Our Services

One Point of Contact for Every Step Toward Starting Work

International recruitment involves more than arranging an employment contract. Qualifications, language, recognition, entry into Germany, and integration into the workplace all need to align. We coordinate these steps with your facility and the nursing professional, making clear who is responsible for each task.

Selection Based on Your Staffing Needs

We discuss areas of deployment, qualification requirements, and the desired start date. We then present suitable profiles and arrange personal discussions with your facility.

Language and Recognition

We assist with language preparation and compiling documents for the recognition process. The steps required depend on the individual's qualifications and the authority responsible.

Entry into Germany and Starting Work

We coordinate visa and travel preparations and agree on the transition into your facility. This includes clear information on the start of employment, initial administrative steps, and the relevant contacts.

Compensatory Measures and Integration

If a compensatory measure is needed, we include it in the planning at an early stage. Together with your facility, we clarify the next steps toward professional recognition and provide support with settling into working and private life.
