Senior Associate Isabel Schnitzler erörtert im PT Magazin den anhaltenden Fachkräftemangel im deutschen Mittelstand und nennt Strategien zur Gewinnung ausländischer Talente. Sie hebt die Komplexität des Migrationsprozesses hervor, einschließlich Visumanträgen und bürokratischer Herausforderungen, und schlägt vor, neben der Rekrutierung globaler Talente auch in Deutschland lebende Geflüchtete und ausländische Studierende als potenzielle Arbeitskräfte zu nutzen.
Isabel betont, dass sich KMU auf der Suche nach Fachkräften trotz Hürden wie langen Bearbeitungszeiten und komplizierten bürokratischen Verfahren einen Wettbewerbsvorteil verschaffen können, indem sie in Sprachtrainings, interkulturelle Unterstützung und die Schaffung einer willkommenden Unternehmenskultur investieren. Sie kommt zu dem Schluss, dass weitere politische Verbesserungen unerlässlich sind, um Prozesse zu rationalisieren und die Digitalisierungsbemühungen zu verstärken, um Unternehmen bei ihren Rekrutierungsbemühungen besser zu unterstützen.
Senior Associate Isabel Schnitzler discusses in PT Magazin the persistent shortage of skilled workers in German small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and explores strategies for attracting foreign talent. She highlights the complexities of the migration process, including visa applications and bureaucratic challenges, and suggests leveraging refugees living in Germany and foreign students as potential labour sources in addition to recruiting global talent.
Isabel emphasises that despite obstacles like lengthy processing times and complicated bureaucratic procedures, SMEs looking to recruit skilled workers can gain a competitive edge by investing in language training, intercultural support and creating welcoming company cultures. She concludes that further policy improvements are essential for streamlining processes and enhancing digitisation efforts to better support businesses in their recruitment efforts.
