For Caritas, AWO, Diakonie and other non-profit organisations
For organisations that help people — and people who want to help with you
Professionals, trainees and volunteers for BFD and FSJ from abroad. Verified, without a placement fee, with recognition and visa in one place.
Your situation
What non-profit organisations face today
Many facilities, one staffing need
Nursing, care and social services are all hiring at once — often on a tight budget.
Volunteer places stay empty
Too few local applicants for BFD and FSJ.
Every euro counts
High placement fees don't fit non-profit budgets.
What makes PAKA different
Verified. No placement fee. All in one place.
- 01
Every profile is verified
Before a candidate becomes visible to you, PAKA checks their documents and holds a personal interview. You only see profiles that passed this check.
- 02
No placement fee
Other providers often charge 10.000 to 20.000 € per hired professional. With PAKA you pay a fixed monthly plan and decide yourself whom to hire.
- 03
Recognition and visa in one place
Recognition of qualifications, the fast-track procedure under § 81a AufenthG, visa and arrival: we support every step until the first working day.
What “verified” means at PAKA
For every candidate, these documents are in place before you see the profile:
- Identity and passport
- German language certificate
- Professional qualification and references
- School certificate
- Personal interview or introduction video
- DISC personality test
- Vaccination record
- Certificate of good conduct
