Care worker shortage in Germany and the business of private recruitment agencies | DW Documentary

- With a shortage of care workers in Germany and a deserted job market, medical institutions are increasingly recruiting qualified staff from abroad.
The majority of foreign nurses are hired through recruitment agencies, which is a lucrative business. Clinics can pay up to 21,000 euros for the recruitment of just one nurse. But the market is completely unregulated.
"We wouldn’t manage without international care workers", says the head of nursing at a large hospital. In 2020 there were around 36,000 vacancies in the nursing sector. The number of foreign care workers has risen dramatically in recent years. Last year, around 208,000 of the nurses were non-German nationals, almost three times as many as in 2013. More than half of them come from non-EU countries such as Bosnia, Serbia, and the Philippines, but also from Latin America.
How does the business of recruiting foreign nurses work? Reporter Carolin Hentschel takes a look behind the scenes of the recruitment industry. The agencies don’t usually charge the nurses for their services, which include finding them a job contract with a German clinic, a German language course, assisting them in dealing with authorities, and looking for accommodation. But their recruitment contracts often include hidden costs and commitment clauses. If things don’t go as smoothly as planned, the care workers may end up having to shell out several thousand euros - a sum most cannot afford. Christiane Tenbensel from the "Support Fair Integration" project in Dortmund gives advice daily to care workers recruited for the German market. In many cases, the nurses are under great mental and physical strain and seek help with their debts.
Politicians are aware of the problems on the recruitment market, but they favor a voluntary system instead of creating binding legal regulations. Agencies which recruit in compliance with fair and ethical standards will soon be able to apply for a voluntary seal of quality. Is this the solution?

For decades, many Western countries have relied on foreign workers for cheap labour instead of training locals and paying them adequately. This is why local university/college grads struggle to get jobs in their field. They expect to be paid fairly and treated decently and know their legal rights. Foreign workers are easier to exploit, plus the cost of their training was paid by someone else. The promise of a "better life" in the West has often been enough to lure them.
But that strategy is finally playing out. We are due for reckoning in the labour market.
The truth is that the western governments do not invest in education of the young people,because is cheap to employ ready qualified (cheap).
Yeah, cheap is the best. Your country is helping poor countries. So its good right? Right?
@@ryanastillero4693 My country??? Yes our politicians help the west by under paying our nurses pushing them to go abroad and yes it is the cheap option .No investment in qualifying their own.Which part of my statement do you object?
The west have high unemployment because the labor market don’t try to cater the unemployed into different jobs with easy formation
This has been happening since transatlantic slave trade. When many freedmen we’re the new skilled labor force, after years of working, like normal, they expected more pay but instead over the centuries the west have taken advantage of migrants to do the same jobs for less. And it still happens in this day except now it’s a problem for all working class people from all groups. All anyone can say to the new comers is welcome, the end of the line is that way 👉🏻🚶🏿♂️🚶🏾♀️🚶🏻🚶🏻♀️👨🏼🦼🚶🏻🚶🏻♀️👩🦯🚶🏻👩🏼🦽🚶🏻🚶🏻🚶🏻🚶🏻
Ah the good old story of employers who just can figure out why they cant find any staff willing to work for 10 euro's an hour in a city where a 1-bedroom appartment is 1200 euros a month.
EXACTLY: Old story in Germany when it comes to heath care workers ....
all skill shortages can be traced to that i say... same with trucks in UK ..or retail world over
The ECB & FED decided for us, as they are democratically elected officials that we want jobs at all costs. Hence they minted a few trillion to buy bonds from banks to give them liquidity to give out loans to increase economic activity and hence jobs. What happened was we got a lot more low paid jobs almost no wage increases last 10 years while asset prices sky rocketed. Essentially cheapening labor income vs capital income. Therefore you end up with extremely high house prices, rents which are not reflected in inflation figures because those are not an objective measure but a subjective number. Yes subjective, inflation is subjective! How? It is a weighted sum, the keyword is weighted, how is it weighted? Oh, that's the juicy part, it is weighted according to whatever narrative they want to support. The narrative was the economy is weak and needs central banks to print money and infuse it in the financial system. Of course this benefits every day workers, for sure, they are the ones awarded stock options for their labor. Duh!
