Frequently Asked Questions by Employers
What is the typical timeframe from requirement profiling to employee start date?
Depending on the specific trade, candidate availability, and German consulate appointment schedules, the timeline typically ranges between 2 to 4 months. With the German Fast-Track Procedure for Skilled Workers (§ 81a AufenthG), administrative processing can be substantially accelerated.
How is foreign vocational qualification equivalence evaluated?
Equivalence is officially assessed under the German Vocational Qualifications Assessment Act (BQFG) through responsible chambers (such as IHK FOSA or regional Chambers of Crafts). We assist both parties with certified translations, syllabus comparisons, and dossier filings.
What level of German do candidates possess prior to relocation?
Candidates are actively prepared in technical German. For workshop operations, we target certified A2 or B1 levels, focusing heavily on safety instructions, machinery vocabulary, and drawing notations.
Is this temporary staffing or direct permanent employment?
Exclusively direct employment. The candidate signs an official employment contract directly with your enterprise. TLH Workforce is not a temporary staffing agency and does not lease personnel.
