What we handle

End-to-end support, from selection to the professional licence to practise.

International recruitment rarely fails because of the professionals. It fails when many individual steps have to be managed: selection, language, recognition, visa, arrival. We bring these steps together for you in a single process, with one dedicated point of contact. Here you can read what each of our four services includes and what you, as an employer, gain from it.

Search & selection

Before a professional is introduced to you, we check whether their qualification can be recognised in Germany at all. This way, you do not hold interviews with candidates whose path later fails at the recognition stage.

What's included

  • Searching for qualified physiotherapists from non-EU countries
  • Reviewing the qualification, professional accreditation and professional experience
  • Reviewing the documents with a view to the later equivalence assessment (the MPhG)
  • Assessing the current level of language
  • Preparing a clear profile for each candidate

How we work

Every professional goes through a fixed professional and language pre-selection. Whether official documents are genuine is checked by qualified people, not by software. You receive only profiles that match your position and whose qualification can, in our assessment, be recognised. Not volume, but pre-selection.

Your outcome

You speak only with a few, truly suitable candidates and save yourself weeks of screening and preliminary review. The risk of investing time and money in a procedure that fails at the recognition stage is reduced from the very start.

Language (B2)

Language is the most common bottleneck and, at the same time, a prerequisite for the professional licence to practise. We organise the German lessons up to the required level and align them with the requirements of your location.

What's included

  • Organising German lessons up to CEFR level B2, the nationwide standard in Germany for the professional licence to practise in physiotherapy
  • Allowing for a specialist language examination, should your federal state additionally require one
  • Aligning language progress with the schedule for recognition and the visa

How we work

We clarify in advance which language requirements apply at your location, rather than planning in general terms. There is no general C1 requirement for physiotherapists; it applies only to certain academic healthcare professions such as doctors.

Your outcome

The professional reaches the level of language that their professional licence to practise requires and can communicate with patients and the team from day one.

Recognition & visa

Physiotherapy is a regulated profession: without a state professional licence to practise, no one may work as a physiotherapist in Germany. We prepare and steer the procedure. The decision itself is made by the authority.

What's included

  • Support with the equivalence assessment under the MPhG (the German Masseur and Physiotherapist Act) and the PhysTh-APrV
  • Preparing and compiling all documents for the competent recognition authority of the federal state
  • Support with any adaptation measure that may be required (adaptation course or knowledge examination)
  • Support with the fast-track procedure for skilled workers under Section 81a of the German Residence Act (AufenthG), which you initiate as the employer
  • Coordinating appointments, deadlines and correspondence with the authorities

How we work

We coordinate. The decision on recognition and residence is made solely by the respective competent authority. We do not give guarantees for official decisions. Instead, we reduce the risk from the outset: through the pre-selection of suitable profiles and the early clarification of all requirements.

Your outcome

You do not have to familiarise yourself with statutes and forms. We keep documents, deadlines and appointments together; your own effort stays small and predictable.

Integration

A hire only becomes a long-term placement when the arrival succeeds. We support the transition into everyday working and private life in Germany.

What's included

  • Support with relocation and dealings with the authorities (registration, bank account, insurance and the like)
  • Support with settling in professionally at the workplace
  • Support with settling in socially in the new environment
  • Support up to the granting of the professional licence to practise

How we work

We do not stop after the placement; we remain your point of contact until the professional has settled in professionally and socially. We agree the precise scope of this support with you.

Your outcome

The professional stays because the start succeeds. Your position is filled for the long term, your team is relieved, and the risk of soon having to search again is significantly reduced.