You don't need to live in the city to work in the city, sounds like you either have a traffic issue or bs issue to push a bs view
@@legel93 Most people don't understand what fiat currency or govt induced inflation tax means. Did they teach us those in schools, no right. Because they want us to be slaves for these corporations.
DW produces some of the best documentaries around.
"Why is there anti white semitism ? Because most coloninal imperialist Yidds are anti black Shem Ham and Japheth.".....
Philippines have managed to minimize this problem by creating POEA (Philippine Overseas Employment Administration). All recruitment agencies in the country are required to have license from POEA to operate. List of licensed agencies are always posted and updated so people can avoid being scammed.
I'm a nurse here in USA. Have been for 20+ years. It is a very high stress level job also here in the USA and I'm more than sure it that way world wide. I believe the reason for the nursing shortage is because we are now taking care of the baby boomers from WW2. They are now the elderly and getting ill and dieing. It's a huge mass of people when WW2 ended and soldiers during that time went home to their families and started having children. Hence "the baby boom." Well, now all those babies are now elderly. To many people to take care of. Plus, the battle of the covid virus multiplies the demand of nurses at this time. Take in count the low pay, poor benefits, overworked shifts because there is no one to replace you, risking your own life to covid and the burn out. These are the reasons why our profession is slowly dieing and no one wants to be a nurse anymore also contributing to the shortage. Period.
With 3K rent a month this is not surprising. Housing is becoming unaffordable in Europe.
It’s not just Germany but the whole world in understaffed!
Please be kind!
Good one 👍👍👍
Who takes care of us? Our assets. Work all your life to pay off a house that you use to pay off your care bills. Absolute joke!
And the big climate cost is not even considered yet.
I think over 20 years China will be more advanced then Europe. With some blackouts paired with some other "pandemics" Germany will look like 1800 again. Who knows? As long as we think we can safe the world.
Health care staff should be more demanding. There's a shortage and great risk in the Job.
If someone wants you they should pay for your training and accomodation is You who are wanted.
True, yet a lot of people are unaware of that, especially in poorer countries.
21:13 I'm glad the victims were freed from their unjust shackles by participating in the documentary. Truly an admirable move by Bad Wildungen clinic!
As a latin american I find this outrageous, how come now applicants owe money to these agencies which profit with lives without any liability? This is modern slavery and a total dissapointment of German institutions. We use to admire the integrity and righteousness of Germany back in our countries but it seems there is always some bad apples in the basket or as we say in Mexico "en todos lados se cuecen habas".
@Leo Rodríguez Digital Art the fact you have taken the time out to type what u said in two languages shows your caring and understanding character treat and effective universal communicator. As a USA citizen thank you so much for sacrificing 10 years of you valuable time and effort. We are blessed to have had the privilege to of had you and hope you know you appreciateded.
Official documents are safer to deal with, rather than private sector contracts.
So they fired their staff and are now complaining about the mess they made. I feel bad for the workers they betrayed, and the nations whose health care workers who bent the knee are being taken away.
are you talking about the unvaccinated ? we are better off without them
@@johney3734 Oh, so do you regularly discriminate on the basis of genetic characteristics? Do you think of yourself as a human rights abuser, or do you lack introspection?
@@johney3734 ok I will play.... how is an unvaccinated covid person a threat to you personally?
