"My vision is to support companies in Germany with motivated professionals from Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Thailand and other countries — and at the same time to give these people the chance of a valuable professional future in Germany."

Our story

Built from experience. Driven by purpose.

Advising Professionals was founded by Alexandra Ponweera after more than 30 years working as a dental hygienist in Germany. Over that career, she saw first-hand how difficult it was for businesses to find qualified, committed staff — and how much a reliable team member could mean to the success of a practice or business.

That experience became the foundation of everything Advising Professionals does. We are not a generalist recruiter. We are a specialist partner — built to solve a specific problem, with the industry credibility to do it properly.

The expertise behind every placement

Alexandra Ponweera founded Advising Professionals out of a genuine understanding of what businesses need from their people. With three decades in dental medicine, she knows the real cost of unfilled positions, high turnover, and poorly matched hires — and she built this company to address exactly that.

30 years in industry

Direct, hands-on experience in dental medicine gives Alexandra authentic credibility with the businesses she works with.

Every client, individually

No two businesses are the same. Alexandra works closely with each client to understand their specific needs before a single candidate is proposed.

Quality over volume

Advising Professionals is deliberately selective. We place fewer candidates and invest more in each one, because long-term retention is the goal.

Beyond the placement

Alexandra and her team stay involved through Years 1 to 3 of the apprenticeship, ensuring integration succeeds on both sides.
What we stand for

The principles that guide every placement

We measure our success not in volume of placements, but in the quality and longevity of the employment relationships we help to create. Every candidate we put forward has been individually selected, thoroughly prepared, and is supported well beyond their first day. We take on only what we can do properly — and that commitment to quality is what sets us apart. For our clients, that means less uncertainty, less turnover, and more confidence in the people joining their team. For our candidates, it means a genuine opportunity to build a professional future in Germany.

Qualified international professionals for German businesses.
