To be clear
What we do not promise.
The authorities alone decide on visas and recognition. We cannot promise an outcome.
We do not promise fixed timelines. The duration depends on the occupation, recognition, language level and the authorities' appointments.
We do not give legal advice. Legal advice comes only from lawyers.
Our fee and all other terms are set out in the contract with you. You receive it before you decide.

Common questions
What employers ask us.
It depends on the occupation, recognition, language level and the authorities' appointments, so we do not quote a fixed time. In the first call we go through your case step by step.
Costs depend on the occupation, the route and the scope, and you know them before you sign anything. All items are listed on the costs page.
We agree it with you for each role, as for some occupations the law requires sufficient German, for example for the nursing licence. We tell you in advance which language certificates the person has.
Yes. You hold the interviews and decide whom you hire.
With the Vorabzustimmung, the Federal Employment Agency can approve the employment before the visa application, and the employer applies. More in our article on the Vorabzustimmung.
Frequently asked questions

If someone drops out, we check a replacement search with you. The conditions are in your offer.
