The workforce problem is not only an issue of Croatian tourism, but of the entire industry, especially European tourism. And as always, those who have the best conditions usually win in the market competition. European hotels from Austria, Germany and other European countries offer much better working conditions, not only wages, but also a stable and stimulating year-round business environment.
For the first time in history, the best hotels from Bavaria are coming to Croatia for labor. I guess that says enough about the quality of the workforce in Croatia, a quality that they know how to appreciate in Germany.
Namely, it is a tailor-made fair Hotel Job Fair which is organized just for them in Zagreb and Split on September 14 and 15.
The story surrounding the Hotel Job Fair began last year, when Petar Aračić and his partner offered the market a different model of job fairs in Belgrade, Sarajevo and Skopje, which turned out to be a complete success.
Namely, the advantage of a job fair conceived in this way is that candidates have the opportunity to talk with recruiters from the hotel one-on-one and immediately sign an employment contract and practically start working the next day.
Thanks to the success, the organizers were contacted directly by hoteliers from Bavaria gathered in an informal association, and in front of the Hotel Job Fair, they suggested that they create a tailor-made job fair just for them in Zagreb and Split.
Sold out. Win-Win. Great story.
