The skills shortage in the German healthcare sector has been worsening for many years: according to a study by PwC, almost 1.8 million vacancies can no longer be filled in 2035 due to a lack of qualified staff. This corresponds to a shortage of 35 percent. Many health and care facilities are already experiencing a severe supply bottleneck. Hospitals and other healthcare facilities are facing major challenges in their personnel management. Calmaroi's recruitment services are intended as a complementary component in the recruitment of examined specialists and trainees. Our close cooperation with nursing colleges in India offers our clients a broad-based candidate pool with different qualification specializations. Our reliable partner language schools ensure that all candidates have the legally required language skills. However, our service package not only includes the mere placement of candidates, we also cover the entire immigration process, supervise the specialists in their new place of work, provide accommodation on request and ensure the best possible integration on site.
The shortage of IT specialists continues to worsen. According to the trade association Bitkom, there were almost 150,000 vacancies for IT experts in German companies at the end of 2023, around nine percent more than in the previous year. The shortage is therefore increasingly becoming a systemic problem that is putting Germany further behind the international competition. However, there is not only a lack of jobs in the economy, but also in administration, where the shortage of skilled workers is massively slowing down digitalization, smart city strategies and eGovernment processes. Demographic change will further exacerbate the shortage in the coming years. Together with our partners in India, we can provide companies and administrations with targeted candidates with in-depth specialist knowledge. Our service package not only includes the pure placement of specialists, we also cover the entire immigration process, support the specialists in their new place of work, provide accommodation on request and ensure the best possible integration on site.
According to the industry association DeHoGa, the shortage of skilled workers in hotels, restaurants and the hospitality sector shows no sign of improvement. Just under 44,000 vacancies for skilled workers in hotel and catering professions are offset by only a good 29,000 suitably qualified unemployed people, reported the Competence Center for Securing Skilled Workers of the employer-oriented Institute of German Business (IW) in summer 2023. The hotel industry is particularly affected here, where 42.8 percent of vacancies cannot be filled with suitably qualified applicants. According to the study, the skills gap in the catering industry is greatest for chefs, with a shortage of 7,555 skilled workers nationwide in summer 2023. Calmaroi also offers well-trained candidates from abroad for the challenging segment of gastronomy and hospitality. Our service package not only includes the pure placement of skilled workers, we also cover the entire immigration process, support the skilled workers in their new place of work, provide accommodation on request and ensure the best possible integration on site.
