The Process
Five steps from application to arrival
Every candidate moves through the same documented sequence, nothing skipped, nothing rushed.
Register & skills assessment
Submit your details and trade certificates. Our team verifies your documents and matches you against current openings within 5 working days.
Interview & selection
Shortlisted candidates meet the employer directly in person or by video, so both sides confirm the role before anything is signed.
Contract, visa & documentation
We review your employment contract line by line with you, then handle work permit and visa processing with the destination country.
Pre-departure briefing
A mandatory session covering labour rights, culture, banking, and a direct emergency contact line you keep for the length of your contract.
Deployment & check-ins
You fly out with your documents in hand. We follow up at 30, 90, and 180 days to confirm your placement matches what was agreed.