@@joshbeaulieu7408 wwhat!!!!??? "discriminate on the basis of genetic characteristics" were you born a flat earth anti vaxxer? NO you chose to be!!!! human rights abuser is nuts as well.... the nurses lost there jobs... we did not round them up put them in trains to camps.. you are a drama queen
@@jimair4955 the unvacated are walking sickness meat bags.. if you are in hospital fighting for your life for something other than covid,, the last thing you need is an unvacated nurse giving you covid as well (break trough infections in the immune compromised )
It's happening here in Canada too. I am Canadian-born and frequently see international health care workers. While I do not mind since there is a desperate need, the government needs to act by allowing wage increases, particularly for nurses and nursing aides. The industry needs to make it attractive to domestic workers as well by improving working conditions (Staffing ratios and wages). I also agree there should only be the required language of English or French only spoken on the floor unless a patient does not speak English or French because foreign languages on the floor make it a barrier for non-speakers such as myself. I find some of these international workers have little to no interest in assimilating to the local population and that just creates a sub-society.
This is not strictly a matter of wages. Candidates are being turned away at an educational entry level because the system currently does not have the capacity to train new hires. A shortage of workers has caused increased working hours and responsibilities as such they are less likely to train people.
@@jonfox4022 Wages ARE an issue for health care workers in Canada. The government of Ontario actually passed a law limiting pay increases for nurses and other health care workers (but not police hmmmm). This is driving people out of the field, and fewer people are going into it.
while in USA required to learn spanish
while i see your point of making sure that these foreign med. workers do need to have certain proficiency in English in order to work in a Canadian hospital, i don't see a problem for these people not to assimilate to the local population. I hardly see Canadians, Brits, Americans who live and make tons of cash just because they are white in my city ever have an interest to learn our local language either. And i never see it a problem. The less one tries to integrate into the country, the easier one can do it. It happens naturally.
I don't care which country you are hired it should be internationally obliged to have the contract in the country's language (sure) and the language of the professional been hired!
the salaries are lets say 2000 euro net on median, rdecent rent is sky high now 600-800, add extra costs and bills to pay and you know why their OWN people don't want these jobs
are you saying they earn 2k per month or bi-weekly?
I don't understand, how is it that there is soooooo much unbalanceness in everything, but yet we humans continue to bring more life. Which makes things worse.
Mis management
Translation… staff got laid off because they wouldn’t take the jab.
This started long before C19.
@@SuperAnatolli yes you're right but the jab mandate was used as way to fire people without compensating them. Absolutely disgusting
I have few nurse friends who applied to Germany, and they were just started to learn Deutsch! And I hope they'll passed and help!
Philippines, as an always target of DW when they called our government that they messed up handling the covid pandemic, is now, fortunately, getting better and better everyday! Filipinos are caring! We may be not rich as Germany and a target for humiliations from the West, but we.do.care.and. love! Take that DW! We're watching you!
One of DWs employees, Janelle Dumalaon, is a Filipino whose personal hero is Maria Ressa. I was wondering myself why DW is very critical of the Philippine government, now I know why.
Sorry to hear, the health care working are very strained worn out around the world….
For as long as there are people who dont read the contracts they sign, they will be others who are taking advantage of them.. Why would someone sign a contract stating that they have to work for at least 36 months before they can quit
Why is that even legal?
Desperation is the reason. I have one of those in the middle East
@@elizabethfw2655 the laws job is to protect the desperate one. The comment of @ani Moore is so entitled!
Little different than people trafficking
Dear DW, could you please make a similar documentary on a university in Saudi Arabia that does almost the same thing as the recruitment agencies in your documentary? The university is prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University. I signed a contract with them in my country. In the contract it said i was eligible for a fixed annual increment of 400 Saudi riyals. I accepted the offer, and so i quit my job in my country. I travelled to KSA. A year later, i got no annual increment. I asked why. I was told i'd already reached the max salary scale offered by the univ to non-saudi nationals. But i was told i'd be able to apply for exceptional increment of 400 every three years. However, a yr later, the univ made us sign a declaration in which we relinquished our right to any increment. Those of us like me who refused to sign that unfair declaration were fired. Nowadays, i hear from past colleagues that only Saudi employees get their annual increase, whilst non-Saudis get no increase at all despite the fact that their contracts say they do.
RIP Theoro... your acid barrel is being prepared... 😅. What a hateful country ...
