Sebastian Dettmers, The Stepstone Group CEO, said, “London’s enduring popularity as a destination for work is great news for the UK.

“It’s encouraging to see that British employers can continue to attract the best talent from the global workforce, in part due to London’s long-standing reputation as a multi-cultural hub for international trade and its strong employment offering.

“This said, there’s still work to do in remedying labour shortages in key industries, particularly social care, logistics, and hospitality.”
