For care homes and elderly care
Your team grows — your costs don't
International nursing and care staff, trainees and volunteers — verified, without a placement fee, with recognition and visa in one place.
Your situation
What care homes face today
Gaps in the duty roster
Missing staff means overtime for your team and less time for residents.
Training places stay empty
Too few local applicants for nursing training.
Little time for bureaucracy
Recognition and visa are hard to manage alongside daily work.
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
