Immigration covers all forms of migration into Germany. From a labour-market perspective it is central: it partially compensates demographic change and fills gaps in shortage occupations. Main routes are EU free movement, the Skilled Immigration Act, residence rights for students, family reunion, asylum and humanitarian admission.
For the labour market this means a growing diversity of qualifications, languages and biographies. Critical success factors are the recognition of foreign credentials, language integration, cultural openness of employers and fair selection processes. Where this works, companies benefit massively; where it fails, potential remains untapped.
For migrants themselves, job search is often particularly challenging: incomplete networks, formal hurdles, experiences of discrimination. Counselling services such as municipal welcome centres, credential recognition services and integration courses help.
Lunigi also addresses candidates with international backgrounds – curated roles are suggested without prejudice, purely on the basis of profile and requirements.
