About us

The New Way to Hire.A people-first bridge to the German labor market.

We believe relocating for work should be an opportunity, not an obstacle course. Since day one, Fachkraft Ausland has combined recruitment expertise, legal rigor, and genuine care to move people — and their careers — forward.

Founded in Frankfurt, 2019

Born out of first-hand frustration with Germany's fragmented labor migration system.

Our story

Built by people who've walked the path.

Our founding team is a mix of German HR leaders and international professionals who moved to Germany themselves. We saw friends with brilliant CVs stuck in bureaucratic loops — and German employers begging for exactly those skills on the other side.

So we built the agency we wished had existed: one that treats candidates as humans, handles the paperwork end-to-end, and gives employers the confidence to hire internationally without legal headaches.

Today, we place hundreds of professionals each year in healthcare, engineering, IT, skilled trades and hospitality — with a 98% visa success rate and a partner network spanning Germany's Mittelstand and DAX companies.

What we stand for

Three values, zero compromises.

Trust

Transparent pricing, realistic timelines, and honest assessments — even when that means telling you Germany isn't the right fit.

Clarity

Every step, every document, every deadline explained in plain language. No legalese, no surprise forms.

Reliability

Dedicated consultants, guaranteed response times, and six months of post-arrival support. We don't disappear after the contract is signed.

Team

Multilingual, multicultural, mission-driven.

Our 30-person team operates from Frankfurt, Berlin and Manila — speaking 14 languages combined and sharing one mission: opening Germany's doors the right way.
