A worker who couldn't actually do the trade. A visa stuck because the medical came back unfit. Someone who quit after six weeks. Here's what we do about each one. ![Technician being assessed at work](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/pr8-8.webp) ### We watch them work Our assessors put a welding torch, a steering wheel or a pan in the candidate's hands. If they can't do it in front of us, they don't reach your shortlist. Police verification and certificate checks happen the same week. ### Medical first, visa second Selected candidates go for their Wafid medical straight away. If someone is declared unfit, you hear about it before you've paid a single visa fee. ### Replacements on the house A worker leaves inside 90 days? Let us know. We'll send someone else and won't bill you a second recruitment fee. ### Every file goes through eMigrate We're licensed under the Emigration Act, 1983. Each deployment is registered on eMigrate, with insurance and PGE clearance done by the book. Nothing your auditors would frown at. ## Skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled _manpower supply from India_ One client needs 200 helpers for a site in Jubail.

Visa queues and medical slots in the destination country decide the exact number. 1. 1 ### You send the demand letter We go through roles, salaries and terms with you, then sign a recruitment agreement that meets Indian emigration rules. 2. 2 ### We find and test people Our recruiters tap contacts across UP, Bihar and Rajasthan. Shortlisted people sit a trade test, and we check their papers plus their English or Arabic. 3. 3 ### Wafid medical Selected candidates visit a Wafid approved centre (it used to be called GAMCA). We match the results against the destination country's health rules. 4. 4 ### Visa and eMigrate We get visas stamped, file emigration clearance for ECR passport holders, arrange insurance and PGE formalities, and brief workers before they fly. 5. 5 ### They land, we keep in touch Workers travel with every document they need. We keep checking in with you and with them, and the 90-day replacement promise still applies. [See the full process](https://kdahiring.com/process) ## MEA registered recruitment. _Check our licence yourself._ Hiring through an unlicensed agent leaves you exposed the moment someone questions a worker's papers. Our licence number is public. Look it up before you call us, we'd prefer it. [Verify on eMigrate](https://emigrate.gov.in) ### Licence on record B-3267/UP/COM/1000+/5/11267/2025. Search it on the eMigrate portal. ### Workers pay nothing Our fees come from employers. If anyone ever asks a candidate for money in our name, we want to hear about it. ### Paperwork under one roof Visa, medical, insurance and emigration clearance all sit with the same team, so nothing falls between desks. ### A name, not a helpdesk You get one account manager who knows your order inside out. ## A Gulf recruitment agency based in _Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh_ You'll find us on Cantt Road in Burlington, opposite Medwell Hospital. Being in Lucknow puts us a short trip away from thousands of trained workers in UP, Bihar and Rajasthan. That's a big reason we can fill large orders fast. Building something in Saudi Arabia? Staffing a hospital wing in Abu Dhabi, or opening a hotel in Doha? Give us a call. We'll tell you straight how quickly we can fill it, and if we can't, we'll say so. ### Our Lucknow office 101, Chanchal Complex, 38 Cantt Road, Opp. Medwell Hospital, Burlington, Lucknow 226001 #### We recruit across - Uttar Pradesh - Bihar - Rajasthan [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Office+No.+101+Chanchal+Complex+Cantt+Road+Burlington+Lucknow+UP+226001) ## Overseas recruitment from India: _common questions_ Can't find your answer here? Write to us and we'll reply within 24 hours. ![Recruiter guiding a job seeker](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/pr3.webp) ### Looking for a Gulf job? Email your CV and a passport copy. Applying is free. [hr@kdahiring.com](mailto:hr@kdahiring.com) ### Is KDA Hiring an MEA approved recruitment agency? Yes. We're a registered recruiting agent under the Emigration Act, 1983, licence number B-3267/UP/COM/1000+/5/11267/2025. You can verify it on the government's eMigrate portal. ### How long does it take to hire Indian workers for Saudi Arabia or the UAE? Usually 3 to 6 weeks after we get your demand letter. Saudi and UAE visa times shift around, and medical slots fill up in busy months, so we'll give you a firmer date once we've seen your order. ### Who pays the recruitment fee for Gulf jobs? The employer does. We don't take money from workers for selection, processing or placement. For us that rule doesn't bend. ### What is a Wafid medical test? It's the health check GCC countries ask of foreign workers. People still call it GAMCA, its old name. Without a fit result from an approved centre, the work visa normally won't move forward. ### Do Indian workers need emigration clearance for GCC jobs? If they hold an ECR (Emigration Check Required) passport, yes, and all six GCC states come under that rule. We file the clearance on eMigrate and follow it up until it's granted. ### What documents does a Gulf employer need to recruit from India? Normally a demand letter on your letterhead, a power of attorney naming KDA HiringLabs and a sample employment contract. Attestation rules differ from country to country, and we'll tell you exactly what yours needs. ### Can KDA Hiring supply manpower in bulk? Yes, anywhere from 5 workers to 500. When a big site is mobilising, we hold trade tests in batches across UP, Bihar and Rajasthan so selection doesn't drag on. ### How can I apply for Gulf jobs from Lucknow? Drop in at 101 Chanchal Complex, Cantt Road, or email your CV and a passport copy to hr@kdahiring.com. Applying is free, and we will never ask you to pay a fee. ## Need workers in the Gulf? _Tell us what you're hiring for._ Roles, headcount and country are enough to get started. We'll come back within 24 hours with how we'd fill it and roughly how long it'll take.