We have allowed this countries to survive and enjoy out of our sweat ........... Shame on capitalism of lies and slavery........we can only make hard for this imperialists by not going to their countries ..let them clean their. Own toilets......infact if we all unite and separate all imperialist. They will suffer and go down sewage
@@decoloniz_afro as someone who lives in Europe, I agree with you. If people in the so-called poor and developing nations understood that they are supporting our whims and stopped doing it, the world would be a better place. It is disgusting to watch what is happening in the world. Our ancestors imposed capitalism on the whole planet and it is literally destroying us all. We need a better system where we can work together as humans, not members of "rich" and "poor" countries.
And I know it may sound odd, yet in our rich countries, most of us are struggling because the cost of life is insanely high. Most of us are just slaving off at the job in order to pay bills and constantly consume new products. It is a disgusting sight.
Nurses from Serbia are overqualified for the job they do in Germany. Its huge waste of skill and education.
Same for latin nurses; to be a nurse it takes 3 to 5 years in Latin America. I seen they give Jobs to people after one or two years. Those nursers can't be well trained.
what a controlled demolition
Exactly, all part of the plan.
@@benjamindover4337 YOUR NIGERIA CROOKS.
Thx to u all dedicate ..kindness bless all of us🙏🙏🙏
Nursing degrees are very expensive and take years and a lot of intelligence. But the job is to be like a maid in some hospital. Now with the shortage, Nursing should only be 2 years or even 12 months.
The people who stay the course have proved they want to work in the caring professions; too easy and the unfit aren't weeded out.😷
@@robertthomas4234 Better unfit than none at all?
@@tarmynastyr I meant that these training courses typically are unnecessarily long, so the person seeing it through must really want to care. Nurses are heroic saints in my experience.😷
So the best thing in your opinion is to deprofessionalise nursing? I hope when you are sick you do not forget to mention that and that you respect nurses while you watch their faces.
Please go back to the pub and stick to drinking pints instead of disrespecting a profession.
@@Gexmini I am a registered nurse and I do believe that at least half of what we learn in school is a waste of time and money. The curriculum can definitely be streamlined but the universities would have a hard time losing half their income.
Why wear the mask in the first place when you often take it off to talk to others at close proximity? 🤔
Filipinos will even work and migrate there even if the pay and benefits are way below German standard. They can earn there 10X as much there versus here plus the opportunity to leave the country for good in exchange for better status in life.
The recruitment agencies have a lot to answer for, hope the German government are aware of their unscrupulous/exploitation practices.
Same problem in UK, all this government sleep on the same bed, nothing will change. They are in power for their own benefit.
Of course they know. They keep the mess like that because it must be profitable for them in some way.
Why Not reading full agreement before signing
DW documentaries should air on ARD and ZDF
What if instead of making the German language courses presentials , offere them by zoom. In that way, nurses who are interested in the recruitment process don't meed to move to other states or quit their jobs to carry on with the language courses. Offer more flexible learning hours adapted to nurses working times. In that way lots of trouble can be avoided for the nurses, for the agencies and hospitals.
Human slavery in so many forms. Thank you for highlighting this issue
I think the Nurses prefer to quit nursing jobs and shift to more decent job rather than work like maid in hospital, there are factors that no one like to take nurse because of rude patients, doctors i just can't take if i were them
Most nurses don’t want the magic potion
exactly but shhh forbidden subject
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
80 million population and there's a shortage in such a rich country?
West empire is falling ...stop calling it rich...........high percent of their people have nothing...wait when this game of capitalism is thrown in sewage !!!
In India trained healthcare workers are available. There should be a government to government programs to recruit eligible workers instead of
engaging middlemen.
Caregivers for seniors in USA don’t get healthcare. And work more than what they’re paid for…. There’s an opportunity cost of living in someone’s house 24hrs and having a fixed flat rate.
This is what happens when a country undervalues RN/BSNs. Agencies in US often pay in any given wk what an RN can earn in 2 months. So it's no wonder RNs are tempted.

There's also teachers shortage in US...esp rural areas
and what about the countries these health care workers left behind......what will they do with their shortage of health care workers. What a terrible world we are living in.
let me guess why? low paid jobs thats why.
