Hi Asmaa, I know how difficult it is to judge agencies from abroad, especially when you want to avoid any risks. “Deutsches Job Büro” is not an official German authority, and it’s important to know that in Germany there is no requirement to use a private agency for your recognition or for getting a job as a doctor. All official steps — such as the Berufserlaubnis, Approbation, or your visa — are handled only by state authorities like the Landesprüfungsamt, the Ärztekammer or the German embassies. Private agencies cannot speed up or influence these procedures, even if they sometimes promise it. Some agencies work seriously, others are unfortunately very expensive or make promises they can’t keep. Before trusting any agency, it’s always safer to check whether they are transparent about fees, contracts, and real employer connections in Germany. If something feels unclear or pressured, it’s usually a sign to be careful. You can complete the entire recognition process without any agency at all — directly, officially and usually much cheaper. And if you want support, make sure the organisation explains every step clearly and never asks you to pay large amounts upfront. A very helpful option for you is the official job platform of the German government, offered through Make it in Germany. You can find it here:
Make it in Germany – Official Job Portal This platform is completely official, free of charge and directly connected to the German Federal Employment Agency. Hospitals and clinics use it to publish real vacancies, and you can apply without intermediaries or extra fees. It’s one of the safest ways to search for positions from abroad because you know every listing is legitimate. If you ever want help checking a job offer or preparing your application, feel free to ask. Best, Sophie
