For employers

You describe the need, we look for the right people

Regalis records your requirements in detail and searches in several countries on that basis. You decide yourself who you hire.

What you can expect from us

  • One profile, no scattergun

    We start searching once the requirements are clear. That spares you applications that do not fit.

  • Pre-selection on the ground

    Our contacts speak to candidates in person. Documents and details are checked before anyone is presented.

  • Direct employment

    You sign a direct employment contract with the employee. No agency relationship arises, because we do not lease staff.

  • Paperwork coordinated

    We coordinate the papers for employment, entry and residence. We keep an eye on authorities and deadlines.

  • Accommodation settled early

    Housing often decides whether a placement works. Whether you provide accommodation or help with the search is settled before we approach candidates.

  • One point of contact

    You speak to one office, not five. We bundle the questions from the countries of origin for you.

Accommodation and settling in

For a placement through Regalis, you provide accommodation for the first months or actively help with finding a home. We recommend providing accommodation, because it makes it easier for candidates to accept. The clearer your information, the more precisely we explain it to candidates.

  • Provided: furnished room, flat or shared accommodation
  • Help with the search: contacts to landlords, a temporary solution or a contribution to the rent
  • Rent, running costs and duration
  • Distance to the site and public transport links
  • A transport service or a vehicle provided
  • A contact in the company for the first few weeks

From the agreement to the first working day

This is how a placement runs. How long a step takes depends on the occupation, the documents and the authorities. That is why we do not promise fixed deadlines.

  1. 1

    Placement agreement You and Regalis

    We put services, fee and process in writing. Only then does the search begin.

  2. 2

    Introduction Regalis

    We introduce checked profiles to you. In your portal you see each profile without name and contact details.

  3. 3

    Your decision You

    After the interview you decide. You give your feedback in the portal or directly to us.

  4. 4

    Employment contract You and the person

    You sign the employment contract directly with the person. Regalis is not a party to the employment contract.

  5. 5

    Recognition and visa The person, you and the authorities

    Where needed, the person applies for recognition and the visa. Regalis coordinates the documents. For some steps the authorities need information from you.

  6. 6

    Entry The person

    After the visa, the person enters the country. The accommodation for the first months is then ready, provided by you or found with your help.

  7. 7

    Start of work You and the person

    The person starts working for you. We agree the first working day together.

  8. 8

    Aftercare Regalis

    We remain available for questions from both sides after the start. What exactly is included is set out in the placement agreement.

The placement agreement and our terms and conditions apply.

Frequently asked questions

How do I report my staffing need?

Through the employer questionnaire. It takes you through seven sections: company, contact person, position, pay, requirements, housing, remarks and consent.

Filling it in takes about fifteen minutes. After sending, you receive a reference number by email.

What does a placement cost?

A placement fee falls due only on successful placement. We agree the amount with you in writing beforehand.

Reporting a staffing need through the website commits you to nothing and triggers no payment obligation.

What happens after we say yes?

You sign the employment contract directly with the person. Where needed, recognition and the visa follow, then entry and the start of work. Regalis coordinates the documents and remains your contact.

How do I see the status of my request?

Every request gets a reference number. In the employer area you sign in with your email address.

There you can see for each case where it stands and what happens next. You do not need a password for it.

Can we have a short call first?

Yes. On the intro call page you see our free times and book one yourself. The call takes twenty minutes and runs by phone or by video.

It costs nothing and commits you to nothing. With an email address you receive the appointment for your calendar and a link to cancel.

Prefer a phone call?

The call is free of charge and without obligation.
