How it works

Predictable rather than promised fast.

Recruitment runs through partner structures on the ground: we act as intermediary and coordinator, and the employer remains the partner company in the country of origin. Valid work permits are a precondition for any assignment, and obtaining them in the country of origin takes several months; in return you know where you stand at every step. Assignments run through service, contract-for-work and subcontracting models, not through temporary staffing: that remains reserved for workers with an EU passport.

Support during the assignment
Our work does not end on the first working day: a dedicated, multilingual contact person stays available for the company and the worker.
Frequent questions

Vietnam and Asia, answered honestly.

How long does it take until Vietnamese workers are ready to start?

The honest answer: any assignment requires valid work permits, and obtaining them in the country of origin takes several months depending on the occupation and the federal state. That part is handled by the partner company in the country of origin. After the requirement analysis we give you a realistic schedule and report every interim step, from the selection in Vietnam to the first working day.

How are qualifications from Vietnam verified?

Through certificates, documented professional practice and work samples on the ground, with welders assessed by process (MAG, TIG, stick). On request we run video interviews together with your company before a decision is made.

Do you handle visa advice or dealings with the authorities?

No. We do not offer visa consulting or immigration services. The permits are the responsibility of the partner company in the country of origin, including a work permit and, where required, an A1 certificate; we act as intermediary and coordinator. Your company verifies legal eligibility to work, and we coordinate the registrations on the assignment side within the agreed scope.

How do language and support work during the assignment?

Candidates are prepared for the assignment, many speak English and, coming from Central Asia, frequently Russian; we support German courses. Throughout the assignment a multilingual contact person stays alongside the worker and the company.

Does the assignment run as temporary staffing?

No. Temporary staffing is reserved for workers with an EU passport. Workers from Vietnam, South Asia and Central Asia are deployed through service, contract-for-work and subcontracting models. We review every arrangement before signing; the employer of the workers remains the partner company in the country of origin, which is also responsible for the work permits.
