Companies with the Fair Recruitment Healthcare Germany seal of quality have to maintain ethical standards and fulfil a catalogue of criteria that takes into account aspects relevant to human and occupational health and safety. These standards include, among others, the Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights of the United Nations, the Labour Standards of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Welcome Culture & Integration Toolbox of the German Competence Centre for International Skilled Workers in the Health and Nursing Professions (DKF).

In this respect, working with companies that hold the seal of quality offers a guarantee for fair and ethical recruitment with a high degree of transparency compared to recruitment practices, some of which are neither transparent nor meet international standards.
