Conditions
Free liberty of movement for all citizens of the EU-8 member states
since May 2011
Non-academic jobseekers from Romania and Bulgaria still need work
permits, but without priority check.
Academic jobseekers from Romania and Bulgaria do not need a work
permit, when they work in their field of study (e.g. Medical Doctors).
Since May 2011 ZAV is in charge of issuing work permits (6 teams).
Most employers in other industrial countries are searching for the same
qualification profiles as German employers.
Professional recognition remains the most important formal step to
overcome in the context of recruitments in the Health Sector.

What EURES Germany (ZAV) does concretely:

We offer German employers the opportunity to participate in recruitment
events abroad (Medical Job Days or Recruitment Day).
Wir participate in European Job Days and Recruitment Events abroad,
often in Medical Universities.
Wir participate in information sessions for applicants abroad
We give first advice and help directing potential applicants towards
professional recognition of foreign degrees/diploma.

Our experience so far, applicant side:
Chances:
Applicants become increasingly mobile, international professional
mobility rises
More and more highly qualified applicants (e.g. M.D. in Greece) have
become interested in searching a position in Germany
Companies benefit of innovative ideas and intercultural diversity of
foreign applicants
The driver of the interest in Germany is „good recruitment chances“.
Ralf Czadzeck, ZAV: Fachkräfte aus dem Ausland, Offenbach, März 2012
Seite 8
Our experience so far, applicant side:
Hindrances:
Applicants often speak only no or little German:
The German language is hardly taken as first or second foreign
language
Geographic interest focuses often on Southern Germany and on the
largest cities (Berlin, Hamburg, Munich)
For both, Medical Doctors and nurses, there is a pofessional recognition
of the foreign degree/diplome needed.
Ralf Czadzeck, ZAV: Fachkräfte aus dem Ausland, Offenbach, März 2012
Seite 9
Our experience so far, employers side: Employers are…
increasingly open to recruit applicants from abroad
prepared to accompany us to foreign recruitment events
often looking for the „Perfect Candidate“.
insisting on professional experience and good to very good German
language skills.

How you could help new foreign colleagues integrate:
Being ready to compormise: initially do without high professional
specialisation and professional experience
Look for more young and mobile graduates as Assistent Doctors and
allow them to specialise in the hospital.
Identify a personal tutor for the new foreign colleague
Offer relocation service and language course
Increase readiness to finance a German language course or
professional courses to achieve professional recognition
