Hire Hotel Managers for Germany Recruitment Consultant

Germany’s hospitality industry is booming due to tourism, corporate travel and international events. For this reason, the search for experienced hotel managers has intensified in locations such as Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and Frankfurt. Yet, hoteliers have led increasingly frustrated searches for experienced and capable candidates to manage a day-to-day operation that performs as desired by guests.

Central to the problem is a shortage of staff in hospitality. In an environment of increased vacancies, companies are challenged to fill roles with talent that complies with German labour laws, understands the cultural nuances, and can perform at a high level. To cater to this immediate requirement, organisations are relying on professional hiring partners such as Dynamic Staffing Services (DSS), which offer a hassle-free hiring process.

With a rich history of linking international talent with local work, Dynamic Staffing Services has an expertise in placing experienced hotel managers quickly and efficiently throughout Germany, where all required regulatory standards (i.e. work visas, business licenses, etc.) are met. Whether you are a boutique hotel in Stuttgart or a resort in Bavaria, we enable you to hire hotel managers for Germany who are ready to lead.

Problem Statement: Labour Shortage in Germany’s Hospitality Sector

The German hospitality industry, which adds more than €100 billion to the economy each year, is struggling with a huge skills shortage. The German Federal Employment Agency has calculated that there’s a shortage of at least 45,000 workers in the hotel and gastronomy industry. That's particularly true in management positions that require a mix of leadership, multilingualism and an understanding of compliance.

This continued labour shortage is felt even more strongly in touristic cities like Cologne, Leipzig and Nuremberg. Without good hotel managers, businesses stand to lose customers through bad service, low staff retention and inadequate adherence to regulations.

Testimonials

Dynamic Staffing Services was a breath of fresh air for our Berlin property. With months of searching for the right hotel manager with the ability to manage local guests and foreign visitors without result, DSS came into the picture and met our needs within 5 weeks. The candidate does not just speak excellent German and English but has a very good feel for tourism trends in Berlin, as well as the operational subtleties of running tours in Germany’s capital city. Their team took care of everything from interviews to visa paperwork, saving us a tremendous amount of time. It’s better guest reviews and higher staff retention that we are seeing now. Dynamic Staffing Services really knows what German hospitality needs.

– Christoph Lange, Berlin

We were in desperate need of a hotel manager with experience in corporate guest relations for our Munich hotel. Dynamic Staffing Services was a great recommendation and surpassed my expectations. Their advisers knew who we were looking for and put forward three strong candidates within just three weeks. Especially their knowledge about the regulations, even from German labour law up to Blue Card application, has always been very professional. Hiring our new guy has improved our booking/closure ratio and given some structure to things. Thanks to Dynamic Staffing Services, we finally found a staffing partner we can count on.

– Sabrina Roth, Munich

We are a chain of hotels in Hamburg and Bremen, working on multiple locations and feel that finding employees is sometimes difficult. Not only did Dynamic Staffing Services give us qualified hotel managers, but it also created a pipeline for future placements. Their former consultants are insightful, prompt and mindful of regional nuances in German hospitality. Their post-placement support was what most impressed me, regular check-ins and performance monitoring. And now we have a Dynamic Staffing Services placed manager in control of one of our highest-performing properties. Relatively few recruitment partners will be as thorough or as engaged in your success.

– Ulrich Becker, Hamburg

The search for talent who want to work here in the Black Forest was arduous on account of our remote location. We had worked with other agencies before, but we never found the right fit. We were amazed by Dynamic Staffing Services’ capacity to find professionals from a variety of different languages. We employed the hotel manager through them, who has overhauled our guest experience programmes, leaving a new approach. Dynamic Staffing Services took care of all visa requirements in a very professional manner. Their method is organised, legal and extremely effective. We are already in discussions for our next hire.

– Anita Vogel, Düsseldorf

Recruiting internationally has always been something we have been nervous about, given how complex German employment and immigration law is. The Dynamic Staffing Services took all the hassle out of it for me. From the time we joined, their consultants drove it, they scoped out the role, managed all paperwork and kept us fully compliant. Four weeks later, the hotel manager with permits and practice was already on our turf. Dynamic Staffing Services even gave us the German induction material. By far the most professional hiring we have experienced. I can recommend any hotel in Germany.

– Jens Meier, Stuttgart
