One possible solution to address the shortage of workers in the hotel, tourism and catering industry is to attract qualified personnel from Eastern Europe. Many countries in Eastern Europe have a long tradition in the hotel, tourism and catering industry. Employees from Eastern Europe often have an excellent education and are highly motivated to succeed in their jobs. Solid German language skills round out the applicant picture for many candidates.


However, there are also challenges when it comes to recruiting qualified personnel from Eastern Europe. One of the challenges is that it can be difficult to find suitable candidates. Another difficulty is that it is often hard to bridge the cultural differences between different countries.

To overcome these challenges, it can be useful to bring in an experienced partner.
