Employers stuck in place? Knowledge sector recruitment between regional embeddedness and internationalization
Employers are of critical importance in shaping flows of workers. This paper examines how larger employers in knowledge-intensive industries tackle demand for a high-skilled workforce within their specific spatial context. The empirical material stems from a qualitative study of employers in an older industrial German city. The analysis focuses on three interrelated aspects of human resource management: experiences with shortages of high-skilled labour; scales of recruitment; and workforce diversity. It finds that the spatial setting is an important factor, yet the degree by which employers are shaped by it depends on the type of employer and its level of internationalization.
