Quality seal for fair recruitment

For fair and safe recruitment

International recruitment of skilled professionals is no simple undertaking — its success depends heavily on the experience, process quality, and sense of responsibility of the staffing agency involved. Clear guidelines matter greatly to employers seeking to avoid poor decisions, because unclear contracts, a lack of transparency, and unrealistic promises lead not only to failures and disappointment, but can also directly jeopardize the well-being of international talent.

The Gütegemeinschaft "Anwerbung und Vermittlung von Pflegekräften aus dem Ausland e.V." (GAPA) and its seal "Fair Recruitment of Care Professionals Germany" act as a compass in this complex market. As a holder of this quality seal, and with more than 2,000 successful placements, Tempton Truecare has demonstrated that we recruit international professionals ethically, transparently, and fairly, on the basis of international standards.

Certification and recertification

To earn the quality seal, a company must undergo a comprehensive review. The required evidence is submitted to the auditing organization as follows:

  1. Audit: An independent auditor is appointed by the Gütegemeinschaft and conducts the first review round.
  2. Audit discussion: The auditor clarifies open questions, requests further documentation where necessary, or issues recommendations.
  3. Audit report: The auditor issues a final report, viewable in Ankaadia.
  4. Decision: The quality committee issues a recommendation, and the board decides immediately afterward.
  5. Award of the quality seal: On successful review, the company receives the certificate for two years and is listed on the website.
  6. After two years, the company must undergo recertification.

The RAL Gütegemeinschaft

To award the new RAL quality seal "Fair Recruitment of Care Professionals Germany," an association in the form of a Gütegemeinschaft (RAL) was established in 2023. Through the award of this seal, the RAL Gütegemeinschaft promotes the recruitment and placement of international professionals in a manner that meets a high ethical standard.

The Gütegemeinschaft implements quality assurance, appoints and trains independent auditors, advises members on applying for the seal, and awards the seal on the basis of audit reports.
