Meet us at Web Summit Lisbon, 9–12 November 2026.

For international nurse recruiters

Every nurse, every stage, one board.

Recruiting nurses into Germany? Settio follows each candidate from documents to recognition, language, visa and arrival, and shows each hospital its pipeline.

Sound familiar?

What slows a cohort down

  • A recognition file stalls on one missing document
  • Language certificates, visa appointments and start dates live in different spreadsheets
  • Hospitals ask for updates by email, one candidate at a time
One row per candidate, one column per stage
DocumentsRecognitionLanguageVisaArrival
  • A cohort per hospital

    Bring in the candidates for one employer with a target start. Each gets a plan.

  • Recognition, step by step

    The application and its documents, then full recognition or a deficit notice, the adaptation course or knowledge exam, and the licence to practise.

  • Language and visa on the same row

    B1 and B2 certificates as steps with their own document slot, next to the visa appointment and the residence permit.

  • Each hospital sees its pipeline

    A client report with the cohort: who is at which stage, and what comes next.

Germany

The routes nurses take.

Each candidate's plan follows the route they are on, written against official German sources.

Recognised before entry

The qualification is recognised first, then the residence permit as a skilled worker.

Entry for recognition measures

Entry to complete an adaptation course or prepare for the knowledge exam, with work alongside it.

The recognition partnership

Recognition completed in Germany under an agreement between the nurse and the employer.

The accelerated procedure

The employer starts the procedure for skilled workers in Germany, with the nurse's power of attorney.
