The shortage of specialists in Germany affects us as a middle-sized family-owned business severely. During the last years we've made the experience that we need to much longer than before to find a suitable candidate for a vacant position. Today we need between 6 and 12 months. Due to the vacant position our times of delivery may be prolonged and our employees have to perform additional work during this period of searching. You'll find an interview with our managing director Ms. Grabowski regarding this issue at RP-Online (only available in German).
