Managers Mention

This section includes professional insights from our Sales Managers/ Managing consultants, offering their perspectives on what is influencing recruitment demand in their sector.

"The primary market focus for g2's Munich office is Industrial Automation, for us this encompasses skillsets ranging from Embedded Software across to DevOps Engineering, with a separate team focused on Robotics & Automation Engineering.

We have seen an increase in demand over Q1 of 2024, we believe this has been caused by a variety of external factors including but not limited too; client's budgets being reset/clarified from the beginning of the calendar year, the sentiment in the German economy changing in a positive manner & Global political uncertainty having less of an influence in project execution.

We are also seeing further innovation taking place in previously lagging technical sectors that are seeing benefits from data driven and digitalization processes across Germany, a trend that we see continuing for a long period.

g2 Recruitment Munich supply project teams so we can assist clients in multiple avenues when starting projects and bringing them through to completion, this will be in highly driven software development areas but also in areas such as electrical & mechanical commissioning areas if the project demands it."

-James Craigen, Head of Munich - EU Automation

Market Disruptors 

This section offers insight from our Business Development team about market disruptors that are shaking up the world of Recruitment.

'EU initiatives such as the "European Green Deal" and the "Renewable Energy Directive" are driving significant growth and investment in renewable energy projects.

The projects are either being awarded to SMEs and Scale-Ups specializing in solar, wind, and other renewable energy technologies, who are in turn having to recruit quickly for staff to cope with project demand, or awarded to large established engineering firms who have to shift their core business and workforce in order to take on renewable energy projects and often they won't have the necessary expertise internally to complete such projects.

g2 Recruitment can assist here as we have a database of candidate with niche expertise compiled from candidates found on LinkedIn Recruiter, renewable energy specific job boards and attending networking events such as the World Hydrogen Summit.'

-Steffan Howells, Business Development Manager
