FAIR RECRUITMENT FOR NURSING IN GERMANY

A state seal of approval for fair and ethical placement

CareLend GmbH holds the state quality seal “Faire Anwerbung Pflege Deutschland”, awarded by the Federal Ministry of Health (BMG). This seal stands for the highest standards in the international recruitment and placement of nursing professionals from third countries.

With its four quality areas, 19 criteria and 56 indicators, the seal expresses a clear and binding quality framework for transparency, legal compliance, social responsibility and sustainable integration.

Since its founding, CareLend GmbH has committed itself to an ethically responsible placement practice that puts the interests of both nursing staff and medical facilities at the centre.

Our way of working is shaped by appreciation, clarity, cultural sensitivity and a high degree of reliability — exactly what the seal requires and confirms.

For us, receiving the seal is not only an award, but also an incentive to keep developing our quality standards and to shape the integration of international nursing staff in Germany as well as possible.

Recruitment and integration of qualified foreign nursing staff!

With the services of CareLend Bildungsgesellschaft mbH and CareLend GmbH, CareLend Group offers a complete solution from a single source.

International recruitment in the care sector is like navigating the open sea: it requires foresight, experience and a sense of responsibility. Without clear guidelines, employers risk wrong decisions, unclear contracts, broken promises and missing transparency.

It is not just about attracting qualified nursing staff to the German healthcare system, but also about how this is done. Fair and transparent recruitment is the path that leads to long-term success.

The "Fair Recruitment Nursing Germany" quality mark is your guide in a complex market. It stands for ethically responsible, transparent and fair recruitment based on international standards.

I discovered Carelend online in 2022, reached the required German level in less than a year, and now feel that Carelend is like my second family.

Siham

Nurse

I am Siham, a nurse from Algeria. In 2022 I discovered Carelend online, and my experience with them was amazing. I started my first German language level with Carelend and reached the required level in less than a year. Thank God, I passed the exam on the first attempt. I liked the way the lessons were presented, and the Carelend team's kind treatment impressed me. During my exam preparation they helped me prepare the embassy documents, from the employment contract to accommodation and other matters. Now I am here in Germany and feel that Carelend is like my second family. I would like to express my thanks and gratitude for the valuable support. You played a major role in making my dream come true, and I am grateful for the great efforts you made to help me. Gratitude is not enough to express my feelings. Thank you dear Carelend.

For two years I learned German with CareLand Egypt, and thank God I am now in Germany working as a nurse.

Ahmed Yehia Ismael

Nurse

My name is Ahmed Yehia Ismael. I come from Egypt and work as a nurse. For two years I have been learning German in order to have the opportunity to emigrate to Germany, and thank God I am now in Germany. Two years ago I started learning German with CareLand Egypt. While I was learning the language, CareLand helped me prepare for the language exams, and during that time I was able to obtain a deficit notice. CareLand also helped me conduct a job interview with a hospital in Germany and get an employment contract. Afterwards they helped me apply for a visa until I arrived in Germany. In the end I would like to thank CareLand.
