Questions about working with us – clearly answered
General Overview & Introduction
We combine personal experience (with roots in Kerala) and professional recruitment expertise.
Our approach is values-based, structured, and tailored – not a standardized mass placement model.
Our partners especially value our honest communication, cultural sensitivity, and long-term perspective.
What truly makes us different:
Even after the placement, we remain actively by your side.
We continue to support the nurses – with team integration, administrative procedures, registrations, daily life, and, if needed, housing search.
In this way, we provide more than just staffing relief – we create sustainable solutions with heart.
We support you from the initial consultation to the full integration of the nurse.
This includes needs analysis, candidate selection, recognition procedures, language training, visa acquisition, as well as arrival and integration support.
Depending on individual circumstances, the full placement and integration process typically takes 6 to 9 months – depending on the recognition procedure and visa processing.
The exact costs depend on the scope of the services commissioned.
We offer a transparent and fair pricing model with clearly defined services – with no hidden fees.
If desired, we will provide you with a customized offer.
Information about the Nurses
Our professionals come from Kerala, a state in southern India known for its high standards in healthcare education.
Many graduates possess excellent nursing skills, strong motivation, and a high level of empathy – making them a valuable addition to any care team in Germany.
Most of the nurses aim for a long-term future in Germany, including the possibility of family reunification.
Yes. All nurses placed through us make their decision voluntarily and with conviction.
They seek a long-term, secure future in Germany – with career prospects, social security, and the opportunity to reunite with their families later on.
PflegeHerz Consulting supports them with respect, transparency, and genuine guidance.
Our nurses from Kerala hold a recognized qualification in general or geriatric nursing.
We ensure that they are professionally and linguistically prepared (minimum B1 level) for daily work in German healthcare settings.
All candidates complete a structured language program (target: B1/B2 level) with a focus on medical language.
Before arrival, we assess language progress and, if necessary, provide targeted additional training.
Absolutely.
Our language training includes nursing-specific terminology and real-life workplace scenarios in German care facilities.
We also provide digital learning materials specifically designed to prepare for communication with patients, colleagues, and relatives – so that our nurses can work confidently and professionally.
Our nurses aim for long-term employment in Germany – with professional development and personal stability.
Thanks to thorough preparation, clear expectations, and ongoing personal support, we significantly increase the retention period.
Integration & Collaboration
We provide intensive cultural and language preparation, conduct integration talks, and remain a point of contact for both the care facility and the new employees after arrival.
We coordinate the onboarding with you:
We prepare the nurses with detailed information about your facility, help arrange housing, and support their orientation through regular feedback sessions – including team training in cultural awareness if desired.
Our support doesn’t end upon arrival:
We offer after-care services, regular check-ins, help with everyday issues, and remain available long-term for both the care facility and the nursing professional.
Housing arrangements are closely coordinated with the employer.
Our nurses are open to company accommodations, shared housing, or dormitories.
We support the search and placement process but expect active involvement from the facility.
PflegeHerz Consulting prepares all nurses thoroughly for the required administrative procedures and provides clear instructions as well as personal assistance.
Where possible, we take care of preliminary tasks.
For on-site steps such as registration, opening a bank account or choosing health insurance, we work closely with your facility to make the process as smooth as possible for everyone involved.
If problems arise during the probationary period, we offer long-term support and – depending on the case – a replacement placement.
Our goal is a stable, long-term solution for both sides.
Yes – our work doesn't end when the job starts.
We remain a personal point of contact for both the facility and the nurse.
We are closely involved during the initial phase and maintain regular contact afterward.
Legal Aspects & Applicant Profile
We operate strictly in compliance with German immigration and labor laws as well as the guidelines of the Federal Employment Agency.
Recognition as a nursing professional is granted according to the respective state law. All steps are documented and legally compliant.
Qualified nursing professionals from Kerala who fulfill the language (minimum A2–B1) and professional training requirements are eligible to apply through us.
We focus on ethical recruitment and long-term career prospects.
After this period, the local immigration authority converts it into a long-term residence and work permit.
Getting Started & Overview
PflegeHerz Consulting is a German company with personal roots in Kerala.
We help you come to Germany as a qualified nurse – safely, fairly, and with full support.
We assist you with language training, recognition of your qualifications, visa process, job placement, and integration.
Good English skills and the willingness to learn German are essential.
Requirements & Preparation
In addition, you must be willing to reach at least B1 level in German to be recognized as a nurse.
We will support you with language courses and exam preparation – with a special focus on nursing vocabulary.
In some cases, an additional adaptation course may be necessary – we will support you through that as well.

We work on a commission basis with healthcare facilities in Germany – you pay nothing for the placement or consultation.
Living & Working in Germany
Integration & Support
We support you with workplace integration, cultural orientation, housing, and administrative tasks.
We accompany you during your first days in the facility and are available in case of any problems.
Our work doesn’t end with your flight.
This includes understanding cultural differences, teamwork, communication, and routines in the healthcare system.
We are here to support you, find solutions together with you and your employer – and, if necessary, help you change to another facility.
Germany is a safe country with strong infrastructure, regulated working conditions, and a high quality of life.
Nurses are in high demand and are treated with respect.
We assist you in finding accommodation.
Often, employers provide housing or help you find a room or apartment near your workplace.
Before recognition, you will initially work as a nursing assistant. In this phase, you will already earn between €2,400 and €2,800 gross per month – a secure income while you prepare for your recognition process.
After recognition as a fully qualified nurse, your salary will increase significantly: you will usually earn between €2,800 and €3,300 gross per month, depending on the employer, collective agreement and region. With shift allowances, weekend and night shifts, you can additionally earn €200–400 per month.
This means: your salary rises automatically once you complete the recognition process – with clear career prospects and long-term security.
Yes.
If you have a residence permit and a valid work contract, you may apply for family reunification under certain conditions.
We will explain the process to you in detail.
