READ MORE...We recommend recruiting at least five to ten candidates at a time, as it is helpful for candidates to be placed in a small community of like-minded individuals. Our experience ranges up to projects with more than 50 candidates at the same time with one employer.
Interviews can be conducted in person if the employer chooses to travel to the sourcing region, or via video conference. CWC helps coordinate these interviews and ensures candidates are well prepared. CWC also provides technical support to ensure the interviews run smoothly.
The expected time frame for CWC to arrive in Germany is approximately ten to thirteen months. During this time period, CWC will complete all necessary processes for qualification recognition, labor market approval, work permit, and visa submission. At the same time, the candidate will use this time to take the required B1 or B2 exam (as required by the employer) in the home country. The candidate should have enough time to take the exam at least twice, which increases the likelihood of meeting these proposed deadlines.
