Nurse recruitment with personal responsibility.

We connect international nurses with hospitals, care facilities and home care providers in Germany.

My commitment to DPKS

Fair recruitment. Personal support.

My aim is for nurses to feel confident about their next career step, and for employers to find people whose skills and personalities fit their team.

That is why DPKS stands for fair conditions, clear processes and personal support: we listen, clarify expectations and agree the next steps together. This gives nurses guidance and helps employers prepare for a lasting working relationship.

Our values

Fair recruitment.
Clear principles.

People decide their own future. Our principles combine respect for their rights and aspirations with clear terms for working together.

Choose freely.

Every nurse makes their own decisions, freely and without pressure. We respect their dignity and career aspirations, explain things clearly and take time to answer questions.

Make the terms clear.

Services, responsibilities and agreements should be explained clearly and provided in writing at an early stage. Our benchmark is the Employer Pays Principle: employers bear recruitment and placement costs, not nurses.

Take responsibility.

Respect and fair conditions guide how we work with employers and partners. We clarify responsibilities, take concerns seriously and discuss difficulties openly.

Think long term.

We want to build working relationships that last. Together with nurses and employers, we agree on expectations, the start of employment and the support to be provided.

For us, a good match is built on respect and offers a future for both sides.

Our principles are guided by the quality and testing requirements of ‘Faire Anwerbung Pflege Deutschland’ (RAL-GZ 912).

How we work with you

A first conversation
becomes a shared journey.

Recruitment

The right match
starts with getting to know you.

We get to know your goals and discuss how qualifications, responsibilities and expectations fit together.

We bring nurses and employers together and support introductions and selection. We agree the scope of our services and the terms personally with the employer.

Turning plans
into next steps.

We coordinate with you and everyone involved to establish what is needed to start work: from language preparation and supporting evidence to documents and translations.

Support

A good start
takes coordination.

New people, new routines, new expectations: a good start requires guidance on both sides.

We coordinate the start of employment, clarify contacts and responsibilities, and support induction within the agreed scope.

Plan your start with us

Working together locally

Personal support
begins with listening.

Preparation begins with a personal conversation at the Talent Center in the respective country of origin. Nurses can discuss their questions, assess their starting point and agree on the next steps towards working in Germany.

Listen.

What matters to you? We take time to discuss your career goals, personal questions and expectations of living and working in Germany.

Review together.

We discuss your experience and existing documents. Together, we clarify what is already available and where further support is needed.

Provide guidance.

We agree the next steps with you and clarify who is responsible for what. This helps you understand what comes next and who you can turn to.
