WHAT THE PEOPLE WE HELPED TO MOVE SAY
Friends, if you are looking for an agency that not only helps you get Chancenkarte, but literally builds the red carpet for you to Germany, then here it is – Transparent Hiring, an agency that works better than Swiss watches, only without unnecessary pathos and with maximum care for the client! If the German bureaucrats knew who I was working with, they would simply give me a visa without question, because they are a guarantee of success. Their empathy is at the level of “reading your thoughts before you realize them.” It calms you so much that all your nerves dissolve somewhere in space, and instead of them – confidence and faith in success. Now seriously: the agency is 100% a team of professionals. Every little detail in the work is thought out, every step is verified in advance. They don’t just work – they enjoy what they do, and this fuels them for success. Guys, if you want your chances in Germany to become a reality, and not just another “well, I’ll think about it,” run here like Forrest Gump! Here even the bureaucracy dances to your tune.
3 months ago my family and I moved to Germany from Georgia. We are happy to live and work here! Transparent Hiring helped us with almost everything: from preparing CV to obtaining a residence permit and long-term apartment. Special thanks to our relocation specialists. They made the relocation process quite smooth!
A big thank you to the Transparent Hiring team and especially to our most important helper – the relocation specialist. It was very pleasant to work together; we felt their support at every step. We turned to Transparent Hiring because the timeline before my start at work was very short, and we had no time at all to figure out the process. We needed an expert who would guide us through all the steps. We considered different companies but ended up choosing this one because I heard about the experience of my former colleagues who were very satisfied with them. And we didn’t regret it either: everything was precise, clear, and fast. Thank you very much ❤️
Transparent Hiring helped me settle into my new place without stress, find an apartment, and navigate the nuances of relocation. A pleasant bonus in the form of a guide for the first steps helped me immediately feel grounded. I applied for the visa on my own, and it consumed a lot of nerves, time, and (worst of all) mental resources for searching and comparing information that was often contradictory. With support, obtaining a residence permit is a completely different experience. Without fears, with a sense of security, they took away all the mental burden of checking and researching all the questions. This allows me to direct more energy towards work, where I need free operational memory. I really appreciate such resource management and am grateful to Transparent Hiring specialists for their help with obtaining a residence permit and finding an apartment.
I would like to express my gratitude to the recruiter company that helped me prepare for an important job interview and ultimately enabled me to receive a job offer. This company provided invaluable assistance in both preparing for the initial interview and navigating through the subsequent relocation process.
The recruitment team was extremely helpful throughout every step of my relocation process; they provided guidance on what documents were needed for my visa application as well as advice on how best to prepare myself for interviews overseas. Overall it was truly a great experience working with them!
I want to express my immense gratitude to Transparent Hiring team for their invaluable assistance during our relocation process. From the very first steps, they were by our side, helping with documents, preparing us for interviews, and even giving advice upon arrival. I especially want to highlight the highest professionalism and attentive attitude towards our case from the immigration specialists. They were always in touch, consulting us on any issues and providing valuable recommendations. After the move, we continued our cooperation with Transparent Hiring and sought their help in preparing documents for the Blue Card – and everything went perfectly! We are sincerely grateful to the entire Transparent Hiring team for their diligent work and professionalism. Without them, our move to Germany would not have been so smooth. We confidently recommend this company to anyone planning to relocate!
With great pleasure I give Transparent Hiring their well-deserved 5-star review. I would recommend this team and wish them all the success. Thank you, friends, for your professionalism and responsibility, for always being there and ready to help!
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Transparent Hiring team for their excellent and impeccable work. I would like to especially thank the relocation specialists for their assistance in obtaining a residence permit. They are true professionals: they provided detailed information on all questions that I had, helped to correctly fill out and submit documents. It is very pleasant to deal with professionals! I will be happy to use the services of Transparent Hiring again and I will recommend them to my friends and acquaintances.
I partnered with Transparent Hiring in 2023 to facilitate my move to Germany. With a job offer already in hand, I sought their assistance with the visa process and overall relocation. They exceeded expectations by streamlining the entire process and providing clear, comprehensive guidance every step of the way. It’s truly refreshing to work with a team so passionate about their work and committed to every detail. A huge thank you to the entire team, especially the specialists I collaborated with, and to Inessa for her valuable advice!
I turned to Transparent Hiring when I received a job offer from a company in Munich. The introductory call left me with a very positive impression, and my wife and I decided to request the Premium relocation package. From the very first day, Transparent Hiring specialists were always in touch, answering all our questions and doubts very quickly and in detail. They guided us through the package of documents, helped us fill everything out correctly, and gave us very valuable advice on preparing for a visit to the embassy. We do not live in our country of citizenship, and Transparent Hiring specialists contacted the embassy in advance to clarify our options for applying for a visa. During the consideration by the embassy, additional requests came in, and they helped us to respond to them quickly and competently. In the end, everything worked out! We had a rather complicated case, but thanks to the support at all stages, I was able to successfully obtain a Blue Card. Now we have visas in our hands, and we are preparing to move. We are very grateful for the help and recommend Transparent Hiring!
