2 Qualified workforce from abroad How ZAV can support German employers Our aim: To gain foreign qualified personnel for the German Health Market Our activities: Filling open job vacancies in Germany, when there are no suitable applicants available on the regional and countrywide job market Carrying out projects for recruiting foreign skilled/academic personnel Building networks and partnerships Consulting the employers Giving advice to foreign applicants about chances to find a job in Germany and different ways to apply Placing foreign applicants with German companies Seite 2

3 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. Seite 3

Seite 5

6 What EURES Germany (ZAV) does concretely: Together with our EURES-Partners we organise recruitment events in the countries in which potentials of applicants have been identified and common activities have been agreed upon with the relevant EURES- Partner. 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. ZAV has a pool of applicants. Seite 6

7 Projects in 2011/12 For personnel in the Health Sector: Assistent Doctors and Specialised Doctors together with German hospitals in Austria, Greece, Bulgaria at Medical Universities. Recruiting of nurses in Portugal (German course needed). Seite 7

8 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. Seite 8

9 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. Seite 9

10 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. Seite 10

11 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 Seite 11