Ltd. is an MEA licensed recruitment agency in Lucknow, founded 2025, placing Indian workers with GCC employers. Workers pay nothing. # About KDA Hiring, an overseas recruitment agency in Lucknow Most of the people we place grew up in small towns across UP and Bihar.

The idea behind it was simple. Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan are home to some of the most hardworking tradespeople in India, and Gulf employers are always looking for them. What often goes wrong is everything in between. Too many workers still pay large sums to middlemen for a job abroad. Too many employers receive candidates who don't match the CV they were sent. We wanted to run a recruitment agency that fixed both problems at once. The first step was getting our recruiting licence from the Ministry of External Affairs. Then came the team: recruiters who watch a candidate weld a joint or wire a panel before their name goes on any list. Today, companies in all six Gulf states send their requirements to our Lucknow office. We settled the fee question early. Employers pay it. Workers don't, not even a small "processing charge". ## How we _got here_ 1. 01 ### Company set up in Lucknow KDA HiringLabs Overseas Pvt. Ltd. is incorporated in Uttar Pradesh in 2025. 2. 02 ### MEA recruiting licence Registered with the Ministry of External Affairs as a licensed recruiting agent. 3. 03 ### Trade-tested hiring Recruiters watch a candidate weld a joint or wire a panel before shortlisting. 4. 04 ### All six Gulf states Employers across the GCC now send their requirements to our Lucknow office. ## What drives _our work_ ### Our mission To give Gulf employers skilled Indian workers they can rely on, and to give those workers a fair, legal and fee-free route to a job abroad. ![Site engineer at a construction project](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/pr1.webp) Fair, legal and fee-free hiring, from India to the Gulf. ### Our vision To be the overseas manpower partner GCC companies trust first when they hire from India, known as much for how we treat candidates as for who we place. ![Facility management staff at work](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/pr7-7.webp) **100%** Placements processed through the eMigrate portal ## What we _stand for_ These aren't slogans on a wall. They're the rules our recruiters work by every day. ### Legal, always Every placement follows the Emigration Act, 1983 and goes through eMigrate. No shortcuts, no side deals. ### Fair to workers Nobody pays us to get a job. Before a candidate signs anything, we sit down with them and go through the salary, the working hours and what the contract actually says. ### Skills before CVs We judge people by what they can do in a trade test, not by how good their résumé looks. ### We stay in touch Our work doesn't end at the airport. We keep talking to employers and workers long after deployment. ## Registered, licensed and _verifiable_ Legal name KDA HiringLabs Overseas Private Limited Incorporated 2025, Uttar Pradesh, India MEA licence B-3267 /UP /COM /1000+ /5 /11267 /2025 CIN U78300UP2024PTC198434 GSTIN 09AAKCK8564E1Z3 Head office 101, Chanchal Complex, 38 Cantt Road, Burlington, Lucknow 226001 Our licence can be checked on the [eMigrate portal](https://emigrate.gov.in) ## Two sides, _one fair match_ ![Industrial team on a factory floor](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/pr4-4.webp) For employers ### Employers in the GCC Our clients include contractors, hospital groups and hotel chains, along with factories, warehouses and FM companies.

