Recruitment of Skilled Workers from Abroad for the Hospitality and Gastronomy Sector: Your Path to Qualified Personnel

16.08.2024

The hospitality and gastronomy industry in Germany is facing a growing challenge: a shortage of skilled workers. This shortage makes it necessary to look beyond national borders for qualified professionals. Recruiting employees from abroad provides a valuable solution to fill this gap and meet the high demands of the industry.

As an employer in the hospitality and gastronomy sector, you understand the importance of finding employees who not only possess the necessary skills and qualifications but also have the ability to quickly integrate into the work culture of your company. In this article, you will learn how partnering with Primasteps can help you attract the best international professionals for your business. Our services are specifically designed to provide you with a smooth, fast, and effective recruitment process.

1. Direct Placement: The Direct Employment Contract between Employer and Professional

One of the greatest advantages of working with us is direct placement. Unlike many recruitment agencies that act as intermediaries, we focus on establishing a direct connection between you as the employer and the professional. This means that you enter into a direct employment contract with the selected employee. This direct relationship enables clear communication and builds trust from the very beginning.

A direct employment contract offers numerous benefits:

  • Clear Conditions: All contract terms, including salary, working hours, and additional benefits, are negotiated directly between you and the employee. This ensures transparency and security for both parties.
  • Quick Integration: Since no intermediaries are involved, new employees can be integrated into the company more quickly. This leads to higher satisfaction and shorter onboarding times.
  • Long-Term Commitment: A direct employment contract strengthens the sense of belonging and can foster the employee’s commitment to the company, which is particularly beneficial in the hospitality and gastronomy industry, where turnover is traditionally high.

Through direct placement, we ensure that you recruit the best professionals who not only fit your company technically but also personally.

2. Flexibility: Seasonal or Long-Term Employment

Demand in the hospitality and gastronomy industry can fluctuate significantly, especially during seasonal peaks. Primasteps offers you the flexibility to offer both seasonal and long-term employment contracts. This flexibility is a crucial advantage for employers who need to hire staff based on demand and business conditions.

  • Seasonal Employment: During tourist peaks such as summer or Christmas, the need for staff can increase dramatically in a short period of time. By recruiting seasonal professionals from abroad, you can ensure that you always have enough staff available to provide the best service to your guests.
  • Long-Term Employment: For sustainable personnel planning, we offer the possibility of binding professionals to your company long-term. Long-term employees can integrate better into the corporate culture and contribute to the stability and quality of service.

 

The ability to choose between seasonal and long-term employment as needed gives you, as an employer, the flexibility to manage your human resources optimally and thus ensure business success.

3. Perfect Matching: Candidates According to Your Requirements

One of the biggest challenges in recruiting professionals from abroad is finding the right candidates who meet the exact requirements of your company. Primasteps is dedicated to providing you with the best possible candidates through perfect matching.

Our matching process is designed to take into account your specific requirements and preferences:

  • Qualifications and Experience: We ensure that the candidates we propose have the necessary qualifications and work experience to successfully fulfill the tasks in your company.
  • Language Skills: In the hospitality and gastronomy industry, good German language skills are often essential. We make sure that our candidates have the required language proficiency to communicate efficiently with colleagues and guests.
  • Cultural Adaptability: The ability to quickly adapt to the German work culture is crucial for the success of foreign employees. We place great importance on finding candidates who fit well into your team not only professionally but also culturally.

Through our precise matching, you save valuable time and resources in onboarding and can be confident that your new employees will be productive and motivated from the start.

4. Speed: Average Placement Time of 30 Days

In the fast-paced hospitality and gastronomy industry, time is often a critical factor. At Primasteps, we are aware of this and have optimized our recruitment process so that we can present you with qualified candidates within 30 days.

We understand that recruiting employees from abroad can be associated with certain uncertainties. To provide you with the greatest possible security, we have developed a risk-free payment model, where payment for our services is made only in stages, starting from the commencement of employment.

This model offers you the following advantages:

  • Security: You only pay if the recruitment process has been successfully completed and the employee has actually started working. This minimizes your financial risk.
