Signite, the somewhat different agency

At Signite we don’t promise a fixed contingent or allocate a certain number of applicants to an employer. We believe that forcing a match cannot work. We rather believe that there is the right fit for everyone and therefore try to help you to increase the chances for a match.
We see ourselves as an “enabler” who supports nurses willing to work in Germany to identify their most appropriate migration solution and to find the most suitable employer for their career.
For employers we offer innovative ways of recruitment to be able to hire the right personnel and to ensure a long-term staff retention from the start.

Check out Signite’s core feature - our matching app!

Our matching questionnaire is the starting point to Signite. Eight questions, eight underlying criteria, quick and easy to answer. If your requirements as an employer match with the nurses’ ones, this leads to a match and subsequently to an interview with a nurse. We follow the rule: more transparency, more flexibility and attractive benefits increase the chance to be found by nurses and get matches.

Foreign nurses, what does it mean?

Every nurse is different. Obviously. And besides differences in their cultural background, mentality and personality, there are amongst the various countries also differences in their professional education, the understanding of the nursing profession and the perception of the individual role in their working context. Discrepancies to the German profession as a nurse can be found in the rather theoretical approach of the university degree of nursing in other countries. Foreign nurses tend to have a more medical expertise, more specialist knowledge and are used to work more autonomously assist doctors. Foreign nurses mostly work in hospitals which as well differ greatly from the hospitals we know in Germany. Also, rehabilitation clinics or elderly care homes are not that common in other countries. Basic care and practical support of patients is often less typical as this is usually done by the patient’s family. It is therefore recommended to inform the new employees about habits and standards in Germany at an early stage, so they will gain an understanding of the German view on the nursing profession and adapt to it smoothly.

    Questions & Answers

    Signite is flexible, transparent and digital. Our goal is to match employers with the right experts. If the preferences of the professionals match the requirements of the employers, there is a match. We don't promise any contingents, but we do promise a precisely fitting personnel selection. And all of this is software-supported and compliant with data protection regulations.

    In principle, professionals from all countries of origin can register with Signite and apply to work for you. We are currently represented by our local team in various countries in the Western Balkans, Tunisia and India.

    Signite aims to empower employers and professionals alike to migrate to Germany in the best possible way. This includes assistance with interviews, advice on choosing the appropriate recognition path, applying for professional recognition, and support in obtaining a visa. For the language acquisition as well as the implementation of the necessary adaptation measures, we have a network of partners that we are happy to draw on.

    Whether at the B1 level or only after obtaining the B2 certificate - you make this decision in agreement with the expert. One thing is certain: The B1 certificate must usually be presented at the visa appointment and the B2 certificate is a prerequisite for obtaining professional recognition. So, whether already in your home country or then in Germany - there is no way around learning solid language skills.

    We often hear this question, but unfortunately there is no clear answer here. The process duration depends on the timing of the interview (the earlier the interview takes place, the earlier the application for recognition can be submitted), the personal learning progress of the expert (language talent or do exams have to be repeated?) and, to a considerable extent, the processing time of the German authorities (waiting time for recognition notice and visa). But our matching app always provides you as an employer with a daily updated overview of where your expert is in the process.

    Of course, we inform our experts about the necessary commitment that participation in Signite requires from them. Nevertheless, it cannot be prevented that an expert selected by you changes her/his mind during the process. Unfortunately, this can always happen in a free labor market. In this case, the employer will be reimbursed. However, we cannot promise a replacement, as it is up to the professionals to apply to you.

    The organization is up to Signite. We manage the process, collect all documents and take care of the communication with the authorities. You will receive notifications via our matching app on which documents need to be provided by you as the employer. As an employer, you organize the transfer itself directly with your expert and also cover the cost of the tickets.

    Signite advises professionals in choosing the most suitable recognition path for them as well as in gathering the relevant documents. Signite also handles the application and communication with the recognition authority. Upon receipt of the recognition notice, we establish contact with one of our partners, where the adaptation measure can be carried out and the professional recognition will be completed.
