International Migration Services Hesse (IMD)

Matchmaking, language qualification and integration of skilled workers from abroad

The idea behind our International Migration Service is innovative and forward-looking: skilled workers are recruited abroad and subsequently prepared for the labor market in Germany. This offer is a response to current social and economic developments in Germany and Europe.

The pandemic has put healthcare systems around the world to the test and shown how important not only doctors but also well-trained nurses are. The shortage of skilled workers is not limited to the healthcare system. Engineers, IT specialists, scientists, educators and craftsmen are also in high demand.

We bring demand and supply together at fair conditions and thus counteract the shortage of skilled workers.

If you and your company are looking for skilled workers, you are welcome to find out more here or contact us directly. We can also advise you by phone or present our offer face-to-face.

Fair and sustainable solutions

In 2011, the IB started to develop the International Migration Services – recruitment of skilled workers abroad – in order to help unemployed young adults from abroad to find a job in Germany. 

Annually, the IB helps around 200 young people into a career in Germany. The IB is offering modular services including language courses, integration services, accommodation and support you to find a job. The well-trained and motivated experts learn German in intensive language courses and live in hotels, host families or in houses or apartments offered by the IB.

Our objective as an organization, during the process of recruitment and placement of candidates in Germany, is to ensure the fulfillment of obligations and rules based on the following principles:

In February 2022, the International Migration Service of the IB was awarded the RAL quality mark "Fair Recruitment Care Germany". Accordingly, we ensure that our cooperation partners respect and follow the mentioned principles just as we do. Here you can find out more about the quality mark and the associated specifications and quality features.
