertainment from t'other side of the channel.

    So it doesn't have a complete picture.

    LinkedIn also obtained 'insight' from a collection of pimps.
    Pimps aren't always used for hiring people.


    So, still waiting for the evidence behind the assertions (which I assume you now agree with, since you've picked up the baton from spas?)

    It could, but nothing is certain. Many factors will affect this, but for you to unilaterally declare it completely wrong just shows your own naivety, as opposed to Brexiteers

    How many organisation does 'your' experience cover? One? and what was it - just 1 position?

    Wow, the sheer scale of your recruitment drive is overwhelming, we all better have a sit down and a cuppa - it's a shame it isn't just an example of how you are scaling up your personal experience of 1 role for 1 org, and calling it 'academia'

    But you probably didn't read it
    "Finance continues to be the strongest hiring sector in London, followed by Software & IT Services, and Corporate Services."

    &

    "Hiring activity in the South East was strongest in Software & IT, Corporate Services and Finance."

    Did you read it?



    So again, Link(s) please to support assertions (I know they were spasguru's, not yours) - otherwise it's just one brainfart of many....

    Thus, undermining at least 1 of your assertions.
