Case studies

A restaurant in a western Hungarian town had spent months looking for experienced kitchen professionals, while growing guest numbers put ever more pressure on the kitchen. The solution came through two skilled Filipino chefs — who, in a short time, confidently mastered the dishes of Hungarian cuisine as well.

A general contractor working in Budapest and Pest County saw several parallel projects put at risk by a shortage of skilled workers: on the Hungarian market it could not find enough bricklayers, carpenters and semi-skilled construction workers to meet its deadlines.
