A major crisis is happening in Malta and other European counties. There is a huge shortage of employees in many industries, but especially in the service industry. With tourism reaching its peaks during the hot months in Malta, many restaurants and hotel owners are struggling to find employees.
Authorities indicate that supplying multiple applications at once is normally flagged, so employers and recruitment agencies are therefore advised to focus their efforts on quality of applicants rather than quantity. Companies and recruitment agencies are urged to source employees more efficiently.
Despite that fact there is no country that is more favoured than others when it comes to the issuance of work permits, the Maltese government has several agreements with certain countries to make the process of obtaining work permits more efficiently.
When sourcing employees it is important to follow certain standards and procedures such as that the employer should make direct contact with the prospective candidates, confirm backgrounds checks, ask on intention to work in Malta and any future plans, and ensure that the qualifications match the job description you have presented to the prospective employees. Once again, as mentioned above, it is not advisable to apply in bulk. Applying wisely will give you higher chances of obtaining an ‘Approval in Principle’ for your new Third Country Nationals employees
