How We Help You Find and Hire International Employees
We work with companies that have never hired internationally before. Our process gives you clarity from the start to about what happens when, and what we take off your hands.
Free Initial Consultation
We analyze your needs and honestly outline the risks, costs, and timelines associated with international hiring, before you make any commitments.
Candidate Selection Through Partner Networks
We draw on our network of foreign universities, training centers, and partner institutions. All candidates are prepared to meet German qualification and language standards.
We Handle the Bureaucratic Process
Recognition procedures, visa applications, communication with authorities — we manage everything operationally. Your team receives clear status updates, but never has to file an application or contact an authority themselves.
Integration & Long-Term Retention
Recruitment alone is not enough. We support the onboarding of your new employees and help you build lasting retention structures, because sustainable hiring is our model.

We are a talent mobility company that advises small and medium-sized businesses on hiring employees from non-EU countries, and we take over the entire operational bureaucracy process: recognition procedures, visa applications, communication with authorities, and integration.
Our focus is on industries with a high demand for skilled workers. We work across sectors and currently run projects in transport and logistics, IT, electrical engineering, and apprenticeship-based businesses. Our clients are small and medium-sized companies in Germany that want to hire international skilled workers, especially those with little or no experience in international recruitment. We support them from the first step through to successful hiring.
Through expert guidance, Terratalent helps companies identify the right international skilled workers, navigate complex recognition and visa procedures, and build sustainable recruiting structures, so they can focus on their core business while we handle the rest.
The initial consultation is free and non-binding. We explain honestly what the process involves, what it costs, and what risks exist before you make any decision. It is not a sales pitch.
No. We do not provide legal advice. We manage the operational process and offer structured guidance on process, costs, and risks. A lawyer is available in the background, but our product is clear structure, not a legal opinion.
That depends on the country of origin, the profession, and the recognition procedure. For truck drivers, we typically achieve job readiness in around 10 weeks. In the initial consultation, we clarify the realistic timeline for your specific case.