I wanted to express my sincerest gratitude to Transparent Hiring for helping me find the right job and making the transition as smooth as possible, which truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I first spoke with you, I could sense your genuine concern for my career goals and your commitment to finding me a position that was the best fit for me. I was particularly impressed by your assistance with my relocation. Your guidance and support made the process seamless and stress-free, and for that, I am truly thankful, especially for being available all the time and answering every question I had. I am thrilled with my new job and have met the team in person now, they seem to be a right fit and very supportive as well. I couldn’t have done it without your help. Kindly do let me know if I can be of any help from my side e.g. sharing any new talent with you out of the trusted circle I have. Once again, thank you for all that you have done for me. Your support and encouragement have been invaluable, and I am grateful to have had the privilege of working with you.
When I got a job offer, my employer didn’t provide me with a relocation package. I understood that relocating and starting to work in a new country would be exciting but challenging: there’s a lot to adapt to, you need to focus on work tasks and continue learning the language. To ensure that both obtaining the necessary documents for living and working in Germany and finding accommodation went smoothly, I decided to turn to Transparent Hiring – and it was the best decision! Their specialists helped me with obtaining a visa, prepared all the documents, they were always in touch, reminded me of my appointments, and provided useful information after my arrival. I trusted them and continued to live a normal life, without worrying. Transparent Hiring also helped me find an apartment, answered numerous questions, and checked the rental agreement. As a result, the move went smoothly and easily! Now I live and work in Germany and wait for my residence permit. The assistance of Transparent Hiring saved me a lot of time and nerves. Now, I remember the move and the first weeks here as a good period because I didn’t experience stress from not knowing what to do and where to go – all the information was provided, and all the steps were planned in advance. Thanks, Transparent Hiring!
I had a career consultation with Transparent Hiring, and then they shared a very interesting position with me. The company is large, stable, with cool projects, and overall, you can’t wish for a better job opportunity. And then it started: several interview stages, during which Transparent Hiring specialists stayed in touch with me, helped as much as possible, and supported me. And, after a couple of months, I got an offer! Then the relocation started – and again, they carefully helped me with all the documents, suggested solutions, explained everything, they even contacted the migration service and the embassy on my behalf. Not to mention the numerous pieces of advice I received: which bank and insurance to choose, where to go and what to buy. They shared useful links, helped me to find temporary accommodation, and to apply for a visa. Long-term appartment search is still ahead, as well as the registration for a residence permit – but they can do that too! I was very worried before the relocation: nothing was clear, I did not know where to run, which appointments to arrange… But the specialists from Transparent Hiring definitely saved a couple of kilograms of my nerve cells. Only those who don’t just work in their business but live with it show this type of care for their clients. If you want to find a job in Germany and move here, be sure to contact them – you’ll save a lot of time and energy.
My story with Transparent Hiring started when I applied for one of the open positions on their website. At that time, my English level was not high enough. After a couple of months of hard work, when I improved my language skills, this position had already been filled, and I requested a career consultation. Inessa gave me some interview insights (what I need to say, and what is a no-go), helped me correct my resume, and explained where and how to search for positions. When I was applying for jobs myself, there were very few responses, but after Inessa’s corrections, the situation became much better, and the initiative came from the recruiters, and I only responded. When I received an offer, I had no doubts about contacting Transparent Hiring again – this time for a relocation package. They provided me with comprehensive assistance in preparing documents for both me and my children: everything was thoroughly checked, additional letters were requested from the employer, and they told me about the approximate deadlines so that I could inform the company about them. There was also an additional consultation on the first steps in Germany, which was very helpful. Thank you very much for your work and professional approach!
I wanted to find a job with Transparent Hiring from the moment I learned about this company. I submitted an application, and as soon as a suitable position appeared, the company wrote to me. The specialists helped me prepare my CV and motivation letter. I was also warmly supported during the interview process. They made me feel really special: I was “the boy who made it,” since no one got beyond the first stage of the interview for this position. This gave me confidence both in the next stages and in general. Then there was an amazing job of the relocation specialists. Here I would like to express my gratitude for their patience and understanding, as well as for an excellent expertise in my atypical case. They cheered for me and kept their fingers crossed, and with their help, support and valuable instructions, I received a visa. I am absolutely sure that I would never have managed it on my own. I would like to thank the entire Transparent Hiring company and Inessa personally for helping me make my dream come true (there is no exaggeration here – I have wanted to move to Germany since 2018). We are settling in, there are still many difficulties ahead, but thanks to Transparent Hiring, my wife and I can make plans for the future again, and this is such a nice feeling!
My wife and I recently moved to Germany, and I would like to thank Transparent Hiring for their help! The agency’s specialists helped with my resume and gave useful tips on how to successfully pass interviews at their partner company. And thanks to them I received an offer in Dusseldorf! Then Transparent Hiring also assisted me in gathering documents for my work visa, and then my wife with her visa. And even after we moved, they helped us more than once with advice on various bureaucratic issues! It’s also very convenient that they created a chat for relocated specialists on Telegram, where you can ask any questions about moving and living in Germany.
