Step 1 — Initial Application

Your journey begins by providing information about your professional background and international career objectives.

Depending on the occupation, we may consider:

• Professional qualifications
• Education and training
• Relevant work experience
• Language skills

An initial assessment does not constitute a guarantee of employment or immigration approval.

Topics may include:

• Preferred occupation and career direction

The purpose is to establish realistic expectations and identify the most appropriate recruitment pathway for your situation.

A strong professional profile can make international recruitment more effective.

Depending on the recruitment project, support may include:

• European-style CV preparation
• Professional profile review
• Motivation letter preparation

• Document organization
• Interview preparation
• Employer-specific preparation

The objective is to present your qualifications and experience clearly and accurately to potential employers.

Step 5 — Language Preparation

Language requirements vary considerably between occupations, employers, and destination countries.

Depending on the opportunity, you may need to improve your German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, English, or another relevant language.

Language preparation may include:

• General language development
• Professional vocabulary
• Workplace communication
• Interview preparation
• Technical terminology

The required level is determined by the destination country, profession, employer, and specific position.

• Language level
• Occupation
• Employer requirements
• Location

We aim to introduce candidates to opportunities where there is a realistic professional fit.

Step 7 — Employer Interview

If an employer is interested in your profile, an interview may be arranged.

Interviews may take place by:

• Video conference
• Telephone
• Online interview platforms
• In-person meetings

Before an interview, we may provide information about the employer, position, workplace, recruitment process, and expectations.

We can also provide interview preparation and coordinate communication between you and the employer.

Step 8 — Selection & Employment Contract

The employer makes the final recruitment decision.

If you are selected, the employer may provide an employment offer or employment contract.

Depending on the project, we can help you understand matters such as:

• Salary
• Working hours
• Benefits
• Vacation
• Probation period
• Start date
• Workplace location
• Relocation arrangements

The employment relationship is concluded directly between the employer and the candidate.

Step 9 — Qualification Recognition

Some professions are regulated and require formal recognition or licensing before professional practice is permitted.

Depending on your occupation and destination country, this may involve:

• Qualification assessment
• Certified documents
• Official translations
• Professional recognition
• Licensing procedures
• Additional training or examinations

Requirements vary by country and profession.

• Government forms

Step 12 — Arrival & Workplace Integration

Moving to another country is only the beginning of the international career journey.

During the initial period after arrival, candidates may need support with workplace communication, administrative matters, housing, transportation, and cultural adaptation.

Depending on the recruitment project and agreed services, ReachGlobal may continue providing practical guidance during the early integration period.

How Long Does the Process Take?

There is no single timeline for international recruitment.

The overall duration can depend on:

• Your current language level
• Your occupation
• Employer availability
• Interview scheduling
• Qualification recognition
• Professional licensing
• Immigration procedures
• Document preparation
• Destination country
• Individual circumstances

Candidates who already meet the relevant professional and language requirements may progress more quickly, while candidates requiring language training or recognition procedures may require substantially more time.

We aim to provide realistic expectations rather than promising an artificial fixed timeline.

Important Information

Participation in the ReachGlobal recruitment process does not guarantee employment, an interview, an employment contract, visa approval, residence authorization, or relocation.

Employers make their own recruitment decisions. Qualification recognition and immigration decisions are made by the competent authorities.

Opportunities depend on employer demand, candidate suitability, professional requirements, language skills, and the availability of suitable international recruitment projects.
