Come4Work is a platform that acts as an intermediary to connect talented employees looking for work abroad with employers and businesses looking for new talents.
The promised work and migration process is planned under conditions in accordance with the Skilled Labor Immigration Law.
The new law divides qualified employees into two categories: qualified workforce with vocational training and workforce with academic education. Vocationally trained workforce are people who have completed their vocational training. If someone has received a qualified vocational training in a foreign country, before applying for a visa, the competent equivalence authorities in Germany check whether the vocational training in question is equivalent to the vocational training in Germany. Qualified workforce with academic education includes those who graduated from a higher school in Germany, those who graduated from a foreign higher school whose equivalence procedures have been completed, or those who graduated from a foreign country with a diploma similar to that of a German university.
If the vocational training you received abroad is not fully recognized and deficiencies are detected compared to the education in Germany, you have the chance to participate in qualification programs in Germany. It is possible to stay there for a period of 18 months to ensure participation in these adaptation measures, but can be extended for up to two years. For this you generally need to know German and it must be at least A2 level. Working under a compliance program may be possible with some restrictions. In Germany, it may be possible to work in the desired employment within the framework of an agreement between the Federal Employment Agency and the institutions responsible for labor administration on intermediation for certain professional groups in some states.
The spouse and minor children of skilled workers, known as the core family, can apply for a family reunification visa. When obtaining a skilled worker visa, family members can also receive a family reunification visa. Applications for the core family can be submitted later as well. However, in such cases, documents regarding the skilled worker’s employment in Germany, income, housing situation, and the spouse’s language skills must be provided. If the skilled worker’s children are over 16 and will join the parent later, they must have proficiency in German.
After users upload the required documents (CV, portfolio, certificates, etc.) to the system, the system adds the person to a data pool based on the preferred company or position. If the employee is selected by the employer, we contact you directly through the site. In short, there is no direct communication between the employee and the employer.
If you are selected, we will request the necessary documents from you required for working abroad. We personally handle all your procedures with these documents.
Come4Work protects its users' data by encrypting it according to international standards. The information is accessible only to the users, and Come4Work cannot use user data without their consent.
