The most important questions about our placement process, for employers and for nursing professionals.
For professionals from our existing, already pre-qualified pool, we typically plan around 6 months from the needs assessment to the first day on the job. Language training and recognition procedures run in parallel and are, for these candidates, already well advanced or complete.
For candidates from our pool, language training and recognition are already under way, so it goes faster for facilities. If a professional is recruited entirely from scratch, we plan around 12 to 13 months from the first application to entry into Germany, since language training (6 to 9 months) and the recognition procedure (6 to 12 months, depending on the state) run in parallel but start from zero.
We work with, among others, Sana Kliniken AG, Diakonie, Helios, AWO, DRK, and the Main-Kinzig-Kliniken. On request, we're happy to provide further references.
Our focus is on the Philippines and India. We have been actively placing international nursing professionals from these regions since 2018.

We coordinate the credential evaluation, the deficiency notice and, if needed, an adaptation measure or knowledge test with the responsible state authority. Depending on the state, this step usually takes 6 to 12 months and runs in parallel with your language course, so your overall waiting time typically doesn't get any longer as a result.
