Our principles (DE) →Not only in healthcare and nursing, but in many other industries too, hiring international professionals is supported by funding programmes. Since each German federal state has its own programmes with different requirements, we provide individual advice on which funding options apply to your company.
We identify which federal, state or industry programmes can help co-finance the cost of international recruitment for your company — regardless of industry.
Since the funding landscape differs between German federal states, we specifically review the programmes available at your company's location.
Advice on billing with care insurance funds and classifying costs within your hospital budget.
Note: Actual funding and billing eligibility depends on the individual case, federal state, industry and payer. We provide individual advice and refer you to specialised partners for final legal and tax review where needed.
