Does your specialist or manager meet the requirements for legal entry into the country? Does he/she possess a valid visa? If so, we will be able to assist in all relocation matters from this point onward. First, we clarify basic questions about finding accommodations and acquiring health insurance, necessary bank accounts and registration with appropriate German authorities.
NEW 2022: For skilled workers from third countries, we take over the preparation and implementation of the application for a work permit and visa as part of the accelerated procedure under the Skilled Immigration Act (FEG) together with your company and your new skilled worker.
VORHOLT Relocation Services does not recruit specialists and executives, but has several established contacts with well-known and successful recruitment agencies. We partner with renowned head-hunters in the region.
Important company resources are spared: In discussions with local employees, it is clear that they are happy to assist their new colleagues from abroad, when possible. Using our relocation services avoids any negative effects and expectations of relying on help from colleagues at work. The goal is to avoid any added stress to the new employee and his/her colleagues so that, while at work, everyone can focus on their job performance – especially if there is no specific company resource for new employee orientation and integration.
Privacy is protected: Of course, there are many personal issues and private concerns that should not be addressed in the company and among work colleagues. This is especially true when an entire family is involved. Our services provide an external person of trust to support the client discreetly and effectively.
VORHOLT Relocation Services is happy to arrange language courses for incoming specialists and executives.
Our tip: We recommend language courses to take place at the work site. The face-to-face instruction motivates and communicates quickly and intensively the German culture. In addition, language skills can be well supplemented in online courses.
At VORHOLT Relocation Services, intercultural seminars provide a good start. They expand the knowledge of cultural norms, traditions and differences for the current employees as well as for the new skilled workers. This promotes positive understanding for everyone in the work environment.
For a short-stay, local tourist information agencies are helpful and they often have a list of vacation rentals on their websites. Also platforms like Airbnb or booking.com can be useful in the search.
If the specialist stays longer, local real estate agents can be helpful. It is important to plan for a deposit (about three months rent) and an agency fee, which may be required.
VORHOLT Relocation Services is pleased to help you find a place to live. For individual needs, we develop a profile together and then look for the appropriate accommodation (apartment/house). Before moving in we ensure that gas, electricity, water and WIFI are registered and working. Of course, we also ensure that the new address is registered with the relevant authorities and agencies.
We are happy to provide relocation services for specialists and executives from other regions of Germany – depending on their concerns and needs.
