Velai partner programme

For the people who guide engineers abroad.

Study-abroad agencies, career counsellors, language teachers and placement cells: refer software and IT engineers to Velai, verify them properly, and receive a commission once they start work in Germany.

Joining costs nothing. No volume targets. Candidates never pay you anything.

How it works

Four steps, always in this order

You do the verification. Velai does the matching, the employer side, the visa and the move.

  1. 01

    Add and verify

    You add each candidate one at a time: CV, degree, experience letters, an anabin check and a video call to confirm who they are.

  2. 02

    The candidate confirms

    They get an e-mail, check their details and accept Velai's terms — which name you and say you receive a commission.

  3. 03

    Velai matches and places

    Our account managers review the profile, match it to German employers and run interviews, offer, visa and relocation.

  4. 04

    You're paid after they start

    Once the candidate has started work in Germany and the fee is collected, your commission is paid in the weekly Monday run.

Your role

What partners do — and must never do

Your verification is what the commission pays for. It also protects the people you refer.

Partners do

  • Meet each candidate on a video call and check their identity against their ID.
  • See the original degree and check the university on anabin.
  • Upload the CV, certificates and experience letters, and explain any gaps.
  • Tell the candidate that Velai charges a placement fee after a German job offer, that the terms are given in writing before they pay, and that you receive a commission from it.

Partners never

  • Charge a candidate any fee, deposit or favour — for anything related to Velai.
  • Apply to jobs on a candidate's behalf.
  • Promise a job, a salary or a visa.
  • Collect passport scans — those stay off the platform.

False declarations or charging candidates end the partnership, and commission can be withheld or clawed back.
