We're Fixing Healthcare's
Broken Pipeline

Germany needs 500,000+ nurses. Millions of qualified professionals abroad want to help. But bureaucracy stands in the way. We're changing that.

Our Mission

More Nurses. Less Paperwork.

We started HeyGermany because we saw a broken system. Qualified nurses from around the world want to work in Germany. German hospitals and care facilities desperately need them. But between these two groups stands an 18-month bureaucratic nightmare.

Our platform cuts through the chaos with intelligent automation, instant qualification checks, and direct employer matching. We're not just another recruitment agency—we're building the infrastructure to solve Germany's nursing crisis.
