Recruitment

Recruiting international professionals in their home country

We use a dedicated recruitment process that reflects both the individual interests of the professionals and the future employer's requirements for fit and preference.

Countries of origin of our professionals

To date, we have successfully placed and integrated more than 2,000 professionals in the German and Austrian labor markets. A number of countries of origin are especially in focus:

Tempton Truecare currently recruits professionals mainly from the Philippines, India, and Latin America.

Nursing professionals from the Philippines are highly sought after thanks to their internationally recognized, high-quality training and their positive approach to care. India is also gaining importance, thanks to thorough medical training and a high degree of adaptability.

The Tempton Truecare recruitment process

Tempton Truecare uses a dedicated recruitment process to get the fundamentals right from the very start of this complex placement journey. This begins with a preliminary selection of candidates through interviews, in which we assess professional and personal suitability and preference. We also conduct an assessment test that reviews motivation and fit.

Many steps lie between the first conversation and the successful integration of a professional into a German healthcare or social-services organization. We support the entire process.

We support the entire process.

1. Consultation

In an initial consultation, we give the interested employer in Germany or Austria a full overview of the entire Tempton Truecare process and its requirements. Before we begin recruitment and candidate selection, we prepare your individual needs analysis and align it with you.

2. Placement test and language courses

For preliminary selection, we conduct interviews to assess our candidates' professional and personal suitability; a supplementary assessment test further reviews motivation and fit. The selected professionals then take part in language courses, aiming to successfully pass the B2 examination via ÖSD, telc, or Goethe, or alternatively the nursing-specific language competence exam. Reaching genuine B2 proficiency is required before departure.

3. Matching

For an ideal match, we capture the individual requirements of both employers and candidates, taking into account professional and location preferences. After reviewing application documents, you get to know your candidates in a first video interview and can discuss questions and expectations. Alongside this, we continuously monitor the progress of our international talent.

4. Integration preparation

Immediately after completing their language courses, German nursing educators from our subsidiary, International Talent Academy, prepare professionals for the recognition examination while they are still in their home country. The goal is to maintain the B2 language level achieved right up until departure, while also preparing candidates as thoroughly as possible for working in Germany through integration workshops.

5. Visa / entry preparation

We handle all the steps needed to enable our professionals to enter Germany and access the labor market. This includes the recognition and visa procedures, certification and translation of required documents, flight booking, airport pickup, dealings with authorities, and much more.

6. Starting work

Before work begins, we discuss all necessary preparations with employers. To support this, we provide a comprehensive integration concept and offer integration seminars, helping your staff prepare as well as possible to welcome new international colleagues.

7. Professional recognition

In cooperation with the International Talent Academy, Tempton Truecare coordinates and organizes the entire professional recognition process. This includes preparation for the recognition examination, applying for education vouchers, and coordinating exam dates.

8. Ongoing support for professionals

Even after recognition and the start of employment, we continue to support our international talent. Through regular exchange with employers and placed professionals, we ensure lasting, ethically grounded support.
