A Clear Recruitment Process With Defined Responsibilities

  • How long each phase typically takes
  • What output you can expect.

This gives you a predictable and legally compliant hiring process aligned with German requirements.

Typical shortlist: 3–5 qualified profiles per role

Typical sourcing phase: 10–14 working days

Structured support for visa, documentation, and arrival

Step-by-Step Recruitment

Our recruitment process is designed to be transparent, simple, and reliable. Here’s what you can expect:

We act as a single, reliable point of contact, simplifying your international hiring process.

1. Role Definition & Hiring Alignment

We work with you to define the job profile, required qualifications, and hiring criteria based on your operational needs and German market requirements.

2. International Candidate Sourcing & Pre-Screening

Through our international network, we identify and pre-screen qualified candidates based on technical skills, language level, and relocation readiness. You receive within 10–14 days: A shortlist of 3–5 pre-qualified candidates ready for interview.

3. Candidate Presentation & Selection for Interviews

You review the shortlisted profiles and select the candidates you wish to interview, based on your specific requirements and preferences.

4. Interview Phase

You conduct structured online interviews with selected candidates to assess their skills, experience, and cultural fit. Motiba supports coordination and technical setup if needed.

5. Final Selection & Hiring

You select your preferred candidate, and we support you in coordinating the offer, contract, and next steps of the hiring process.

6. Visa, Recognition & Administrative Process
We manage the full administrative process to ensure a legally compliant and efficient hiring process in Germany, including visa procedures and qualification recognition.

7. Candidate Preparation & Integration Support

Before arrival, candidates are prepared through language support, cultural orientation, and job-specific guidance to ensure a smooth transition.

8. Arrival & Onboarding

We support both employer and candidate during onboarding to ensure successful integration and long-term employment.

Post-Arrival Support & Retention

Our support does not end when the employee arrives. We remain available during the initial integration phase to support communication, resolve practical issues, and help reduce early-stage retention risks for both employer and employee.

What this helps reduce:

  • onboarding delays
  • communication gaps
  • early attrition risk
