Simplify complexity.

We do not describe a standard recruiting process to you. We are interested in your specific requirements and in real solutions for you. To this end, we want to determine your real recruitment needs and define our partnership based on our experience. Which of your recruitment expectations were not fulfilled so far? And how sustainable is your personnel strategy really?

Our global partners are, without exception, proven professionals who have been recruiting, training, and deploying specialists in their respective countries for decades. They are trusted experts with the local circumstances and possess direct access to embassies, ministries, universities, language schools and other relevant institutions. They operate their own local training facilities and nationwide recruitment structures. Thereby, large numbers of potential applicants are reached, thoroughly selected and trained. This is all based on many years of experience in these processes and they have proven this to their customers in shipping and other demanding industries for years.

We combine this for you with our know-how in the German health care industry, the understanding of our client requirements and the experience in decoding the complicated legal framework, such as approval procedures, recognition processes and the overall bureaucratic structures in Germany.

We are the central platform and manage the entire project in every phase to reduce complexity and make it as simple as possible for everyone involved.

Business Principles.

Sustain and develop.

We seek to follow the WHO's "Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel". For us these are guiding principles when it comes to a just and humane treatment of health personnel and the situation in their home country. Only a fair treatment of everyone and every party involved ensures long term success in this industry. High transparency is therefore of central importance for Amesol and we appreciate the significant impact of each applicant’s decision to take on such a challenge. We understand that our reputation in those countries is the hard currency of the international recruitment sector.

These values are central when selecting and evaluating the relationship with our partners and clients. Therefore, they also have corresponding obligations. Specifically:

Conscious integration

Integration must accompany the applicant until well after the first day of work and any problems that arise must be recognised early and solved quickly. Integration has two directions: In addition to the applicant from abroad, the welcoming teams must also be considered. The declining acceptance within nursing teams for foreign colleagues shows that this topic has been given too little attention in the past.

Adequate use of specialists

A foreign nurse, who has been trained mainly as a physician’s assistant and in diagnostics and who has studied for four years, would naturally like to be employed with a similar job description. Therefore, a transparent and realistic presentation of the later tasks is essential. To contribute to daily tasks within the new unit and not to feel exploited, increases retention rates significantly and avoids early fluctuation, which is frustrating for everyone involved.

Good language skills

The German language is challenging. But it also paves the way for good communication with patients and team colleagues for the new life in Germany. Therefore it is a key bridge to a successful integration. However, this requires sufficient time which must be given to the applicant as well as patience and empathy.

We would not be your partner, if we would not see these requirements as our responsibility as well.
