Responsibility, Transparency & Ethical Action

The recruitment of international skilled workers requires the highest level of care and professionalism.

The recruitment of international skilled workers is a process that requires the highest level of care and professionalism. At Geis & Partner, we have committed to clear and binding principles that ensure success for our clients and fairness towards skilled workers.

1. Free for Skilled Workers (Employer-Pays Principle)

We consistently work according to the Employer-Pays Principle. The entire recruitment and placement process is fundamentally free for the skilled workers we support. All costs are borne exclusively by the future employer.

  • We ensure that our clients' employment contracts do not contain repayment clauses or hidden fees relating to placement or recruitment costs.
  • This obligation applies to the entire service chain, including our partners abroad.

2. Global Responsibility & Ethical Recruitment

Our actions are guided by international standards to ensure fair and responsible recruitment practices.

  • WHO Health Workforce Support and Safeguards List: We do not recruit from countries whose healthcare systems are burdened by a critical shortage of skilled personnel. The current World Health Organization (WHO) list is binding for us.
  • ILO Guidelines: We adhere to the International Labour Organization (ILO) guidelines for fair recruitment and the protection of workers' rights.

3. Transparency and Information in the Process

We create a reliable basis for decision-making through maximum transparency.

  • Each skilled worker receives comprehensive and truthful information about working and living conditions in Germany and Austria early on and in their native language.
  • This includes realistic information about remuneration, contributions, living costs, and the recognition process.
  • We avoid unrealistic promises and ensure that all expectations are based on a solid foundation.

4. Focus on Sustainable Integration

Our responsibility does not end with the arrival of the skilled worker.

  • We understand linguistic, professional, and social integration as a crucial part of the process to ensure long-term success for employers and employees.
  • Our mentoring and language support programs are designed to facilitate onboarding, relieve the burden on our clients' teams, and promote high employee retention.

A Word on Quality and Certifications

Unlike the nursing sector, there is no state-recognized quality seal for fair recruitment for the professional fields we support (including physiotherapy, MRT, MTL). Therefore, we have committed to our own strict quality standards. Our benchmark is not a general seal, but the trust of our clients, the demonstrable success in integration, and the longevity of the employment relationships we create.

Complaint Management & Compliance

Adherence to our principles has the highest priority. Should you or third parties have cause for complaint or information about possible misconduct in connection with our services, we ensure a clear and confidential reporting channel.

Please contact management directly in such cases. We guarantee prompt, impartial review and handling of your concern.
