FAQs
No, you will never be asked to pay for our recruitment services. At CIMS, we follow the Employer Pays Principle, meaning that the healthcare institutions we work with cover all recruitment costs.
In the case that an upfront payment is required for logistical reasons, the amount will be fully reimbursed once you arrive in your destination country.
Qualification requirements vary depending on the specific needs of each employer. However, in general, you must have:
- A completed 3-year nursing education (or equivalent)
- Language proficiency in the country where you wish to work.
Note about job openings in Germany: If you’re applying to work in Germany, all employers will require a B1 or B2 level German language certificate. Our partner, CWC Recruitment, will support you throughout your language learning journey and monitor your progress through the CWC Language Center.
Not all job openings require prior work experience. However, hospitals typically prefer candidates with at least some practical nursing experience, while nursing homes are often open to hiring nurses without previous professional experience.
Experience requirements vary depending on the employer, so be sure to carefully review the job description to see if you meet the qualifications before applying.
Yes, bringing your family with you is possible. However, based on our extensive experience in international nurse recruitment, we recommend that you first relocate and settle into your new environment before arranging for your family to join you.
Relocating to a new country involves significant adjustments, including cultural adaptation, housing, and completing various administrative processes. For a smoother transition, we suggest waiting at least one year before bringing your family, though the exact timing depends on how quickly youโre able to settle in and feel stable in your new role.