KDA Hiring is a Lucknow agency that recruits Indian workers at every skill level for companies in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain. Recruitment is only part of the job. The agency also books the Wafid medical and handles visa stamping. It files emigration clearance on eMigrate and briefs every worker before they fly. Anyone who leaves within 90 days of starting is replaced free. Worker fees **₹0** Every service on this page is paid for by the employer. Candidates are never charged, at any stage. ## Manpower recruitment _by skill level_ Hiring a site helper and hiring an ICU nurse are very different jobs, so we don't run them the same way. Here's what each level involves. ![Facility management staff at work](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/pr7-7.webp) **01** Unskilled ### Unskilled manpower recruitment Helpers, cleaners, packers and guards make up a big share of most Gulf workforces, and they're usually needed quickly and in numbers. We keep a pool of medically fit candidates who already hold passports, so a 50-person order doesn't start from zero. - General labourer - Construction helper - Housekeeping staff - Warehouse packer - Security guard - Gardener - Housemaid #### Included - Fitness and attitude screening - Passport and document checks - Group travel scheduling [View unskilled roles](https://kdahiring.com/manpower-unskilled) ![Trade-tested technicians on a factory floor](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/pr4-4.webp) **02** Semi-skilled ### Semi-skilled manpower recruitment This is where a wrong hire hurts the most. A welder who can't lay a clean bead, or a driver who's never handled a heavy vehicle, can set a project back by weeks. Every semi-skilled candidate we send has passed a hands-on test built around your job description. - Mason - Carpenter - Electrician - Plumber - MIG, TIG and arc welder - AC technician - HMV driver - Cook #### Included - Practical trade test to your spec - Experience and certificate checks - Test videos on request [View semi-skilled roles](https://kdahiring.com/manpower-semi-skilled) ![Site engineer at a construction project](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/pr1.webp) **03** Skilled ### Skilled and professional recruitment A nurse or a site engineer can interview well and still be the wrong hire. Before we send you anyone at this level, we've seen their degree and licence, and we've usually spoken to at least one former manager. Then we book a video call with your technical lead, who gets the final say. - Civil engineer - MEP and HVAC engineer - Registered nurse - HSE officer - QA/QC inspector - Project manager - IT engineer - Accountant #### Included - Degree and licence verification - Reference calls - Interview scheduling with your team [View skilled roles](https://kdahiring.com/manpower-skilled) ## Visa, medical and _emigration support_ Finding the right worker is only half the job. The other half is paperwork, and that's usually where Gulf hiring slows down. We take it off your HR team's desk. 1. ### Trade testing and candidate screening At our test centre, candidates get the tools and we watch. A carpenter cuts and joins. An electrician wires a board. Certificates get checked afterwards, and if the job needs English or Arabic, we test that as well. 2. ### Wafid medical coordination We book slots at approved Wafid (formerly GAMCA) centres, chase the results and let you know the same day if anyone isn't cleared. 3. ### Visa processing and documentation Once your visa is issued, we look after stamping, attestation and the rest of the India-side paperwork. You get regular updates instead of having to chase them. 4. ### Emigration clearance on eMigrate Workers with ECR passports can't fly without clearance. We file it on eMigrate, buy the mandatory Pravasi Bharatiya Bima Yojana insurance and complete PGE formalities. 5. ### Pre-departure orientation Before boarding, workers sit through a briefing on their contract, local laws and site safety. They also leave knowing who to call if something goes wrong. 6. ### After-placement support We keep in touch with both sides once the worker arrives. Should anyone leave within 90 days, we send a replacement with no second recruitment fee. ## Bulk recruitment for _project mobilisation_ A new site or a fresh facility management contract can mean hiring dozens of people in one go. For orders like that, we hold trade tests in batches across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan. Departures can be staggered too. If your project manager wants steel fixers in week one and finishers in week four, that's how they'll arrive. - **5 to 500** workers per order - **24 hrs** to send you a sourcing plan - **3 to 6 wks** typical deployment time - **1** account manager for the whole order ## Hiring from India on your own vs. through a _recruitment agency_ Some employers try direct hiring first. Here's where the work usually lands in each case. | Task | Hiring on your own | With KDA Hiring | | --- | --- | --- | | Finding candidates | You need contacts on the ground in India | Our network across UP, Bihar and Rajasthan | | Checking skills | Mostly CVs and phone calls | Hands-on trade tests | | Medicals and visas | Your HR team chases every case | We track each file and report back | | Emigration clearance | You learn the eMigrate rules yourself | Filed by our MEA licensed team | | Early exits | Start again at your own cost | Free replacement within 90 days | ## Industries we recruit for - Construction - Healthcare - Hospitality - Manufacturing - Oil and gas - Logistics - Facility management - IT and telecom ## Countries we deploy to - Saudi Arabia - UAE - Qatar - Kuwait - Oman - Bahrain Request workers for your country ## Questions about our _recruitment services_ Can't find your answer here?

Share the roles and numbers with our Lucknow team. [hr@kdahiring.com](mailto:hr@kdahiring.com) ### What manpower recruitment services does KDA Hiring provide? Our main work is recruiting Indian workers for Gulf companies, anyone from helpers to engineers. Most clients also hand us the steps that follow, like the Wafid medical, visa stamping and eMigrate clearance. Every worker gets a briefing before they fly, and if someone leaves in the first 90 days we replace them at no charge. ### Can you recruit for just one specialist role? Yes. A single biomedical engineer or one experienced chef gets the same attention as a group order. Specialist searches can take a little longer, and we'll be upfront about that. ### Do you handle visa processing for Gulf employers? Partly. The visa itself is issued in your country, by you or your PRO. Once it reaches us, we take over. Our team does the stamping, attestation and emigration clearance, and we stay on it until the worker is through the airport. ### How quickly can you deploy workers to Saudi Arabia or the UAE? Most orders take 3 to 6 weeks from the demand letter. Visa queues and medical slots are the main variables, and we'll give you a realistic date once we've seen your requirement. ### Do workers pay for any of these services? No. Our fees are paid by the employer. If anyone asks a candidate for money in our name, we'd ask them to report it to hr@kdahiring.com. ### How do I get a quote? Send us the roles, headcount and destination country through the form on our home page, or email hr@kdahiring.com. You'll hear back within 24 hours with a plan and pricing. --- # Manpower Supply from India for Gulf Companies | KDA Hiring URL: https://kdahiring.com/manpower-supply MEA licensed manpower supply agency in Lucknow.

KDA Hiring does this from India for employers in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain, at every level from helpers to engineers. One thing worth knowing: the workers we place join your company directly, on your visa and your payroll. We find and test the workers, then take care of everything on the Indian side until they fly.

They don't. ### Who does what **KDA Hiring, India** - Find and test workers - Medical, visa stamping - eMigrate clearance **Your company, GCC** - Sponsors the visa - Worker on your payroll - Pays our fee MEA licence B-3267/UP/COM/1000+/5/11267/2025 ## Three levels of _manpower_ We screen each level differently, because what makes a good helper isn't what makes a good engineer.

