Dear experts in HR,
dear ladies and gentlemen,
on 19/08/2020 the German companies had to fill 1,909,931 jobs online. This are +53.5% from 22/05/2020, which is the highest number of any country in Europe and also one of the highest globally.
Like in most countries, also the German companies "jammed the brakes" in the last months. But now, after a significant rise in unemployment because of C-19, the German labor market recovers quickly and presents a strong growth. Compared internationally, the German labor market not only is relatively "immune" to economic fluctuations, but also coped well with C-19. The government (led by Chancellor Angela Merkel) and the companies acted fast and intense. According to an Adecco report, Germany's government is one of the most successful and best-performing countries in fighting C-19.
Of course, also several German companies had to carry out significant redundancies, but many companies intensively use/d "short time work" (Kurzarbeit), to keep their well-trained staff on board. Interesting: According to a Randstad survey of 10,000+ German companies, 40% say that their business was/is not affected by the crisis at all. 4% even report a growth spurt.
In brief: The German labor market remained much more stable than expected and the enormous demand for staff like skilled workers, experienced professionals, specialists, managers and also young talents always was/is present in the minds of the German recruiters and employers. Therefore now they started, to push the German economy fast again to the high level it had before.
