Germany’s manufacturing and engineering sectors stand as pillars of its economy, driving innovation, exports, and job creation. However, these industries face a significant challenge: a growing labor shortage. The demand for skilled workers outstrips supply, particularly in specialized roles crucial for the industry’s advancement and competitiveness on a global scale. This gap poses a threat to individual companies and the broader economic landscape.
Workers from outside the EU are like a breath of fresh air for Germany’s manufacturing and engineering fields, facing tough labor shortages. They come with a variety of skills, work experience, theoretical background, new ideas, and a real eagerness to roll up their sleeves and get to work where there’s a real need for more hands. In industries that depend heavily on specialized knowledge and technical know-how, having people from different corners of the world join the team is more than just helpful—it’s a game-changer. They don’t just fill gaps; they bring sufficient help, new energy and insights that can help push innovation and growth to new levels.
However, integrating non-EU workers into the German workforce comes with its challenges, including navigating complex visa processes and ensuring mutual cultural and professional adaptation. This is where Bixter.Work steps in as a crucial facilitator.
Our international skilled workers are coming from:
We handle the task of locating the perfect candidate for your business needs, ensuring they have a strong foundation in both theory and practice, the right work ethic, and proficient English language skills.
At Bixter.Work, we take care of evaluating your workplace needs and the qualifications of international candidates to figure out the right type of visa they’ll need. Workers from outside the EU can come to Germany with a specific work and residence permit that’s linked to a particular job. Because there are many types of visas, and matching a candidate’s qualifications with German standards can be complicated, not to mention the paperwork for the visa application, hiring an international worker can seem daunting. But don’t worry—Bixter.Work handles everything from start to finish. We make sure the process is precise and smooth, so you can easily benefit from hiring international professionals.
It’s key to remember that bringing an employee from non-EU usually takes about 3 to 3.5 months because of the visa process. This time might get longer if authorities need to compare the employee’s education to German standards, and it also depends on how fast the migration office processes application, which can vary. Even with our experience and ability for approximate estimating when your new hire might arrive, we can’t promise an exact date because of these factors.
Also, it’s important to know that workers from outside the EU can’t start their jobs until they have the relevant work and residence permit issued for your workplace.
So, it’s really important for companies to think ahead and plan for this wait time in their hiring plans. By being practical and factoring in the visa process time, businesses can make sure they get the skilled workers they need without any unnecessary delays, all while following the rules.
In Germany, the typical workweek for employees is structured around 40 hours, providing a balance between work commitments and personal time. German labor laws also accommodate the possibility of overtime, catering to the diverse operational demands of businesses and the ambitions of employees looking for extra work opportunities. Both the base salary and overtime payments are strictly regulated by German legislation, guaranteeing a transparent and equitable compensation system. This not only protects employee rights but also offers employers clear guidelines for financial planning and payroll management.
In order to host Non-EU employees, adequate living conditions need to be provided by employers for a monthly rent. The rent needs to be affordable for the employees, as they will be paying it from their monthly salary.
Here is a list of requirements that need to be fulfilled:
