For the applicant / candidate, finding a job from us costs nothing. The costs for this service are covered by the employer.

Sometimes even these expenses are partially covered by the employer, but this is a personal decision of the employer.

In some professions, communication in English is common. However, depending on the requirements of the workplace and the employer, knowledge of the German language may be required. This knowledge is necessary to communicate with the employer. A1 level of the language would be necessary. You can reach this level very quickly by taking a German language course in your country before you arrive in Germany.
Generally it is always good when someone has work experience. However, most jobs do not require any previous work experience. The most important thing is the readiness and willingness of the employee to learn new skills and to perform different tasks.
We work with different employers in Germany and in other German-speaking countries (such as Austria or Switzerland). The location of the workplace is different, depending on the location of the employer. Before the employee signs the employment contract, he is informed in advance about the location of the job. Of course, you can communicate your preference for the location of the workplace. We will try to take these preferences into consideration.
The duration depends on the job position and the employer. Some jobs are seasonal, with a duration of 3-4 months, while other jobs are for longer-term projects.
It depends on the workplace. Each vacancy notice also contains information on whether the job is full-time or part-time.

Currently in Germany, the gross salary for a full-time job (40 hours/week) is €2,079/month, or €12/hour. Overtime pay, annual leave pay or Christmas pay, as well as other allowances may be added to the above basic salary.
This depends on each employer's tax status/classification. Depending on this tax classification, the net monthly salary can vary between €1,300 – €1,650 per month. Also, if the employer provides accommodation and food, payment for the latter is also deducted from the salary.
Some employers already have experience with this issue and can provide the necessary assistance. Employers often provide accommodation for employees in their premises or in other premises. In addition, often employers partially or completely provide food for their employees.
Accommodation costs depend on the size and location of accommodation. A room in an apartment with shared bathroom and kitchen with several other people can cost around €300/month. If the employer makes accommodation available to the employee, then the employee normally pays a lower payment, thus making the accommodation cheaper.

After submitting the application, we contact the applicant to conduct the first interview. This interview is done online. Then, a personal interview takes place in Albania, and finally a final interview with the employer. The latter decides whether or not to employ the applicant.
The job description document also contains information about the documents that must be submitted to complete the application. Here you can find information about job vacancies.
Application documents can be submitted in the Albanian language. If requested by the employer, it may be necessary for the documents to be translated into German. In this case we will send you further information.
If you want to work in Germany on a regular basis, then you will need a visa or work permit. For this you have to apply at the German embassy in your country. We are happy to help you throughout this process, not only with information but also concretely.
The residence and work permit in Germany is linked to the specific employer who has offered the employment contract. This means that you get a residence permit to work for a specific employer. If you want to change the employer, then you must undertake the change and adaptation of the residence permit yourself. This takes time and you have to find a new employer yourself.
The salary is transferred to the personal bank account in Germany. Depending on the employer, it is sometimes not necessary to open a bank account in Germany, and the salary can be transferred to an existing bank account in the employee's country of origin.
When you arrive in Germany, we or your employer will help you open a bank account there. For some banks it is even possible to open a bank account online.
This depends on the type of bank account and the bank itself. A simple current account costs around €5/month in Germany. However, accounts that pay a regular monthly salary are often free.
The amount of taxes paid on the salary depends on the personal status (eg married or not) as well as the tax status (tax class in Germany) of the employee. In Germany, as in many other countries, taxes on gross wages are paid by employees and employers.
When someone is regularly employed in Germany, then this person is insured in terms of health and social security.
If someone is insured in Germany, then the health insurance covers the costs of medical treatment or hospital stay. Only in some special cases, the patient will have to pay a very small part of the costs.
The easiest and cheapest way is to travel by bus to Germany. There are also flights to Germany. Sometimes it may be possible to arrange a special bus with just the employees, eg. during the start of seasonal work.
We recommend traveling by bus, due to the low costs. A bus ticket costs between €50 and €70.
Normally, accommodation costs are covered by the employee himself. However, sometimes employers can cover part of these costs. The employer himself decides on this.
When you arrive in Germany, if necessary, we accompany you to the employer and introduce you there. Then the employer is your first point of contact. However, you or the employer can contact us at any time if you may need our help with certain matters.
The list of required documents can be found on the website of the German embassy. Here you can find the documents published by the German embassy in Albania.
The costs for obtaining a visa are determined by the German embassy. These expenses are covered by the applicant himself.
This depends on the procedures of the German embassy. We cannot influence or speed up the process, but we can help you to have your documents ready and complete to get your visa as soon as possible.
