International recruitment
International candidates for companies in Germany
A wider search opens up more possibilities. We help you consider both the skills you need and the preparation involved in an international hire.
Widening your search effectively
International recruitment can complement your search when suitable local candidates are hard to reach. The role and your company's requirements remain the starting point.
Language skills suited to the role
The German language skills needed depend on the tasks, team and day-to-day communication. Levels such as A2, B1 or B2 provide guidance and should be assessed through conversation and appropriate evidence.
Qualifications and experience
We consider education, practical experience and the role's requirements together. Relevant certificates and employment records help provide a clear picture of a candidate's skills.
Recognition of professional qualifications
Some roles may require formal recognition of qualifications or a professional licence. This must be assessed for the specific profession and individual case. The decision rests with the responsible authorities.
Preparing documents
A CV, qualification certificates and, where needed, translations provide an important foundation. The documents actually required depend on the role and the relevant procedure.
Entry and possible visa procedures
Depending on the individual's circumstances, residence requirements and administrative steps may need to be clarified. We assist with preparation and coordination. Decisions and processing times rest with the responsible authorities; no particular outcome or start date is guaranteed.
Joining the company
Clear onboarding, named contacts and early discussions about everyday work and, where relevant, accommodation help everyone prepare. Allow enough time for these steps together with the candidate.
