Overview
- Five weeks before the markets open, about 30 exhibitors met prospective staff at the World Trade Center to fill seasonal roles across Dresden.
- Association leaders say the hiring climate has eased compared with recent years, with up to 15 full-time positions still open among 50 member businesses and strong interest in Minijobs.
- Merchants are recruiting for sales, kitchen, cleaning, and transport and logistics, reflecting both full-time needs and short hourly shifts.
- Radeberger Likörfabrik joined the city’s event for the first time and is seeking three to four sellers plus additional hourly helpers for its Striezelmarkt stand.
- Dresden’s centralized approach contrasts with Leipzig and Chemnitz, where no comparable fair exists and Leipzig’s market still employs at least 3,000 people each year.
