Within the framework of this partnership, initial pilot projects were developed to effectively address the increasing shortage of skilled professionals in healthcare. From this, a continuously growing process has emerged: we have now successfully selected over 130 professionals for deployment at more than 25 SeneCura locations.

The combination of the Orpea Group’s international reach and our expertise in language preparation, integration, and recruitment creates a sustainable solution. Professionals are not only integrated professionally into the European labor market but are also supported culturally to ensure long-term success.

This creates a clear added value: facilities benefit from stable staffing, residents from high-quality care, and professionals from new career opportunities in the European healthcare sector.

“With Talent & Care, we have found a recruitment agency that impresses with professional processes, high standards in German language proficiency, and an exceptional level of service. They are always accessible and actively support us with solutions. Colombian caregivers combine professional expertise with an open, warm manner that creates a special quality of relationship. Their appreciation for elderly people and their cultural values fit perfectly with us.”

In recent years, more than 400 relocations have been successfully organized in this way. The placement ranges from young talents and apprentices to highly qualified professionals, who are specifically prepared for the requirements of their new positions.

The Styrian Tourism Company has taken this initiative as an opportunity to produce a video that impressively documents the processes, the preparation of the professionals, and the cultural bridge between the home country and the destination country.

This success demonstrates how strategic, international recruiting sustainably strengthens companies in the trade and industry sectors while simultaneously providing young talents with new opportunities.

The cultural fit is excellent, making the recruitment of Colombian professionals a core part of the facility’s sustainable staffing strategy. In the future, additional professionals in nursing and related fields will also be employed.

The combination of the experience and expertise of Eisenmoorbad Bad Schmiedeberg-Kur-GmbH with our competence in language preparation, integration, and recruitment creates a sustainable solution. Professionals are integrated professionally into the labor market and supported culturally to ensure long-term success.

“Eisenmoorbad Bad Schmiedeberg-Kur-GmbH currently employs 16 nursing professionals from Colombia, who have integrated very well into the team and work reliably with high professional expertise. Some have already brought their families over and settled in perfectly—a crucial factor for long-term retention.”

Die kulturelle Passung ist hervorragend, sodass die Anwerbung kolumbianischer Fachkräfte inzwischen fester Bestandteil unserer nachhaltigen Personalstrategie ist. In diesem Jahr werden weitere 15 Pflegekräfte sowie erstmals 5 Physiotherapeuten aus Kolumbien eingestellt. Wir empfehlen diese Zusammenarbeit, auch mit unserer langjährigen Partneragentur, uneingeschränkt weiter.”

Together with Talent & Care, methods were developed to recruit skilled professionals across national borders and integrate them sustainably into the company. The key is not only placement but also the linguistic and cultural preparation of candidates, so they can be successfully integrated into work processes from day one.

The partnership with Ennstal Milch exemplifies how companies in the Trade & Industry sector can unlock new potential through international recruiting strategies—and secure themselves in the long term in the competition for skilled professionals.

“To effectively counter the skilled labor shortage, a full set of targeted measures is required. An important step is to expand recruiting activities beyond national borders. For this, reliable partners are needed who understand the company’s needs and provide the right professionals. With Talent & Care, we have found such a partner.”

As a market leader in recruiting nursing professionals from third countries, we are regularly in the public spotlight. On multiple occasions, the ORF, one of the largest public broadcasters in the German-speaking region, has interviewed us and followed our work with extensive documentaries.

It was not just about our work, but above all about the stories of the people: ORF followed our projects on site in Colombia and vividly showed the steps nursing professionals take to find new professional and personal opportunities in Europe—particularly in the DACH region.

The reports highlight the major challenges and opportunities: intensive language acquisition as the key to integration, the courage to leave behind family and home, the establishment of a new life in a foreign culture, and the opportunities for the European healthcare system through qualified immigration.

These media reports make our work visible to a broad audience and illustrate why our approach is considered exemplary on an international level. All reports and interviews can be found here—a unique insight into the journey of professionals from around the world to Europe.
