German Chancellor Olaf Scholz paid his two days visit to India and interacted with the Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi and top executives. During that, chancellor Scholz aimed to break down the barriers between the German and Indian labor market, in order to compensate German HR shortage by recruiting new qualified personnel.
Scholz mentioned about simplifying the issue of visas and intend to modernize the whole bureaucratic process in addition to legal modernization, while visiting India's Silicon Valley in Bengaluru.
Until now, expiring visas have been a major problem. To prevent this, learning German should not be a reason for issuing visas in the future. People should come to the country, speak English first and acquire German language later.
Due to home office awareness, which has taken place in Germany since the Corona pandemic, there is even the possibility that Indians may not even have to move to Germany. Especially the German IT sector, which is also predestined for remote work, can be enriched by Indian IT professionals.
To solve the problem, a mediator is needed to mediate between Indian and German personnel, thus symbolically representing a bridge between India and Germany.
MeJuvante is extending its full support towards Chancellor Scholz's initiative to hire employees from India for Germany. We believe the move is necessary to address the skills gap in the German workforce and promote their economic growth.
MeJuvante has been focusing on enabling and bridging the talent pool between Germany and India on a global platform since more than a decade.
We coordinate a range of services such as job postings, candidate searches, talent management, and skill assessments to connect the right candidates with the right opportunities for our various projects.
To ease the Visa issue, we are also promoting Offshore and Remote work solutions for our clients as an important diversity policy, India being one of the emerging markets and major IT hub, we decided to expand our operations to India and tap into the large pool of talented workforce and opportunities
By providing this platform for Indian and German talent to connect and collaborate, we are committed to bridge the gap between these two regions and create new opportunities for growth and development.
Our founder and CEO, Timo Traurig, has been vocal in this Company initiative, stating that "We need to think globally if we want to compete globally. Hiring Indian employees is a smart move that will benefit German companies in the long run."
To support the initiative, MeJuvante has also announced that they will be offering consulting services to German companies that are interested to setup their Company in India and vice versa. They will provide guidance on how to navigate the visa application process, identify top talent, and provide training opportunities for new hires.
Our support for the initiative is significant, as we have a large network of clients in Germany and have a strong reputation in the business community
The move to hire employees from India is not without its challenges, however. There are concerns about language barriers and cultural differences, as well as the need to ensure that employees are being paid fair wages and provided with adequate working conditions. As we are into this initiative since more than a decade, we are aware of these challenges and are work closely with our clients and travel partners to ensure that all legal, Visa and ethical standards are being met.
MeJuvante is in complete support for Scholz's initiative as the German business community is willing to embrace diversity and think outside the box when it comes to addressing the country's workforce needs.
With their help, it is possible that the hiring of Indian employees could become a more common practice in Germany and help promote economic growth for years to come.
