Head Hunting IT, a Bucharest-based IT recruitment and staffing company, assisted by Nestlers Group Global, an immigration and relocation service provider, has launched its new IT campaign named ‘Remain, Leave or Relocate’ to relocate UK-based tech talent.

The company says the UK’s decision to leave the EU is the main reason why the company decided to reach out to the UK’s tech talents and offer them job opportunities in Romania.

At present, Head Hunting estimates that the Romanian IT workforce need numbers 15,000, while the number of IT graduates is at 7,000 per year, highlighting a deficit.

“We consider that Brexit has profound social and political implications for the UK, which will probably affect the economy over the long term,” Head Hunting IT’s General Manager, Razvan Rada, said. “Our company is targeting IT specialists living and working in the UK and who might start feeling uncomfortable in this type of political climate, even though they’re not at risk of losing their jobs. The IT industry, and creative industries in general, tend to thrive in countries and cities characterised by social, religious and ethnic harmony, where such diversity develops naturally, and is not just a result of political correctness. From this point of view, Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca are starting to be examples to follow for other European cities.”