Be careful with Recruitment Agency when applying job overseas. Go with your Government Employment Agency.

Not just in Germany.
That German woman who befriended me on the bus from La Paz to Arequipa and through to Ica on the way to Limá-she worked at the hospital as an aid to her mother, a doctor, and it is impressionable about German solidarity that she is allowed to do that.
When I got my Yellow Fever vaccine at the main hospital in Arequipa, in the non-delivery maternity out-section of the hospital the nurse wanted a reason why I wanted the vaccine and the doctor gave the answer for me-travel to Brazil. I had certainly considered traveling to Iquitos after seeing Jakharu's travels there, and you certainly need the vaccine to go there. Svetlana got the vaccine in Russia, and was insufficiently appreciative of the price she got, considering that there is no need for the Yellow Fever vaccine in Russia (just like there is no tropical fruit in Russia) and thus the vaccine had to be special ordered.
Joel Blair did like his gin and tonic, and it was real, if extremely diluted tonic.
I have been looking for this kind of documentary. I need to contact anyone who does this investigation. Needing help.

What a *SCAM* poor people they thought a rich country like Germany won't allow these stuff... I hope they're in a better place today. 🙏
You shouldn't be allowed to go to a whole other country and work in the medical field, if you cannot speak and read their language. There's really zero tolerance for a "whoopsie, I thought it said to give the patient two, once a day, not one, twice a day" this is people's lives we're talking about

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
This is Human Trafficking and these companies are acting like gangsters.
Pay them their worth, and you won't have to import them!
Many nurses wants to go Germany but its difficult to learn German language,if only they allow international nurses to go to learn German while working maybe easier
Fishing for the desperate and needy that's the essence of the story. Very sad to see their dreams shattered. and for those who still working in the shade of that shitty contract of employment, it's like chewing a bad nut. Get help from some good lawyer. God help these sisters to get out of the cage.
If the actual hospitals did it, you know it's safe and it gives you safety but when it comes to getting a job through the AGENCY, they can come as scams big time.
If only the Hospitals 🏥 stated what Agencies they work with for staffing if they do not hire people themselves.
Solution: Encourage & mandate your own native people to take up vital technical trades, such as practical nursing!!! Aging populous, that's a lot of countries! What this comes down to is not teaching your own people and preparing them for needed labor, no they shouldn't have a choice when something such as medical care is desperately needed. Pay them generously considering the high risk, stress & educational requirements, and Berlin is actually considered one of the more affordable of European cities although I would guess is still expensive like everywhere is becoming if it wasn't already. To me, this predatory & sad issue wouldn't be going on if Germany supplied its own employment and I simply do not buy the excuses of having an older populous, the younger generation does not value science or medical career opportunities and I blame liberalization in poor public schools which we suffer from in the US as well. These younger, capable people are opting out of anything essential to keeping society afloat and then whining about being poor & unemployable. Meanwhile bringing in foreigners is never ideal, they belong in their country taking care of their people. They don't deserve to be conned, defrauded or scammed!!! Germany has relied too much on importing their help, for decades since the war ended. Time they stood on their own two feet and educated their native people's in such necessary & urgent fields and implement mandatory training if need be. They have plenty of Germans in Germany that can work, the people choose not to and the govt needs to enforce the care of it's people and pay handsomely, accordingly. The younger generation does need to take on critical technical skills and seek out schooling, training & jobs, depending on what's needed and if you're skilled in medical then you'll always be employable. I blame the govt for not valuing enough to emphasize medical sciences & the pursuit of such, with the habitual idea to import foreigners and clearly if they aren't doing anything about this expose, I believe the pay isn't adequate or something is terribly wrong as people not going for it but blame the people too, for making poor choices and turning their nose up at the thought while portraying themselves a victim of inflation in this world.
You seem to know a lot about Germany. Is the problem as you're describing it? Is the solution that simple?🤔
Because the medical profession, as many others, is underpaid.
