The labour market situation in 2017 has made it increasingly urgent for us to find solutions to recruit productive workers. It was becoming increasingly difficult, almost impossible, to meet our staffing needs with candidates from Hungary, despite the fact that our wages were well-conditioned compared to those of our neighbouring companies.

For years, we have been employing Hungarian-speaking workers from outside the country, but this is no longer sufficient to meet customer orders safely and on time.

We have found a solution by employing workers from third countries. Of course, it was not an easy start, it was an extra task for almost every department of the company, apart from HR, to prepare for the reception of non-Hungarian speaking employees in all respects, but we know now that it was a very good decision! Their integration went more smoothly than expected.

Those already working with us quickly noticed that the workers from Ukraine are hard-working, with a strong desire to prove themselves. Communication difficulties are overcome by using “priority” interpreters among our employees. Recruitment and obtaining work permits abroad is handled by Moson’s HR team, so it is not an extra burden compared to the past. We now work with more than three hundred third-country nationals.

Almost 8 months of experience show that employees are motivated and turnover is lower, so we are sure to benefit from this opportunity in the long term.”
