Principles Statement on International Recruitment
Commitment to fairness and transparency
Welcome to Team Talents-your reliable partner for recruiting international professionals in healthcare and education. Our goal is to ensure the highest level of fairness and transparency in all processes. We are aware of our social responsibility and commit to safeguarding the interests of both the host country and the countries of origin. Professionals do not pay any placement fees with us. Our "no fee policy" ensures that all costs are borne by the employer.
Ethical and professional standards
Team Talents adheres strictly to ethical and professional standards. Our code of conduct is based on the "WHO Code of Conduct for the International Recruitment of Health Personnel." This code guides us in maintaining sustainable and fair collaboration between international professionals and German employers. We are committed to upholding international human rights conventions and ILO core labor standards.
Our principles
Support with recognition and language development
Our comprehensive support includes recognition of foreign qualifications, obtaining residence permits, and language acquisition. We guarantee ethical and professional conduct throughout all processes..
Equality and Anti-Discrimination
We only place professionals in positions that ensure equal working conditions, rights, and responsibilities for both local and international staff. We reject any form of discrimination.
Intercultural preparation and integration
Thorough preparation for integration into the new workplace is essential to us. This includes intercultural preparation for the host institution and fostering a welcoming culture. Transparent hiring and employment conditions enable professionals to make well-informed decisions.
Confidentiality and data protection
Protecting confidentiality and data protection is our top priority. We ensure a secure complaint process and access to legal remedies for all parties involved.
Compliance with Laws
We adhere to the laws of all involved countries, including bilateral agreements and relevant labor and immigration laws. The Employer Pays Principle guarantees that no recruitment fees or deposits are charged.
Employer pays principle
The Employer-Pays Principle is an internationally recognized standard for fair recruitment, ensuring that workers do not have to pay for their jobs. Recruitment costs, including fees and other related expenses, are fully covered by the employer. This practice is crucial for combating exploitation, forced labor, and human trafficking in global supply chains. A key aspect is the regular review and verification that employers are indeed covering the recruitment costs to ensure that no hidden fees are charged to workers. More information can be found here.
At Team Talents, we are committed to full compliance with the Employer-Pays Principle. All costs associated with recruitment are borne by employers, ensuring fair and transparent conditions for all international professionals in healthcare and education.
Recommendations for healthcare professionals
We recommend all international healthcare professionals who wish to work in Germany to consult the brochure by the Kuratorium Deutsche Altershilfe (KDA) titled "Erwerbsmigration in die Pflege nach Deutschland." This brochure is available in multiple languages and provides valuable information for starting in the German job market. You can find these brochures here.
Counseling centers for integration
The "Faire Integration" network offers counseling centers for non-EU nationals. These centers help international professionals find fair working conditions in Germany and provide support with questions related to daily work life. Additionally, in Northern Germany, the "Arbeit und Leben" counseling centers specifically support foreign employees, offering comprehensive advice and assistance for international workers.
Consistent actions for violations
Employees or business partners who violate these rules will face appropriate disciplinary measures. This may include terminating contracts and disclosing offenses to authorities. Team Talents is committed to transparent, fair, and responsible recruitment practices and is your trusted partner for a successful international career in healthcare and education.