Or maybe don't mandate anyone to take any job. Just pay better if there is low supply and high demand.
I agree with your opinion. I think a similar thing happens in the USA and the Mexicans and people from Central America. In general is the despise for the care work and the reliance on foreign migrants to do those jobs. As you say, each country should take care of their older people and in every society we should appreciate those who take care of the sick and the old ones. We should pay them more, we should train them correctly and we should respect those workers because the job they do is super stressing and super important. The same happens with the cleaning jobs. It is boring, it can be unsatisfaying but someone does it and in general is the most poor women of every society. We should value those workers more and the work they do. And we should try to do it ourselves more, if we make a mess we should clean it ourselves.
@@watzimagiga They'd be in the very same position. The native people's have to pursue this work!!! Problem solved!!! Avoid all the unnecessary foreign reliance. It's no good for anybody. These stories of exploitation wouldn't be going on, it would prevent all this hassle and the native populous would be stronger for it!!! Letting people opt out is precisely the problem. If my parents hadn't made me tough it out, I'd be in poverty now and wouldn't have had the world of opportunity open up for me so yes, making people do some things in life is NOT so terrible and in fact desperately needed!!!
Business scams through and through.
Filipin@ Caregivers and Filipin@ Nurses are willing to fill in the Gap in Germany,,, Filipin@ Integration into Germany is wholesome,,,
The problem is German language for foreign trained nurse
The employers never get that the job or process is screwy, they just hire someone you can't understand.
This has happened to 4 of my vocations I this life
How are you doing
What a shame, I hope they get to Germany to a new life , thank you DW
We do. Paying taxes
Probably the same in US. In Houston several hospitals only hear Tagalog and mylama all shift. Not enough being done to grow and keep native nurses.anywhere. whole situation would change if what nurses do was respected not monetized like piecework
How do you know they are speaking in Tagalog, nakaka intindi po ba kayo ng Tagalog Manang? Or are you just a racist, white supremacist?
Eh you guys on the USA do not even have a public health care system that the lack of staff extends to completely privatised models says it all,Money and Health should not be on the same page that much is clear to us all.
@@gonzalomarquez8264 the nursing shortage is a global problem. And nurses in the US get paid better than they do in Germany. It has nothing to do with public or private healthcare. They just don’t have enough trained staff for the amount of patients
@@mannygreywolfsdb9936 I am active in the international community.Sorry, only read english,spanish and german. sorry for your ignorance.
@@t4squared Honestly don't know pay all around world but in US the stated pay /benefits is manipulated weirdly.Told there is shift and weekend differential but then after working off shift on weekend get canceled on weekday and paid less and being told you didn't work enough hours to get differentials, being denied PTO"due to needs", forced overtime, lack of health insurance. Many times had to use credit to buy essential groceries. Hospitals try to run with as few staff as poss not because they aren't there, they don't want to pay. So glad to be done with it all
You are a nurse and you can't read a contract or Google what the rules are in Gernany?
Depends on the nurse. Our contracts are in full German and I fully understood what I signed and what was said in the contract.
Germany can import nurses from the Philipine, the country brough in 1 million muslim refugee.
Study at foreign country instead signing the contract just to work there is a two different thing. Cuz when you’re a student, not only you able to learn the language, but you would able to slowly understand and assimilate yourself with the culture. For me whose passion is to travel and learn others culture, to study abroad is a great deal for me. I love French and German language, art and culture, and even took the subjects to understand them better. Now with the news of war, social collapse that slowly creeping in, and people are getting more and more divided, i kinda having a second thought about getting my degree and work in Germany. All around the world has shortage of nurses, and everyone worldwide needs all the healthcare workers they need, yet these greedy business minded people put profits before not just their own people, but other human being who actually willing to choose a career that barely anyone chose as a first choice. I would be pissed too if I signed up to join a volunteer group to South Africa only to be scammed to pay more than required. Good lord, even doing an honest job the scammers wouldn’t let us off the hook. It’s really just about money.
