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.

Kassel, Germany — home of Fachkraft Ausland

Founded in Kassel, 2019

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

Our story

Built by people who've walked the path.

The founding team saw German companies struggling with the complexity of international recruitment — fragmented processes, visa bureaucracy, cultural gaps, and unreliable intermediaries. Fachkraft Ausland was built as the one-stop solution that handles everything: sourcing, visa processing, relocation, and cultural integration under one roof.

We focus on Asia's strongest talent markets — India, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Korea — where we maintain cooperation partnerships with trusted, experienced local partners. Our principle: every step is handled by a domain expert, not a generalist. A qualified Jurist manages legal and visa matters, an HR expert fluent in the target country's language runs the hiring process, and a dedicated intercultural coach prepares both talent and employer for a successful working relationship.

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.

A 30-person multi-cultural team with migration backgrounds from the countries we hire in. Offices in Kassel, Berlin, and partner offices in Mumbai, Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi, and Seoul. Every placement is backed by three domain experts: a Jurist for legal matters, an HR specialist for hiring, and an intercultural coach for onboarding.
