Skilled workers from India.
Carefully recruited, truly at home in Germany.
We connect employers in nursing, hospitality, food service, retail and construction & trades with vetted professionals — from on-site selection to their first day on the job with you.
Arrive · Recruit · Advance.
Three letters, one promise — a worker’s entire journey, all from one source.
Arrive
Arriving in Germany: visa, language, authorities and housing. We bring skilled workers here in an orderly way — through to their first day with you.
Recruit
Targeted recruiting: vetted selection directly in India, compliant and with no restrictive contracts.
Advance
Advancing: recognition, support and development beyond the start — so your people stay and grow.
Vacancies cost revenue every month. We bring reinforcements — carefully selected and brought to Germany in an orderly way.

Based in Wiesloch (Heidelberg/Mannheim area), part of the BLISS Group — with a solid selection network in India behind every placement.

What it costs — no hide-and-seek.
Guide prices for 2026, all amounts net plus 19% VAT. From five placements per year we negotiate tiered pricing.
All amounts net plus 19% VAT. Final terms depend on profile and scope and are set out in the offer. In nursing, part of the recruitment can be refinanced via the long-term care funds.
Properly set up — verifiable.
Legally sound recruitment is not a promise but an obligation. These are the rules we align ourselves with.
From jobseekers only a legally tightly capped fee is permitted — no advance, payment only after the employment contract. If the limit is exceeded, the agreement is entirely void.
The WHO list recruitment ban covers 55 countries — India is not among them. Recruiting nurses is therefore permitted.
Fast-track skilled-worker procedure. We handle the procedure on your behalf and shorten the time to entry.
Recognition partnership: qualified employment even before full recognition. Especially relevant for construction and trades.
The Professional Qualifications Assessment Act governs recognition of qualifications obtained abroad. We manage the recognition procedure for your workers.
This information summarises the legal framework in general terms and does not replace individual legal or tax advice.
