Kitzbühel Tourismus trotzt dem Mitarbeitermangel

Updated 12.08.2022

Kitzbühel Tourism takes the tight labour market situation very seriously and therefore actively supports Kitzbühel businesses with a recruiting programme to counteract the shortage of skilled workers

With responsibility for a successful future

In the course of the "Kitz Tourism Talents" project, the efforts of the last few weeks are now paying off with the first achievements. With targeted company coaching in employer branding, the latest technical tools, such as multi-posting software, and the use of social media, Kitzbühel Tourism and numerous partner businesses are defying the shortage of skilled workers and employees. The specially programmed applicant management platform enables member businesses to easily multipost vacancies on the most relevant platforms and social channels at the click of a button. In addition, the software simplifies communication with applicants and enables data protection-compliant recruiting at the click of a mouse. A specially developed app allows entrepreneurs to access applicant data and job profiles at any time. With their own recruiting coach ("reverse recruiting") and a specially created "talent pool", the Kitzbühel businesses are thus one step ahead of the competition.

The work pays off

The Lifesporthotel Hechenmoos is an example of initial success, where four positions were successfully filled with the help of the coaching programme. "The Lifesporthotel Hechenmoos came into a staff shortage due to various circumstances. Ms Pfisterer-Dumont was able to quickly and efficiently implement our developed recruiting strategy with the help of our job platform," says recruiting coach Max Prodinger explaining the situation. "The recruiting coach reacted quickly and competently to our request and we were able to fill four positions in our hotel immediately. Max Prodinger has a motivating and engaging way of working," Birgit Pfisterer-Dumont, owner of Lifesporthotel Hechenmoos, replies.

"Such success stories show us that we are on the right track with the topic of recruiting coaching and that we cover the needs of our businesses. We are one step ahead of other regions with this project," Stefan Pühringer, deputy managing director of Kitzbühel Tourism, says. In this spirit, many more success stories are to be written in order to strengthen the implementation of a successful future image of Kitzbühel.
