Frequently asked questions
What you need to know about working with us.
Why should we consider hiring Dutch healthcare professionals?
Dutch healthcare professionals are highly trained and bring a wealth of experience to the table. The Netherlands has a robust healthcare education system that emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Additionally, Dutch professionals are known for their proficiency in English and often possess a good command of German or French, making integration into Swiss teams smoother.
How does your staffing agency ensure the quality of candidates?
We rigorously vet all candidates through a comprehensive process that includes verifying their credentials, assessing language proficiency, conducting thorough interviews, and obtaining references. We also assist with the recognition of Dutch qualifications in Switzerland, ensuring that every professional we place meets the high standards expected by Swiss healthcare institutions.
What language skills can we expect from Dutch healthcare professionals?
Dutch healthcare professionals typically speak excellent English and often have proficiency in German or French. We ensure that all candidates have at least B2-level proficiency in the language required for the role. We also offer support in further language training if needed to ensure effective communication within your teams.
What roles can Dutch healthcare professionals fill in our institution?
Our healthcare professionals are qualified to fill a wide range of roles, including nursing, specialized nursing (e.g., ICU, OR), allied health professions (e.g., physiotherapists, occupational therapists), and certain medical specialties. We work closely with your institution to match candidates to your specific needs, ensuring that their skills and experience align with the requirements of the position.
What is the cultural fit of Dutch healthcare professionals in Swiss institutions?
Dutch professionals generally adapt well to the Swiss work environment. They are accustomed to working in a structured, high-quality healthcare system and value teamwork and clear communication. Additionally, their direct communication style can complement the precision and efficiency valued in Swiss healthcare settings. We also provide cultural orientation to help ease the transition.
How do you support the integration of Dutch professionals into our institution?
We provide comprehensive support to ensure a smooth transition, including assistance with language training, cultural orientation, and logistical aspects of relocation. We also facilitate communication between the candidate and your institution to address any concerns and ensure that the integration process is successful. Our goal is to ensure that the professionals we place are fully prepared to contribute effectively from day one.
What are the costs associated with hiring through your agency?
We offer transparent pricing and tailor our services to meet your budget and needs. We are happy to discuss the fee structure in detail and provide a quote based on your institution’s specific requirements.
How do you handle the recognition of Dutch qualifications in Switzerland?
We assist in the process of having Dutch healthcare qualifications recognized by the Swiss Red Cross (SRK), which is a prerequisite for working in Switzerland. This process can take several months, depending on the complexity of the qualifications. We manage the entire process, including document preparation, submission, and follow-up, ensuring compliance with Swiss regulations.
Can we hire Dutch healthcare professionals for temporary positions?
Yes, we offer both temporary and permanent placement services. Whether you need short-term coverage for staff shortages or long-term hires, we can match you with professionals who meet your specific needs. We ensure that even temporary staff are thoroughly vetted and fully prepared to integrate into your team.
What ongoing support do you provide after placement?
Our support doesn’t end once a candidate starts working at your institution. We offer ongoing assistance to both the healthcare professional and your institution to ensure a successful long-term placement. This includes follow-up on integration progress, addressing any challenges that arise, and providing additional support as needed to both the professional and your team.
