Hospitality Recruitment Agency in Germany Recruitment Consultant

Germany’s Hospitality Industry at a Crossroad

Germany’s hospitality industry is back on track. With record-breaking visitors now travelling to Germany, business travel on the rise, and large-scale, international events returning, hotels and restaurants are again benefiting from a vibrant travel scene.

Cities like Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and Frankfurt currently host millions of visitors each year and rely on the country’s world-renowned hotels, restaurants, and resorts to offer the one key ingredient, its people, to provide an exceptional visitor experience.

Like guests' expectations are on the rise, now the industry is facing a new challenge: a significant shortage of hospitality employees with real-world experience. 

Fine dining restaurants and five-star hotels are struggling to find people to fill critical roles. Hotels and restaurants with new buildings and concept design must not only operate without kitchen and front-of-house staff, if enough chefs, wait staff, and housekeeping staff are properly recruited from bigger hotels to ensure consistent service; even the best of hotels will experience pressure on their service standards. Dynamic Staffing Services is able to assist.

Germany's Hospitality Labour Shortage

According to the German Hotels and Restaurants Association (DEHOGA), over 65,000 positions are unfilled in the hospitality and tourism workforce.

Reasons Behind the Shortage of Workers:

• Pandemic effects: Many workers departed the industry during COVID-19 and transitioned to other jobs. 
• Seasonal demand: Tourism fluctuates from summer and festivals, resulting in fewer employees in hotels, etc.
• Demographic reasons: the ageing population has dramatically reduced the number of young workers available to join the service sector. 
• High expectations from guests: travellers from around the world expect multi-lingual, trained staff, which is hard to find in today's labour market. 

The challenge is much worse in places like Bavaria, Berlin, Hamburg, and North Rhine-Westphalia, where there is a tremendous amount of tourism, but staffing is not close to what it was pre-pandemic.
