The candidate signs — and never arrives
Support breaks down between contract signature and departure, so candidates withdraw or move to another provider.
International Nursing RecruitmentFrom a verified profile to a stable start in your team
DokTing handles the operational coordination of recognition, entry and onboarding for international nursing professionals. Your HR department gets a fixed contact person, transparent case status and clearly defined next steps.
Where international recruitment fails
⏳
Months lost between recognition and the embassy
Late-discovered missing documents and unmonitored deadlines extend the path without any real reason.
▤
Heavy administrative load on HR
Correspondence in several languages, incomplete documents and scattered appointments consume internal capacity.
↺
Early resignation after arrival
Missing housing, open registrations and little support in the first weeks lead to withdrawal despite successful hiring.

International nursing recruitment – clear rules
For health and nursing professions, private recruitment in the countries listed in the Annex to the German Employment Regulation and placement from those countries is excluded under § 38 BeschV; these activities are reserved to the Federal Employment Agency. What matters is the actual recruitment and placement situation, not nationality alone.
In cross-border placement we inform you in writing, before the employment contract is concluded and at our expense, about the employer, the working conditions and advisory services in accordance with § 299 SGB III – in your language or a language you understand.
Official sources: § 38 BeschV (official text) · § 299 SGB III (official text)
Employer enquiry
Send us your institution's details and your needs, and you will receive a non-binding proposal for cooperation.
Transparency and fair recruitment
- The nurse pays no recruitment or placement fees.
- DokTing's fee is borne by the employer under the contract.
- External costs are shown separately.
- The country of recruitment and regulatory restrictions are checked before a case starts.
- No guarantee of a visa or recognition.
- No data sharing without a legal basis and appropriate consent.
- We do not handle individual legal questions ourselves; for these we refer to authorised legal advice.
Our processes follow the Employer-Pays principle and the standards of fair and transparent recruitment.