I want to say a huge thank you to Transparent Hiring. With their help, my entire relocation process was incredibly smooth and comfortable! From the moment we began working together, I was impressed by the professionalism and attentiveness of the agency’s staff. They turned out to be not only experts in the field of relocation but also reliable partners, ready to answer all my questions and solve any problems that arose. The preparation of the necessary documents was carried out at the highest level. Transparent Hiring provided me with a clear plan of action for each step of the relocation, which greatly reduced the stress associated with the relocation. I especially want to highlight the efficiency in solving problems. Every point requiring attention was immediately addressed and effective solutions were proposed. This gave me a feeling of confidence and confirmed that I made the right choice in choosing this agency.
Hereby I want to confirm that Transparent Hiring is the best HR company I ever dealt with 🙂 Here is my story. In April 2022 I found a link to their website and left my CV and cover letter. In two days I got an email from Inessa Tikonov with an invitation for a quick review meeting where we discussed the Transparent Hiring working policy, I told them about myself and my expectations from the tech stack. Inessa helped me a lot with my CV and gave me valuable advice regarding interviews, and after several interviews, two companies made a job offer to me! Transparent Hiring not only accompanies you during the interviews and job search but also provides full help with the relocation process. Transparent Hiring, I wish you all the best!
Transparent Hiring accompanied me from searching for a job until registration and solving basic issues on-site. The nuances of an interview, communication with the employer, visa issues, and much more – all this in one place. Transparent Hiring does not follow a template but takes into account your specific situation. Even if problems arise, they will not leave you alone and will provide everything you need to obtain visas for you and your family. Moreover, they help with additional steps. Be sure that not a single question of yours will be left unanswered (in my case, the correspondence already exceeds 100 letters). I was amazed at how thoroughly and clearly they answered me, every nuance was covered, and I learned a lot of new things. The company also posts a lot of useful videos on YouTube channel and develops a community on Telegram, which greatly helps to find answers to any questions and find new friends.
This summer I received an offer from one of the IT companies in Berlin and, accordingly, I needed a visa to Germany. After reading a lot of instructions on how to submit papers for a visa application, I decided to turn to professionals and made the right decision. Transparent Hiring and personally Inessa helped me with all the necessary documents, filled out a huge pile of necessary forms in German, and also checked those that I filled out on my own. I was accompanied throughout the entire process of moving – from signing a contract with the employer to registering at the place of residence in Berlin. Top quality service from professionals who know their job, I recommend them.
I would like to express my gratitude to Inessa, she offered me a great job in a large German company. After going through several stages of interviews, I received an offer from them. At the same time, Inessa accompanied the whole process, helped in the choice (at that moment I had another offer from another company), was always in touch, gave practical advice and told me a lot not only about work, but also about life in Germany: about insurance, tax classes, and other details. It’s priceless to feel such support in a new country! Thank you!
I am very glad that I stumbled upon Transparent Hiring, and Inessa in particular. The company accompanied me in everything from preparing my resume to helping me choose a SIM card. I felt how many problems the company helped me avoid, without this company I would have drawn up documents several times longer.
I am grateful to Inessa and Transparent Hiring for helping me find a job in Germany and accompanying me through the entire relocation process. Firstly, I was lucky that through Inessa my resume got into the company of my dreams, I am extremely glad that I got into this team! And secondly, thanks to detailed consultations, the preparation of documents and obtaining a visa for my husband and I passed without unnecessary difficulties. In addition, Inessa helped to translate and understand the details of the employment contract, gave recommendations on finding housing and very clear instructions on the first steps after the move. I am very glad that I went all this way, accompanied by a professional with great practical experience!
Inessa is a great professional. Thanks to her, I managed to get an offer from a large IT company in Munich. Moreover, the amount in the contract turned out to be much higher than expected 🙂
Inessa assists at all stages. From useful tips on how to behave and what to look for in technical interviews, to useful links and life hacks for finding accommodation.
And this was surprising for me, because earlier I thought that the work of recruiters ends after the offer is signed.
I think that I was very lucky that I met Inessa at one time. I recommend everyone who is looking for a job in Germany to contact her. You will receive invaluable help and knowledge from a person who is well-versed in this.
I consider it a great success that my relocation journey to Germany began with Transparent Hiring. Thank you for preparing for the interview and selecting interesting vacancies, as well as for advice on preparing documents for a visa and detailed instructions on what to do upon arrival in Germany. Thank you for your work, it was a pleasure to cooperate!
I don’t know how to write reviews and never wrote them, but here it is.
Documents for visa/insurance 10 out of 10.
Job search support 10 out of 10.
Responsiveness and friendliness 10 out of 10.
I moved with my wife to Germany a little over a year ago. I learned about Transparent Hiring on the recommendation of friends. We were both looking for a job in the same city and wanted to find a job at the same time. Actually, everything turned out in the best way, Inessa immediately suggested an option that interested us. We successfully passed the interviews and got an offer. Further, the whole process of issuing a blue card was led by Inessa, we didn’t really know anything, all the work with the documents was done for us and we just had to sign. It was a very simple process. The housing issue was also resolved by Inessa. When people ask me how difficult the relocation was, I tell my story, and everyone says that we were very lucky. Every luck has a name, and in our case its name is Inessa Tikonov.
