Tailored recruitment solutions for the event industry
The event industry has long faced a shortage of skilled professionals — a challenge that the COVID-19 pandemic has only intensified.
According to the “Landkarte der Veranstaltungswirtschaft” (Event Industry Map), the German event industry employed around 1.13 million people before the pandemic. During the COVID years, that number fell dramatically — by up to 50–60% across Europe.
Although many parts of the industry have recovered, structural bottlenecks persist — with technical specialists, event technicians, project managers, and experts in lighting, stage, acoustics, and logistics being especially sought after.
A look at recent survey data highlights the urgency of the situation: in an ifo survey, 40% of event organisers stated that they are unable to find suitable employees — compared to 64% during the summer months of 2022. Industry reports also indicate that up to 70% of event venues are currently searching for technical specialists.
In such a competitive market, Indeed provides tremendous potential — offering a fast, modern application process and helping employers strengthen their brand visibility. This makes it easier for event organizers to reach and attract talent that is otherwise hard to find.
