Head of Recruiting
The skilled labor shortage slows down the German construction industry – yet the European job market offers tremendous opportunities. With our EU recruiting, we connect construction companies directly with qualified specialists from abroad, from engineers to skilled workers. This creates sustainable solutions for your urgent staffing needs.
Our recipe for success: a strong local network, cultural sensitivity, and personal support. We manage the entire process – from targeted pre-selection to successful onboarding. Because long-term placements require more than qualifications: values, mindset, and teamwork are equally crucial.
As Head of Recruiting at Riverstate, my mission is to bring people and companies together – with experience, tact, and the belief that the right hire makes a lasting difference. The European labor market holds vast potential that German companies have yet to fully utilize.
Let’s change that and future-proof your business!
The shortage of skilled workers affects many industries, especially construction. While suitable candidates are often scarce in Germany, numerous qualified specialists are available in Poland and other EU countries. However, cross-border recruiting presents challenges such as language barriers, cultural differences, and bureaucratic hurdles. This is exactly where Riverstate’s EU Recruiting comes in — as a reliable partner for medium-sized companies.
As recruiting specialists for engineering and construction, we know the requirements of the German construction industry inside out. Our EU Recruiting combines proven search processes with deep market knowledge in Poland and other EU countries.
Our local team speaks the candidates’ language and uses country-specific search methods that work best — from personal networks and local platforms to radio campaigns.
At the same time, we relieve employers of bureaucratic burdens, support candidates in their native language, and ensure smooth integration. This way, you secure the right employees without hassle from international barriers.
Our proven process ensures efficient recruitment and seamless integration of qualified skilled workers from Eastern Europe for your construction projects. From thorough vetting to deployment, we manage every step precisely to guarantee reliable talent and sustainable project success.
Poland has many qualified specialists who are in high demand in Germany — for example, concrete and reinforced concrete workers, construction machinery operators, excavator drivers, masons, and road builders. Most already have international experience and are open to a professional future in Germany.
We place workers from Poland and other EU countries across various industries, especially in construction. This includes civil engineering and road builders, individual specialists or entire teams, as well as many other skilled workers from Eastern Europe and technical experts.
Yes, we place not only individuals but also well-coordinated crews and teams that have already worked together. This shortens onboarding time and increases efficiency on site.
The biggest hurdle for many companies is the administrative requirements associated with hiring foreign specialists for construction projects. We take care of all important formalities such as work permits, residence permits, social security, and registration, making the entire process easy for employers.
Our pre-selection goes far beyond professional qualifications. In addition to job suitability, we assess values, mentality, and teamwork skills. Moreover, you benefit from our strong network and personal recommendations, ensuring a precise match between candidates and your company culture.
Our certifications are a testament to our commitment, quality,
and your confidence when partnering with Riverstate.
