Multiple reasons.

1. People haven't grasped the extent of how expenses have skyrocketed and public services have deterioted. Its very much herd mentality.
2. A lot of migration is happening from Asia/Africa where wages are low due to forex rates and hence there is a net positive delta on savings in UK (through the gap is rapidly depleting).
3. Same as above, there are few positives that immigrants often quote when asked to justify the move - low pollution, better lifestyle, public transport, free health and schooling...
4. UK SW Visa is typically one of the easiest to get among developed nations. All other english speaking nations have a higher barrier for entry.

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.

Why do recruiters never tell you which agency they want to talk to you about until they get you on the phone? I don’t want to waste anyone’s time and it would be helpful to know this info from the initial outreach. My experience with this only applies to healthcare, but would imagine it’s the same in consumer as well. Anyone?