I am a latin nurse and spent a couple of weeks in Berlin for holidays... i really felt the spread and proud racism in almost every german i met in what is supposed to be the most "open"/liberal city of the country... every interaction was horrible,, as described in any history book but in 2020... i wouldnt work in Germany even if it will be my last option to be alive... now, sincerely, when i meet germans on proffesional background or when they come to my country for holidays, I keep my distance and even cross the street... the wwII could have ended, but people remain the same...
5 tausend euros?? Criminals!!!
Be warned the Ausland nurses will NEVER work as nurses but mere hospital maids😭😭😭😭😭
Hospitals worldwide are enormous bureaucratic behemoths, like universities. If an agency supplies staff who are inadequate, they will go out of business. In my country the Filipino is considered a reliable, trustworthy, hard worker. This video has picked up on a crappy agency in order to make a film. Sadly, people were duped and ripped off, but thankfully the company's been exposed. The Au Pere system is a similarly poorly regulated one where young girls often have a wonderful experience with their host family but often end up veritable slaves for the unscrupulous!
How do I go about getting to work in germany am really interested
While they are making tons of $$$$
Modern slavery? Certainly is. Local staff need not apply...
slavery that you can quit from.
Here's a radical idea. You get drug addicts to do it in return for drugs and housing.
Hear me out. Many drug users are prepared to do anything to get their fix and are often homeless. If they were allowed drugs after their supervised shift and a room in the nursing home, it not only would provide nursing homes with workers but might even encourage users to eliminate their habit.
Who the hell demands money just because singing a contract that's bs
It's a difficult situation, but from these videos, the brazilians on the interview cannot speak English, this would be very hard for them moving to Germany a country where the language is not latin or similar, cultural barriers. I'm just wondering in which language those interviews were done. But in no way the hiring companies should charge the hired ones.
Why only women are recruited as nurses? Isn't it sexist?
When the heroes are called villains because they don't want to be forced an experimental drug
The most important is when you imported health workers they need to speak the language of the country they emigrate to ? Also you must know that the qualifications of new nurse match the standard of the health in the country you emigrate? Most of the health standards in Eastern Europe and Asia South America is very low !
I am surgical nurse in Sydney Australia and emigrate from Poland! I have fluent English also I did work for few years in Dubai and studied nursing in UAE what give me the knowledge to work in Australia
Very stupid statement!!!!!
Good country. I should say that learn German in 5 months is hardly usual. One of the nurses pass listening, reading and writing after study for 11 months in Brazil … that is impressive! However, she failed speaking. Totally understandable because she live in Brazil, she did not have the opportunity to improve her speaking. Despite these facts, she was penalized! Thats really bad.
hello, how any foreign citizen who lives abroad can apply for job for germany or any european country ?, ı really wanna work there, ı can do every job for minimum wage. greetings from türkey
Don't ever mention minimum wage. If you're a qualified nurse it will be relatively easy to get a job especially if you know the language. But mentiioning the minimum wage the agency may take the difference between what you earn and disserve and what you will get.
Good luck with your search

@16 watch carefully body language of recruiter...
Criminals that do that to other country people!
Germany needs nurses but doesn't do a thing to help nurses from lets say EU to come to germany. Help with language course pay a scholarship. don't be that greedy
Why don't you finance young germans' University ? You need to speak perfect German to work in an hospital with patients and doctors who speaks only German . Medical terms and medications are different in every countries , a mistake in translation can be disastrous .
...putting all your eggs in one basket. Recruitment agencies are notoriously dodgy; they are in the exploitation racket. Nothing new here, sadly😷

As much as I adore Germany and would love to live there, I would not, as an American RN, work there as a nurse unless I worked for the DoD.
There will always be shortages of nurses all around the world.
Oh yeah, they are also good at cover up, when medical accidents occured.
Are you people taking up these recruitment language course before a work visa is already granted?
I would wait until I get a visa before starting anything. It is Embassy who approved or denied. Unless Germany doesn’t required visa entrance.
Sound like a scam to draw attention to those interested. They probably know you will failed halfway taking their language course.
