Why TalentSure
Your healthcare clients don’t buy candidates. They buy certainty.
Hospitals and care organisations that work with international nurses invest in relocation, language and BIG registration. Their question isn’t whether candidates exist, but whether the nurse arrives, gets registered and starts on the ward on time. Agencies that can answer that with confidence win the work — and that takes a talent supply you can scale and sight of every step.
The old way
- Non-EU sourcing that depends on one country or one recruiter
- Unclear timelines — the nurse never reaches your client
- Email chaos between partners, CIBG, IND and your client
- No way to scale across more clients and wards
- No clear answer when a client asks when their nurse starts
With TalentSure
- Nurses from the international talent network
- Clear milestones per nurse
- Language, BIG recognition and permit visible in one place
- Scalable across clients and wards
- Your own team in control — self-service
What TalentSure is
One platform. One talent network.
Seconding international nurses comes with two problems: finding enough of the right candidates, and keeping sight of language, BIG registration and permit for each of them. TalentSure answers both with two parts that work together.
Talent Network
Access to international nurses from multiple countries of origin, recruited in line with the WHO Global Code and with no fees for candidates. Your pipeline no longer depends on one country, partner or recruiter.
- Nurses from multiple countries of origin
- Pathways per country, including the EU route
- Ethical recruitment in line with the WHO Global Code
SaaS platform
Self-service software your recruitment and operations team works in. Choose pathways, match candidates to your client’s ward profile and see where language, BIG registration and permit stand for every nurse.
- AI Skill Match on your client’s ward profile
- Language, BIG and permit status per nurse
- One record per nurse instead of scattered inboxes
How it works
Choose, match, track.
Three steps, all in the platform, all run by your own team.
Pick a country of origin. Your pathway is ready.
TalentSure is self-service. You choose the profession and the country of origin, and the platform opens a predefined pathway with every step the Netherlands requires — from candidate selection to the first shift at your client. For EU/EEA nurses the pathway adapts automatically.
- Pathways per country of origin, including the EU route
- Candidates from the talent network in each country
- Every step tracked up to the first shift at your client

AI Skill Match
The AI reads your client’s ward profile and maps it to nurse profiles across the network — ranked by fit, so your team starts with the best candidates for each client.

Seconding international nurses involves your recruiters, source-country partners, the CIBG, the IND, language schools, your healthcare client and the nurse. The platform gives your team one view of where every nurse stands. It doesn’t replace the CIBG and IND procedures — your agency and the nurse go through those themselves.

The Dutch pathway
The rules for seconding international nurses in the Netherlands.
TalentSure is software: it shows each nurse’s status in one place. It does not file applications, give legal advice or carry out procedures with the CIBG, the IND or the NAU.
Wtta admission (from 1 Jan 2027)
Every agency that seconds workers needs admission from the Nederlandse Autoriteit Uitleenmarkt (NAU). Registration for the transition opens 1 November 2026.
BIG registration
Non-EU diplomas: assessment by the CBGV, the AKV test and, where required, the professional competence test — before registration in the BIG register.
Dutch language
The BIG procedure requires proven command of Dutch; the CIBG sets which level and which certificates count. Check the current requirements on bigregister.nl.
Permits for seconded nurses
Seconding non-EU workers comes with extra conditions — an agency acting as recognised sponsor needs SNA certification, and the government has announced limits on hiring out highly skilled migrants. Check per pathway which route applies.
EU/EEA nurses
Nurses with an EU/EEA diploma fall under automatic recognition and need no work permit.
Ethical recruitment
The talent network only recruits from countries not on the WHO health-workforce safeguard list, with no fees for candidates.
The difference
Partners & inboxes vs. TalentSure
Most agencies run international recruitment through partners abroad and their inbox. With TalentSure your own team works in one platform — with access to the talent network.
Who it’s for
Built for healthcare secondment agencies that want to scale international nurses.
TalentSure is infrastructure for agencies that want international nurses to be a structural, predictable part of what they deliver to hospitals and care organisations — not a one-off project.
