Germany: a more diverse and representative workforce for Berlin

The state of Berlin wants to be as representative as the population is diverse, and has set itself the goal that 35% of its 120,000 employees should have an immigrant background. This target is to be achieved by 2024. To make this happen, the city-state does not want to introduce a preference for hiring, but rather to persuade the many candidates who often do not apply because they are convinced that they won't be hired
