Our services
The integration of nurses and skilled workers from abroad is a complex process that you should entrust to an experienced agency.
With a holistic approach we will guide you safely to your goal — from the initial selection of candidates to assistance with successful integration.
Recruting & placement
We take great care in pre-selection and matching of candidates. Through open communication, we create realistic expectations and a reliable basis.
Language qualification
Language and cultural training is the key — and every effort pays off here. Professional language as well as German working culture and everyday customs must be learned.
Visa & recognition
A well-structured document management with notarisations and translations paves the way to the visa. In regulated professions, our established contacts with the recognition authorities of the federal states pay off.
Arrival & integration
House hunting, bank account, dealing with the authorities … As experienced relocators, we accompany the many initial steps. Once on the job, the aim is to promote qualification and consolidate the integration.
