Dear experts in HR, dear ladies and gentlemen,

feel welcome at PHOENIX GIR (PGIR) German International Recruiting & Foreign HR Consulting! I am Peter M. Barnefske (PMB) and as the head of PHOENIX GIR I will guide you through our website. Let me present you information about one of the world's largest HR markets for foreign HR agencies. GERMANY. Highly profitable also during Covid-19.

PMB in TV. How to enter Germany's HR Market. Right NOW.

GERMANY'S HR MARKET & Covid-19

Like in most countries, Germany's companies and HR managers jammed the brakes in 2020, too. Also Germany's unemployment rate increased slightly, and several companies carried out redundancies. BUT:

12,718,466. Germany's companies offered this enormous number of jobs in "C-19 Year 2020". In fact Germany's HR market only got a "black eye" by C-19. By using "short time work" most German companies kept their well-trained staff on board and demonstrate/d their social responsibility and strong ties with their employees of every nationality.

Compared internationally, Germany generally is quite "immune" to economic fluctuations. It is also among the countries fighting C-19 most successfully. Special thanks to Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel, who acted fast, strict and intense to C-19.

GERMANY'S HR MARKET RIGHT NOW

After 12,718,466 jobs in 2020, Germany's HR market also for 2021 already presents a rapid growth. On 04/03/2021 the number of jobs to fill jumped up to 3,118,712. This number is:

Very close already to Germany's all-time high in jobs at the turn
of 2019/2020, where the companies had to fill 3,371,461 jobs.
A growth of +122.5% from Germany's C-19 low in 05.2020.
The highest number of jobs all over Europe.
Among the highest numbers of jobs of a country in the world.

Also the German IAB "Labour Market Barometer" rose up to 100.9 points in 02.2021 again. (The IAB is the Employment Research Institute of Germany's Federal Employment Service.)

GERMANY IN 2021 & FORECAST IN HR

Germany's employers & recruiters now push the economy to the previous high level again. And according to the experts of various institutions and Germany's government the forecasts for Germany (and thus also for foreign HR agencies) further are positive. In brief:

Further strong recovery of Germany's economy with an expected growth of 3.2% - 4.4%. At the beginning of 2022, Europe's largest economy will return to its pre-corona-level.
Employment will continue to increase and unemployment will fall all over Germany. Even in case (or because!) of another lock down the companies will continue hiring.
Almost every 3rd German company recruits more lateral entrants (Quereinsteiger) from other industries & professions (survey of 1,900 recruiters and 2,500+ executives).
C-19 is an accelerator regarding "Home Office/Remote Working". This opens up new options for foreign HR agencies & candidates.
German companies will recruit from the global workforce more than ever. In lots of industries they have an enormous demand in:

trained professionals & skilled workers
specialists & experts (= academic)
managers of all hierarchies
young talents (apprentices) and freshly graduated juniors
