Digital staffing agency specializing in placing licensed EU physicians with German hospitals

The company offers an integrated service that ranges from recruiting qualified physicians in several European countries to preparing documentation, providing online training in medical terminology, and assisting with the medical licensing process, all the way through to targeted placement at German hospitals. The company also handles the creation of candidate profiles, outreach to chief physicians, and the organization of interviews and clinical shadowing sessions, and supports the physicians until they begin work. Compensation is based on performance-based placement fees paid by the hospitals. A high degree of predictability is ensured by the 97% FSP pass rate and an annually replenished candidate pool that already includes approximately 100 physician profiles.

The company operates exclusively in the B2B sector and serves hospitals throughout Germany, with which it has more than 150 framework agreements. The direct points of contact are typically the chief physicians of the respective medical departments, with whom the company has built trusting relationships over many years. The customer base is broadly diversified, such that the five largest customers account for only about 27% of revenue, and no single customer contributes more than 10%. The clinic pays compensation in the form of a performance-based placement fee, which is generally due when the physician begins employment. Since many clinics regularly rely on the company to meet their needs for resident physicians, this results in stable and predictable demand.

The German healthcare market is facing a structural shortage of doctors, as more than 130,000 doctors will retire over the next ten years, while only about 6,000 medical school graduates will enter the workforce each year. Vacant physician positions remain unfilled for a median of 167 days—more than twice as long as the average for all occupations. Hospitals are therefore increasingly reliant on international professionals, as evidenced by the number of foreign doctors practicing in Germany, which rose by ~47% to >71,000 between 2018 and 2025.

The company competes with general recruitment agencies, agencies for contract and leased physicians, specialized healthcare recruiters, and hospitals that recruit abroad themselves. It clearly sets itself apart with a placement rate of >90% compared to an industry average of ~50% and an FSP pass rate of 97% compared to ~65% in the market. Added to this is a referral network in the candidates’ home countries that has grown over the years and a scalable online model that has reduced pre-financing per candidate by ~60% since 2026.
