German companies, faced with a shortage of tech workers, are looking at Silicon Valley’s thousands of layoffs as an opportunity to find the top talent needed.

CPO of Cariad, which is the software subsidiary of automaker Volkswagen said “They fire, we hire. We have several hundred open positions in the U.S., in Europe and in China.”
According to IT industry group Bitkom, Germany has 137,000 vacant IT jobs.