Here's roughly how it usually splits by industry, so you can see where your own order might land. | Type of job | Unskilled | Semi-skilled | Skilled | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Construction site | Lots | Most of the crew | A few engineers and supervisors | | Hospital | Some support staff | Very few | Most of the order | | Hotel | Housekeeping and stewards | Cooks and technicians | Occasional managers | | Facility management | Cleaners and guards | MEP technicians | Supervisors | | Oil and gas shutdown | Helpers and fire watch | Pipefitters, riggers, welders | HSE and inspectors | ![Site engineers planning work with a supervisor](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/manpower/site-engineers.webp) Order sizes we take **1 to 500** ## From one specialist to _five hundred workers_ Order size changes how we plan, not how carefully we check. - 1 to 10 ### Single hires A specialist nurse, a project manager, two crane operators. Small doesn't mean we care less. - 10 to 50 ### Team orders A new hotel kitchen or an FM contract. Usually a mix of skill levels, delivered together. - 50 to 500 ### Bulk mobilisation A new site or a big shutdown. We test in batches and can stagger arrivals to fit your programme. ## Why companies choose KDA Hiring _for manpower_ There are plenty of manpower agencies in India. These are the four things our clients mention most when they tell us why they stayed. - ### A real licence Our MEA licence number is printed on every page. You can look it up on eMigrate before you even call us. - ### We test before you see anyone Tradespeople do a practical test. Professionals get their papers and references checked. Helpers get a proper interview. - ### Workers don't pay us Not a registration fee, not a processing charge, nothing. The employer pays our fee. - ### If it doesn't work out Anyone who leaves in the first 90 days gets replaced, and we don't charge again. ## Manpower supply by industry - [Construction](https://kdahiring.com/industries-construction) - [Healthcare](https://kdahiring.com/industries-healthcare) - [Oil and gas](https://kdahiring.com/industries-oil-gas) - [Hospitality](https://kdahiring.com/industries#hospitality) - [Manufacturing](https://kdahiring.com/industries#manufacturing) - [Logistics](https://kdahiring.com/industries#logistics) - [Facility management](https://kdahiring.com/industries#facility-management) - [IT and telecom](https://kdahiring.com/industries#it-telecom) ## Manpower supply by country - [Saudi Arabia](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/saudi-arabia) - [UAE](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/uae) - [Qatar](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/qatar) - [Kuwait](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/kuwait) - [Oman](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/oman) - [Bahrain](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/bahrain) ## How to order _manpower from us_ It's simpler than most people expect. 1. ### Tell us what you need Fill in the form above or call us.

