Scots businesses told the Daily Record how Brexit and Tory immigration policies had made it brutally difficult to recruit and retain workers from Europe.
Scotland's tourism industry has been devastated by Brexit after warnings it would hit the sector hard were ignored.
Business bosses also spoke of a loss of "cultural diversity" from workforces as the number of EU nationals coming here to study or work fell as a result of the loss of freedom of movement. "The majority of our team members stay with us all year on permanent contracts. However, the busy summer season requires additional positions to match the business volume.
"These tended to be university students or people early in their careers who wanted to travel, live in a different country, improve their English and gain experience in a good-quality hotel to take into their future careers. Employers can also sponsor people from overseas for work under the UK's Sponsorship Licence Scheme but it's an expensive, time-consuming and complicated process, costing thousands of pounds in fees.
She added: "Scot land's hospitality sector has not been listened to with respect to Brexit and the reduced diversity and skills within the workforce has also been detrimental."We need to have a system where people can come here to work in hospitality or other sectors as we need services that support the population to function well also.
