Whether IT specialists or marketing experts – the search for specialists is becoming increasingly difficult for start-ups in Germany. In a survey by the Federal Association of German Start-ups, a good half of the young companies stated that the lack of qualified people was a big or very big problem. For start-ups with at least 25 employees, it was even 85 percent. The majority of all companies (68 percent) believe that the problem of the shortage of skilled workers has grown over the past twelve months. Accordingly, the gap in well-trained people, for example for IT, marketing, sales and accounting, is the biggest hurdle for the business – ahead of financing bottlenecks.