Write to us and we'll reply within 24 hours. ![Indian site crew in hard hats at a power installation](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/manpower/site-crew.webp) ### How many people do you need? One specialist or a few hundred workers, send us the details. You'll hear back within a day. [hr@kdahiring.com](mailto:hr@kdahiring.com) ### What is manpower supply? It's when an agency finds and provides workers for a company. In our case, we recruit people in India for employers in the Gulf. That covers everything from helpers to engineers. ### Is this outsourcing, or do the workers join our company? They join your company. You sponsor the visa, and they're on your payroll. Our role is the recruiting agent in India. We find them, test them and handle the paperwork at our end. ### How many workers can you supply? Anything from a single specialist up to about 500 workers in one order. Big orders are split into batches. ### Is there a minimum order? For skilled roles, no. One person is fine. For unskilled and semi-skilled roles we usually work with orders of five or more. ### How are your fees charged? We give you a written quote before anything starts. It depends on the role, the number of workers and the country. Workers are never charged. ### Which countries do you supply manpower to? All six GCC countries: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain. ### How long does it take? Most orders take three to six weeks from the demand letter. Licensed professionals such as nurses can take longer because of exams and verification. ### What happens if a worker leaves early? If someone leaves within 90 days, we send a replacement without charging a second fee. --- # Skilled Manpower & Professional Recruitment Gulf | KDA Hiring URL: https://kdahiring.com/manpower-skilled Verified engineers, nurses, HSE officers, IT and finance professionals from India for GCC employers, with licensing and degree attestation support. # Skilled manpower and professional recruitment for the Gulf Bringing an engineer or an ICU nurse over from India is a bigger step than hiring locally. If it goes wrong, you lose months. So before your technical lead meets anyone we send, we've already seen their degree and licence and spoken to someone they used to work for. - 50+ professional roles - Credentials verified - Licence paperwork **Engineers, nurses, HSE, IT and finance** for employers in all six GCC countries ## What is _skilled manpower_ recruitment? It means hiring people whose job depends on a qualification. Engineers and nurses are the usual examples. Safety officers and IT specialists count too. KDA Hiring, based in Lucknow and licensed by the MEA, recruits these professionals from India for companies in all six GCC countries. We verify credentials, call references and help with licensing and degree attestation. The employer pays us. Candidates don't. ### Before you meet anyone we send - Degree and licence seen in original - At least one former manager called - Licensing and attestation started early **₹0** charged to candidates, at any stage ![Professionals reviewing a project on a tablet](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/hero-s2.webp) The cost of a wrong hire A wrong engineer can push back a handover. A nurse who fails licensing leaves a gap on the roster for months. An extra week of checking in India costs far less than either. ## Why hiring professionals takes a _different approach_ You can watch a welder work and know within an hour whether they're any good. You can't do that with a planning engineer. What you're paying for is years of judgement, and that only shows up in conversation and in what past managers say. Then there's the paperwork. Degrees often need attesting in India and again by the embassy. Some jobs also need a Gulf licence before day one. If a step gets missed, a good candidate can sit at home for weeks. India isn't short of engineers or nurses, and many already have Gulf experience. Finding the few who fit your brief is the hard part. Most of our time goes there. ## Skilled and professional _roles we recruit_ These six areas cover most of what we're asked for. One-off searches for an unusual role are fine too. 7 roles ### Engineering Site engineers mostly, but design and maintenance people too. Our clients here are contractors, consultants and a few plants. - Civil engineer - MEP engineer - HVAC engineer - Electrical engineer - Mechanical engineer - Planning engineer - Quantity surveyor 5 roles ### Healthcare Nurses make up most of this. We also get asked for lab and pharmacy staff fairly often. - Staff nurse (ICU, OT, ER) - Lab technologist - Pharmacist - Radiographer - Physiotherapist 5 roles ### HSE and quality Safety and quality people. Most clients want NEBOSH or IOSH on the CV, so we check for it. - HSE officer - Safety engineer - QA/QC inspector - QA/QC engineer - Environmental officer 5 roles ### Project and site management Senior hires. Usually people who have already run a Gulf project or two. - Project manager - Construction manager - Site engineer - MEP supervisor - General foreman 5 roles ### IT and technology Smaller numbers for us, but steady. Network and ERP roles come up the most. - Network engineer - System administrator - Software developer - ERP consultant - Cybersecurity analyst 5 roles ### Finance and administration Office side roles. Gulf companies like candidates who already know local VAT and payroll systems. - Accountant - HR officer - Document controller - Admin manager - Procurement officer ## How we vet _skilled candidates_ This takes longer than screening a helper or a mason, and we're fine with that. ![Recruiters reviewing a shortlist with a client](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/about3.webp) You make the final call 1. ### Original documents Scans can be edited, so we ask to see the actual degree, the mark sheets and the licence. If there's a nursing or engineering council registration, we check it hasn't lapsed. 2. ### A call to the old boss Reference letters all sound the same. So we phone at least one former manager and ask plain questions, like would they hire this person again. 3. ### Technical questions Our first call isn't a chat about hobbies. An HVAC engineer will get asked about load calculations, and an ICU nurse about ventilator care. 4. ### You decide After our call, your own technical person interviews them. Video works for most clients. We never select anyone on your behalf. 5. ### Licence paperwork If the job needs a Gulf licence, we get the documents moving early. Candidates who need to sit an exam get pointed to the right study material. 6. ### A written profile For every shortlisted person you get one page saying what we checked and anything we found. Handy for your HR file. ## Licensing, accreditation and _attestation_ Most delays with professional hires happen here. We start on it as soon as someone is shortlisted, without waiting for final selection. ### Healthcare licensing Every Gulf health authority wants documents verified at source, plus a pass in its own exam. We help candidates with both and send you updates as they go. ### Engineering accreditation Saudi Arabia asks engineers for Saudi Council of Engineers accreditation. Other GCC states have their own rules for certain roles, and we collect whatever each one wants. ### Degree attestation For most professional visas, the degree gets attested in India first and then at the embassy. We take candidates through it so the file's ready by the time the visa is. ![Professional accepting a job offer](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/growth1.webp) **2 to 3 offers** Good professionals compare ## What professionals ask _before they say yes_ Good professionals often have two or three offers. Knowing what worries them helps you write one they'll accept. These come up in almost every call. - ### Can I bring my family? For a lot of senior people, this decides everything. If you offer family status, mention it in the first conversation and not the last. - ### What's the full package? They'll compare your offer with two others, line by line. Housing allowance and the yearly ticket home matter nearly as much as basic pay. - ### How long is the contract? Two years is normal in the Gulf. Still, people want to know if renewal is likely, and what gratuity looks like at the end. - ### Will my licence be recognised? Nurses especially. Tell them who pays the exam fee and roughly how long it takes, and half their worry goes away. ## How to land the _professionals you want_ From what we've seen, the clients who hire best do these four things. 1. ### Send a full job description A job title on its own could mean anything. Which projects, which software, who they report to. The more you tell us, the better the match. 2. ### Be clear on must-haves Say clearly what you can't do without. Prior Gulf experience? A certain licence? Then list the nice-to-haves separately. 3. ### Move quickly on interviews Strong candidates get other calls. If your interview happens two weeks after we shortlist, some of them will be gone. 4. ### Put the offer in writing early People believe paper. Send the full package in writing and you'll get answers faster. Hiring for hands-on trades instead?

