Recruitment agency says Hyundai could have problems finding workers

The Czech Republic's biggest recruitment agency Trenkwalder Kappa People warned on Tuesday that South Korean car giant Hyundai could face problems recruiting the 3,000 workers needed for its future car plant in the east of the country. The warning came a day after Hyundai announced that it will site its first European factory at Nosovice with an investment of 800 million euros. TKP's Petra Rosselova said that the unemployed in the region would probably not meet the employer's demands and that 50% of the workers needed might have to be recruited from neighbouring Poland and Slovakia. The plant is to start production in October 2008.
