The Onea Care Process
Interviewing and selection of candidates in countries outside the EU
Interviewing and selection of candidates
The first step in the Onea Care process is to pre-select the candidates in their home country. Thanks to our network of partner universities, candidates for a placement in a German facility can apply to us and will be selected based on Onea Care criteria. The candidates reviewed by us have certified healthcare qualifications. When selecting candidates for placements in German clinics or care homes, we also take long-term motivation into consideration. Occupational experience and areas of focus during studies/training play an especially important role here.
