Recruitment service provider

The standards for fair and sustainable international recruitment in Saxony set clear guidelines for ethical cooperation with international skilled workers and trainees:

• Recruitment is voluntary, without coercion or deception.

• Recruitment service providers are familiar with the legal framework and present it in a transparent and understandable manner.

• The labor market situation in the country of origin is taken into account - in developing countries only if bilateral agreements with Germany exist.

• There are no placement costs for the recruited persons and all other costs are disclosed. Commitment clauses or repayment obligations are excluded.

• Careful careers advice and a review of qualifications and motivation are carried out in the country of origin.

• The skilled workers are intensively prepared for life and work in Saxony - including language training that goes beyond the minimum level required by law

In the ZEFAS recruitment overview, you will find qualified service providers with experience in the sustainable recruitment of international specialists and workers. Also listed are specialized relocation service providers who support companies and new employees throughout the entire process - from entry to successful integration.

All listed service providers have provided evidence of their professional and responsible working methods in the form of self-disclosure and a declaration of commitment. The overview provides orientation and more security in the recruitment process for Saxon companies.

Caution should be exercised with certain characteristics, as they can indicate dubious recruitment service providers:

• A first warning sign is a lack of transparency. If there is no clear information about the recruitment process, the fee structure or the exact procedure and the terms of the contract are unclear, you should be skeptical.

• Unrealistic promises - such as filling vacancies extremely quickly - also often indicate a lack of seriousness.

• It is particularly critical if the service provider's discussions revolve almost exclusively around financial aspects or if high amounts (several thousand euros) are requested in advance.

• Another sign of a lack of professionalism is inadequate communication, poor availability or unreliability. If a personal meeting is not possible, this should also make you suspicious.

• Last but not least, a poor online presence can also be an indication of a dubious provider. Missing or incomplete information such as an imprint, terms and conditions, data protection information or contact options, incorrect language, unprofessional design or the lack of a secure HTTPS connection should make you suspicious.