Send us the job description. We'll come back within a day with how we'd search for the right person. [hr@kdahiring.com](mailto:hr@kdahiring.com) ### What is skilled manpower? It's the term used for professionals with a degree, diploma or licence. In our work that mostly means engineers, nurses, safety officers, IT people and accountants. ### Which skilled roles does KDA Hiring recruit? Over 50 job titles so far. Engineering and nursing are the biggest. If yours isn't on this page, send the job description anyway and we'll say yes or no quickly. ### How do you verify a candidate's qualifications? We look at the original papers, check any council registration and call a former manager. Then we send you a one-page note on each person. ### Can you recruit nurses for Gulf hospitals? Yes, it's one of our main areas. Every Gulf health authority wants documents verified and an exam passed first, so we start on that early. ### Do engineers need special approval to work in Saudi Arabia? In most cases, yes. They need to be accredited by the Saudi Council of Engineers. We help them pull the documents together. ### Do skilled professionals need emigration clearance? Usually not. Graduates normally have ECNR passports, which don't need eMigrate clearance. We check each one anyway. ### How long does it take to hire a skilled professional? Plan for 4 to 8 weeks. Finding the person is often the quick bit. Attestation and licensing are what take time, especially for nurses. ### Do candidates pay KDA Hiring a fee? No. Our fee is paid by the company hiring. Candidates don't pay us at any point. --- # Semi-Skilled Manpower from India for Gulf | KDA Hiring URL: https://kdahiring.com/manpower-semi-skilled Trade-tested masons, electricians, welders, drivers and cooks from India for Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain. MEA licensed agency. # Semi-skilled manpower recruitment for Gulf employers A good mason lays a straight course without someone standing over them. A good welder's joints don't need redoing. That difference is what separates a cheap hire from a useful one, and closing it is our job. Every tradesperson we send has been tested on the tools, in person, before you ever see their name. - 40+ trades - Tested in person - 90-day replacement ![Tradespeople and a site technician at work](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/about-thumb-png.webp) **ITI and NCVT** Certificates verified ## What is _semi-skilled manpower?_ Semi-skilled workers are tradespeople. They've learned a craft by doing it for years, and some hold an ITI certificate, but they don't have an engineering degree. Masons, electricians, welders and heavy drivers are the classic examples. KDA Hiring, an MEA licensed recruitment agency in Lucknow, supplies semi-skilled Indian workers to employers in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain. Before anyone is shortlisted, they pass a practical trade test set around the employer's own job description. **₹0** Recruitment fee for workers. The employer pays, at every stage. ## Why a CV isn't enough _for tradespeople_ Anyone can write "8 years experience, steel fixing" on a page. What a Gulf site manager needs to know is whether that person can read a bar bending schedule and tie a cage that passes inspection. A phone interview won't tell you. Watching them do it will. We've seen the other side of this. Contractors who hired without testing sometimes find that a third of a batch needs retraining or sending home. That means lost weeks, wasted visa costs and a crew that's short-handed just when the schedule is tight. > So every semi-skilled candidate who comes to us is tested on the tools. If they don't pass, they don't go on your list, however good their paperwork looks. ![Factory technicians in hard hats checking work](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/pr4.webp) ### What a failed test saves you Turned away in Lucknow Costs you nothing Found out after landing A visa, a flight, a medical and weeks of a gap in your crew That's the whole case for testing, really. ## Semi-skilled trades _we recruit for_ Grouped the way most of our clients think about them. Between these six areas we cover more than 40 trades, and we add new ones whenever an employer asks. ### Construction trades The people who put the building up, course by course and pour by pour. - Mason - Shuttering carpenter - Steel fixer - Tile fixer - Painter - Scaffolder - Plasterer ### MEP trades Wiring, piping and cooling. In Gulf heat, the AC technician is often the most popular person on site. - Electrician - Plumber - AC and refrigeration technician - Duct fabricator - Pipe fitter ### Welding and fabrication Steel structures, tanks and pipework for construction, plants and workshops. - MIG welder - TIG welder - Arc welder - Fabricator - Grinder - Gas cutter ### Drivers and operators Moving people, materials and equipment safely on unfamiliar roads and busy sites. - Heavy truck driver - Trailer driver - Bus driver - Forklift operator - JCB operator - Crane operator ### Kitchen and food Cooks who can handle volume in camps, hotels and restaurants. - Indian cook - Arabic cook - Tandoor cook - Baker - Camp cook ### Workshop and auto Keeping fleets and machinery running. - Auto mechanic - Diesel mechanic - Denter - Auto electrician - Tyre technician ## What our _trade tests_ look like Each test is set around your job description, so these are examples rather than a fixed script. Pick a trade to see how we test it. ### Welder trade test Welds a test plate in the positions your job calls for, whether that's flat, vertical or pipe. We check the bead and the joint before passing anyone. - Process and position - Bead quality - Joint inspection - Watch in person in Lucknow - Or join by video call - Recorded clips on request ### Certificates help, but they aren't the whole story ITI and NCVT certificates tell us someone has been trained. Experience letters tell us where they've worked. We verify both. Still, some of the best masons and painters we've placed never sat in a classroom, which is exactly why the practical test decides the shortlist. - ITI / NCVT verified - Experience letters checked - Practical test decides ### Ready for Saudi skill verification Saudi Arabia asks workers in certain trades to pass an approved skills test before the visa moves forward. If your roles are covered, we prepare candidates for it and build the test into the timeline, so it doesn't catch anyone out later. [More on hiring for Saudi Arabia](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/saudi-arabia) ## Semi-skilled or skilled: _which do you need?_ A rough rule: if the person will mostly do the work with their hands, semi-skilled is right. If they'll design, inspect or supervise it, you probably need a skilled professional. **Does the work** Semi-skilled tradesperson **Designs or inspects it** Skilled professional | | Semi-skilled | Skilled | | --- | --- | --- | | Typical background | Years on the job, sometimes with an ITI certificate | A degree, diploma or professional licence | | How we screen | Hands-on trade test | Credential checks, references and technical interviews | | Typical roles | Mason, electrician, welder, driver, cook | Engineer, nurse, HSE officer, accountant | | Who supervises them | A foreman or charge hand | Often supervises others | | Time to deploy | Around the middle of our range | Can take longer, especially for licensed roles | Looking for helpers instead?

These four things help us land them for you rather than for the next company. 1. ### Tell us the exact spec "Welder" could mean a dozen things. Name the process, the positions and the material, and we'll test for exactly that. 2. ### Say which tools you provide Some trades bring their own hand tools, others don't. Knowing in advance avoids awkward first days. 3. ### Share the salary range early Good tradespeople often have more than one offer. A clear, fair figure helps us secure the best ones before someone else does. 4. ### Join a test if you can Your engineer is welcome in Lucknow, or on a video call.

