Build international teams
Where can you still find well-qualified professionals whose skills align with the German job market? We have a global network connecting us to universities and other educational institutions. We advise you on how to attract and retain foreign professionals without impacting the local job market.
Recruit foreign professionals
With the right strategy, you can align the recruitment of foreign professionals with the retention of local workers. We advise you on potential network partners, identify any skill gaps, and help you close them effectively.
Visa procedures and compliance

Win-win IT projects with skilled professionals from Africa
In Africa, a vast reservoir of well-trained IT professionals is emerging, with many seeking job opportunities in Europe, either remotely or through relocation. We support access to these networks.
Looking for skilled workers for the energy sector?
In non-EU countries, there are many well-trained professionals whose qualifications can be recognized under the new Skilled Immigration Act. Recognition partnerships, for example, open up new pathways in this area.
Healthcare professionals are as valuable as gold—almost everywhere.
There are still regions where training exceeds local demand—Kenya is one such example. The migration agreement between Germany and Kenya has sparked a real boom among young people who are now enrolling in German language courses.
We support our clients in strengthening their workforce through sustainable and strategic recruitment solutions.
Our focus is always on creating win-win situations. Especially when recruiting skilled professionals from abroad, the issue of brain drain often arises. In addition to recruiting from other countries—a process admittedly lengthy—it always makes sense to address the retention and integration of skilled workers. With this in mind, we approach every project holistically.
Solutions for cities and regions
We surveyed 6,000 skilled workers in Germany about where they would most like to work and live. The responses provide valuable insights for cities aiming to understand how they can support local businesses in addressing the shortage of skilled labor.
Customized solutions through close cooperation
We have established partnerships with service providers in Africa, offering our clients exclusive access and cost advantages.
