Bavaria combines Germany's densest automotive-supplier base with Alpine tourism and a large care sector — and many of its metal and electrical employers are covered by M+E collective agreements — where an employer is collectively bound and pays tariff, the § 6 salary-floor exception may apply. How Bavarian employers recruit from the Philippines.
Automotive technology, mechatronics and electrical trades — the three largest gaps the IW counts nationally — are concentrated in Bavaria's supplier belt from Ingolstadt to Regensburg and the Nuremberg metropolitan region; the Alps and Munich run on hospitality; the care sector grows with the population. Many Bavarian metal and electrical employers are covered by M+E collective agreements; where an employer is collectively bound and pays tariff, the § 6 salary-floor exception may apply.
Welders and metal workers, industrial mechanics, CNC machinists, electricians, automotive technicians for the supplier belt; SHK technicians; cooks and hotel staff; nurses under the Bayerisches Landesamt für Pflege's (LfP) recognition. IHK FOSA, the national IHK recognition body for industrial trades, sits in Nuremberg. Everything here is subject to applicable German recognition, immigration, licensing and labour-law requirements.
Recruitment in the Philippines runs through our own DMW-licensed agency, Prime Search Manpower Agency Inc. in Makati (licence DMW-027-LB-11182024). Your company is accredited at the Migrant Workers Office in Berlin — recruitment agreement, job order, master employment contract, commercial-register extract — and the verified file is registered with the Department of Migrant Workers. Every selected worker leaves Manila with a verified contract, medical clearance, pre-departure orientation and an Overseas Employment Certificate.
The Bayerisches Landesamt für Pflege (LfP), the competent authority for foreign nursing qualifications across Bavaria since 1 July 2023.
