What we do for you

What we take care of

01

Support in your home country

We are based in Bosnia and available for the whole region. We guide you step by step through visa, work permit and paperwork: preparing documents, booking your consulate appointment, communicating with the authorities and tracking your application.

02

Your profile in our database

We record your qualifications, work experience and language skills and create your profile in our database of more than 68,000 professionals. That lets us present you to the right employers in Germany and the EU.

03

Free of charge – guaranteed by law

A licensed employment agency may not charge candidates any fees – it is prohibited by law. That is why you pay nothing with us: no registration fee, no commission, no hidden costs. Our services are paid exclusively by the employer. If anyone asks you for money in our name, please report it to us immediately.

04

Licensed employment agency

Balkan Recruiters is a brand of SSC d.o.o., an officially licensed private employment agency in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Licence no. UPI 03-30/12-125/26 EB). You are working with a verified, registered intermediary.

05

Health insurance from day one

Every professional we place is covered by health insurance. Through our partnership with BARMER we help you register so that your cover starts from your first working day in Germany.

Frequently asked questions

Questions from candidates

No – and we are not allowed to. The law prohibits licensed employment agencies from charging candidates any fees. Our placement service is completely free for you: no registration fee, no commission, no hidden costs. Our services are paid exclusively by the employer.

We do. Professionals from most Western Balkan countries need a work visa for Germany. We prepare the documents with you, book the consulate appointment, communicate with the authorities and track the progress of your application.

It depends on the visa category and your profession. Typically, around 10 to 12 weeks pass between the signed employment contract and your first working day.

Basic German at A1 or A2 level, or good English, is an advantage. The exact requirements depend on the job and the employer – we will tell you honestly which positions are realistic for you.

Yes. Every professional we place is covered by health insurance. Through our partnership with BARMER we help with registration so that cover starts from your first working day.
