placement procedure

The placement of skilled workers from abroad involves some extra steps compared to a domestic placement. This should not deter you, of course, as we take care of and accompany the entire process right up to the start of the job.

1. Needs assessment
In close consultation with you, we determine your need for specialised professionals and address your individual needs and requirements.
2. Job search
Presentation of anonymised CVs that have been pre-selected according to your requirements. Here you have the opportunity to select candidates of interest to you.
3. Conclusion of contract & presentation
If interested, conclusion of contract with MCC.
You will receive the complete CVs and interviews between you and the applicants will be organised. If requested, MCC can also accompany them.
4. Contract with applicant
You conclude a direct employment or training contract with the applicant. This contract is a prerequisite for initiating the following steps.
5. Accelerated skilled worker visa procedure
We prepare all the necessary documents for the accelerated procedure for skilled workers and officially initiate the procedure.
6. Recognition of the foreign qualification
The comparability of the foreign qualification is a prerequisite for the issuance of a visa for skilled workers from non-EU countries. The procedure for recognition is initiated by the Foreigners' Registration Office (Ausländerbehörde), within the framework of the accelerated procedure for skilled workers. This process usually takes about two months.
- Option A: Full equivalence
  Once full equivalence of the foreign qualification has been established, the skilled worker can practise the profession in Germany. In the case of a regulated profession, a licence to practise is required, but this is usually granted automatically.
- Option B: Partial equivalence
  If only partial equivalence of the foreign professional qualification has been established, so-called compensatory measures must be taken. However, this can be done in Germany, either through an adaptation course or a knowledge test. An employment relationship in the German health system can already be taken up after the visa has been granted. Special case: Doctors (see below).
7. Visa
After the granting of the preliminary approval for the visa application by the Foreigners' Registration Office, the visa application abroad follows by the applicant himself/herself. This step is of course also accompanied and organised by MCC. The applicant receives an accelerated appointment, which must take place within three weeks, and the application must be processed within three weeks.
8. Entry
We also support you and your new professional during the entry process. For example, we will help you find a place to live or, in the case of a trainee, a place at a vocational school.
9. Wait
Lean back and wait until the worker is ready to start.
10. Start
The new employee starts working with you!

costs

Our competitive placement fees are individually tailored to you, keeping you one step ahead of the competition. For information on other costs that may arise during the placement process, click here.

Language level

The language level plays a central role, especially in the placement of skilled workers from abroad in Germany. Here you will find all the information that is relevant for you.

It goes without saying that we ensure that all our applicants have a suitable language level to be able to find their way in the German labour market and in your company.

Language level

The legislator prescribes certain minimum requirements with regard to the German language level in regulated occupational groups. One of these regulated occupational groups is the medical field. Here, the legislator stipulates that a German language level of at least B2 must be present. This language level must be present at the latest when taking up the job or training position, which means that a skilled worker with a B1 level can already enter Germany and attain the required level in Germany.

Doctors are a special case. They have to pass a so-called specialist language examination in Germany, which corresponds to the C1 level. Accordingly, doctors usually have a German language level of at least C1, which is also confirmed by the specialist language examination.

We ensure for each individual specialist in our portfolio that he or she has the required language skills or can achieve them in good time before starting work.

Language certificates

To ensure that the stated German language skills of our professionals are a realistic or accurate reflection of the actual abilities, we only recognise certificates that meet the highest international standards. These certificates are; the Goethe-Zertifikat, the Zertifikat Deutsch from telc and the ÖSD Zertifikat. The following links will provide you with detailed information about the quality standards of the different providers.

Goethe-Zertifikat [https://www.goethe.de/de/spr/kup/prf/qua.html]
telc Certificate [https://www.telc.net/ueber-telc/was-wir-machen/qualitaetssicherung.html]
ÖSD certificate [https://www.osd.at/die-pruefungen/grundprinzipien-osd-pruefungen/]

In addition, we do not recognise partial language certificates, so our recognised language certificates must include all four skill sections (speaking, writing, reading, listening). In addition, language certificates must not be older than one year to ensure that they reflect the most up-to-date status of the professional.

Die Vergleichbarkeit der ausländischen Qualifikation ist Voraussetzung für die Erteilung eines Visums für Fachkräfte aus Nicht-EU-Staaten. Das Verfahren zur Anerkennung wird von der Ausländerbehörde, im Rahmen des beschleunigten Fachkräfteverfahrens, eingeleitet. Dieser Prozess dauert in der Regel zwei Monate.

Option A: Volle Gleichwertigkeit
Nach Feststellung einer vollen Gleichwertigkeit der ausländischen Qualifikation, kann die Fachkraft den Beruf in Deutschland ausüben. Im Falle eines reglementierten Berufes, bedarf es einer Berufsausübungserlaubnis, die jedoch in der Regel automatisch erteilt wird.

Option B: Teilweise Gleichwertigkeit
Wenn nur die teilweise Gleichwertigkeit der ausländischen Berufsqualifikation festgestellt wurde, müssen sogenannte Ausgleichsmaßnahmen vorgenommen werden. Dies kann jedoch in Deutschland erfolgen, entweder durch einen Anpassungslehrgang oder eine Kenntnisprüfung. Ein Arbeitsverhältnis im deutschen Gesundheitssystem kann bereits nach der Visaerteilung aufgenommen werden. Spezialfall: Ärzte

1How long does it usually take to place a skilled worker from a non-EU country in Germany?

The placement of a skilled worker from a non-EU country usually takes 3 to 4 months after the signing of the employment contract.

2How much does the placement of a skilled worker cost?

The placement fee is negotiated individually and depends on the gross salary, the occupational group and other factors. If a skilled worker is placed in Germany from a non-EU country, there is also a processing fee of €411.00 for the accelerated skilled worker procedure.

3What language level do skilled workers from abroad have when they are offered for placement by MCC?

Skilled workers from abroad have a German language level of at least B2 (at the latest by the time they take up the job or training position). Doctors usually have a German language level of at least C1.

4Does MCC only offer skilled workers from Germany?

No, we also offer professionals from the European Union and non-EU countries.

5How is it ensured that the professionals offered from abroad have qualifications comparable to those of domestic professionals?

In the case of skilled workers from other European countries, the common European standards in the requirements and training of the skilled workers ensure comparability. If the skilled worker is from a non-EU country, he or she goes through the so-called accelerated procedure for skilled workers, which includes recognition of the foreign qualification. Either a full equivalence is determined and the skilled worker can work immediately and without restriction on the German labour market, or a partial equivalence is determined and the skilled worker undergoes an adaptation measure free of charge in order to achieve the equivalent level.

6Does MCC only offer fully trained professionals?

No, we also offer applicants for apprenticeships.