Send us the trades and numbers. We'll plan the tests and give you a timeline within a day. [hr@kdahiring.com](mailto:hr@kdahiring.com) ### What is semi-skilled manpower? Tradespeople who've learned their work by doing it, sometimes with an ITI certificate behind them, but who don't hold a degree or engineering diploma. Masons, electricians, plumbers, welders, drivers and cooks are the most common examples. ### Which semi-skilled trades does KDA Hiring recruit? More than 40 of them, from construction and MEP trades to welders, drivers, cooks and mechanics. If your trade isn't listed on this page, send us the job description and we'll tell you straight away whether we can fill it. ### How do you test welders? Each welder completes a test plate in the positions and process your job needs. Our assessor checks the finished weld, and we can record the test so your QC team can look at it too. ### Do semi-skilled workers need an ITI certificate? Not always. Plenty of excellent masons and painters learned on the job. For electricians, welders and some MEP trades, though, many employers prefer an ITI or similar certificate, and Saudi Arabia's skill verification rules can require proof of training. ### What is Saudi Arabia's Skill Verification Program? It's a scheme under which workers in certain trades must pass an approved skills test before their Saudi work visa can be processed. If your roles fall under it, we prepare candidates and book the test as part of the order. ### Can we attend the trade test? Yes, and we'd encourage it. You can visit our Lucknow test sessions in person or join by video. Some clients simply ask for recorded clips of each candidate. ### How long does semi-skilled recruitment take? Usually 3 to 6 weeks from your demand letter. Testing adds a few days compared with unskilled hiring, and roles that need Saudi skill verification can take a little longer. ### Do semi-skilled workers pay a recruitment fee? No. The employer pays our fee, and we never charge candidates for testing, processing or placement. --- # Unskilled Manpower from India for Gulf | KDA Hiring URL: https://kdahiring.com/manpower-unskilled Labourers, helpers, cleaners and packers from India for GCC employers, screened face to face and supplied in bulk by an MEA licensed agency in Lucknow. # Unskilled manpower recruitment for Gulf employers Nobody writes press releases about the helper who keeps a site clear, or the packer loading the last truck at 2 a.m. Yet every Gulf project leans on people like them.

Lucknow is a short journey for almost all of them, so interviews and document checks happen in person, not over a patchy phone line. - Eastern UP - Bihar - Rajasthan - Lucknow ## Why Gulf companies hire _unskilled workers from India_ Indian workers have been part of the Gulf story since the oil boom of the 1970s. Ask a facility manager in Dubai or a contractor in Riyadh and most will tell you their crews already include plenty of people from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. There's a reason for that, and it isn't only habit. Language is a big part of it. Hindi and Urdu are heard on work sites and in labour camps across the region, so a new arrival from Gorakhpur or Siwan can usually find someone to show them the ropes on their first day. - **Since the 1970s** Part of Gulf crews for decades - **Shared language** Hindi and Urdu on site and in camps - **Scale** Many young people ready for steady work abroad ## Unskilled roles _we recruit for_ These are the jobs Gulf employers ask us about most. If the role doesn't need a trade certificate, there's a good chance we can fill it. - ![Construction helper at work on a site](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/unskilled/site-helper.webp) Sites Labourers and helpers for construction crews - ### General labourer Whatever the site needs that day.

This is how we cut that risk. 1. ### Fitness check These are physical jobs, so we start with basic fitness. Catching problems here also means fewer nasty surprises when the Wafid medical results come back. 2. ### A real conversation Every candidate sits down with one of our recruiters. We want to hear that they understand the work, the long shifts and the summer heat, and that going abroad is their own choice. 3. ### Passports checked on day one A passport that expires in four months, or an address that doesn't match, can hold up a file for weeks. At this level it happens more often than you'd think, so we look early. 4. ### Basic orientation On top of the government's pre-departure session, we run our own short briefing on site safety, hygiene and what's expected at work. ## Unskilled or semi-skilled: _which do you need?_ It's a question we get a lot.

Every placement is then registered on eMigrate. - Explained in Hindi - Or Bhojpuri - Registered on eMigrate ## What we tell every worker before they fly A worker who knows what to expect settles in faster and stays longer. That's good for them and good for you. - ### How hot it really gets Many first-timers underestimate a Gulf summer. We talk about drinking water through the shift and the midday work breaks that GCC countries enforce in peak months. - ### What the contract actually says Pay, overtime, rest days, food and accommodation. We go through it line by line until they can explain it back to us. - ### Their passport stays with them Holding on to a worker's passport is against the law in most GCC countries. We make sure workers know that before they leave. - ### Where to turn for help Every worker leaves with our phone number, the contact for the nearest Indian embassy and details of MADAD, the government's online grievance portal. ## How employers can speed up _an unskilled order_ Most delays we see could have been avoided at the demand letter stage. These small things make a real difference. - ### Spell out food and housing Workers ask about this first. If the demand letter says clearly whether meals and accommodation are provided, candidates decide faster and fewer drop out later. - ### Offer a salary people will accept We'll tell you honestly if a figure is below what the market will bear. A slightly better offer often fills an order weeks sooner. - ### Plan arrival dates with us For larger orders, tell us whether you want everyone at once or in groups. Your camp and supervisors will thank you. - ### Name one contact on your side Things move fastest when a single person can approve candidates and chase visas from your end. ![Warehouse staff packing and stacking boxes](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/unskilled/warehouse-packing.webp) **Clear demand letter** Fewer drop-outs later ## Industries that hire unskilled workers through us - [Construction](https://kdahiring.com/industries#construction) - [Facility management](https://kdahiring.com/industries#facility-management) - [Hospitality](https://kdahiring.com/industries#hospitality) - [Logistics and warehousing](https://kdahiring.com/industries#logistics) - [Manufacturing](https://kdahiring.com/industries#manufacturing) - [Agriculture](https://kdahiring.com/industries) - [Retail](https://kdahiring.com/industries) ## Countries we send unskilled workers to - [Saudi Arabia](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/saudi-arabia) - [UAE](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/uae) - [Qatar](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/qatar) - [Kuwait](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/kuwait) - [Oman](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/oman) - [Bahrain](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/bahrain) ## How the hiring works It starts with your demand letter.

Tell us the headcount and the start date. We'll tell you how fast we can fill it. [hr@kdahiring.com](mailto:hr@kdahiring.com) ### What counts as unskilled manpower? Any job where you'd hire for stamina and attitude rather than a certificate. Labourers and helpers are the obvious examples, though kitchen hands, packers and cleaners fall into this group too. What we screen for is whether the person is fit, reliable and willing to learn. ### How many unskilled workers can KDA Hiring supply at once? We take orders of anywhere between 5 and 500 workers. For the larger ones we select in batches and can stagger departures so your camp isn't overwhelmed in a single week. ### How quickly can unskilled workers be deployed? It's usually our quickest category, since no trade test is involved. Even so, plan on three to six weeks. Visa issuing and medical appointments take up most of that time, not the recruiting itself. ### Do unskilled workers need emigration clearance? Most do. A large share of unskilled workers hold ECR passports, which means they need clearance on eMigrate before leaving India for any GCC country. We file it for every worker who needs it. ### Can you recruit women for unskilled roles? Yes, mostly for housekeeping, cleaning and domestic jobs. One thing to be aware of: India doesn't let women with ECR passports take jobs in ECR countries until they're 30, so we confirm age before anything else. ### Do unskilled workers pay any recruitment fee? Never. Our fee comes from the employer. That matters more at this level than anywhere else, because unskilled workers are the ones most often cheated by illegal agents. ### What should an employer provide for unskilled workers? At a minimum, the salary, working hours, food or food allowance, accommodation and transport to work should all be written into the contract. Clear terms make it much easier to get emigration clearance approved. ### Can unskilled workers move into skilled roles later? Often, yes. Plenty of helpers pick up a trade on site within a couple of years. If you'd like to promote someone, we can arrange a trade test for them in a future order. --- # Industry-Wise Manpower Recruitment for the Gulf | KDA Hiring URL: https://kdahiring.com/industries Indian manpower for construction, healthcare, hospitality, oil and gas, manufacturing, logistics, facility management and IT across the GCC. # Industry-wise manpower recruitment for the Gulf A hospital and a building contractor want very different people.

Send us the job description and headcount. [hr@kdahiring.com](mailto:hr@kdahiring.com) ### Which industries does KDA Hiring supply manpower to? Eight main ones: construction, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, oil and gas, logistics, facility management, and IT and telecom. Construction and facility management make up the largest share of our orders. ### Can you recruit nurses for hospitals in Saudi Arabia or the UAE? Yes. Nurses need their documents verified and have to pass the destination country's licensing exam, so we start that paperwork early and help candidates prepare for the test. ### Do you supply workers for oil and gas shutdowns? We do, though shutdown crews need planning. If you can share dates a few weeks ahead, we'll have certified pipefitters, riggers and scaffolders tested and ready. ### How do you test candidates for technical trades? In person, with the tools of the trade. Welders weld, electricians wire and drivers drive. Paper certificates are checked too, but the practical test is what decides a shortlist. ### Can you hire for an industry that isn't listed here? Quite possibly. Retail, agriculture and security firms have all asked us about roles before.

A contractor in Riyadh needs forty steel fixers by next month, or a villa developer in Muscat is short of tile fixers for the finishing stage. We find those workers in UP and Bihar, test them on the tools and send them over with their papers in order. - Full crews or single trades - Trade-tested - 5 to 500 workers ![Aerial view of a construction site with steel fixers at work](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/construction/site-aerial.webp) ![Gloved hands handling steel rebar](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/construction/rebar-gloves.webp) ## What is _construction manpower_ supply? It's recruiting the workers a building project runs on. That covers labourers and helpers, tradespeople such as steel fixers and masons, and the foremen and engineers who supervise them. KDA Hiring is an MEA licensed agency in Lucknow. We supply construction workers from India to contractors in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain. Tradespeople are tested in person before shortlisting. **5–500** workers per order **₹0** paid by workers. The contractor pays our fee. ## What Gulf contractors tell us _goes wrong_ We ask every new client the same question: what went wrong last time you hired from abroad? The answers are surprisingly similar. - **Wrong skills** A batch of "carpenters" where only half had ever built formwork. - **Late arrivals** The right people, three weeks late, because one document was missing. - **Early exits** Good workers who left in month two because nobody told them about camp conditions. None of these are hard problems. They just need someone in India who checks properly, chases paperwork early and is honest with workers before they sign. That's the part we do. ![Steel fixers tying a column cage](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/construction/steel-fixers.webp) ### Where our crews come from Eastern UP and Bihar mostly. A lot of our steel fixers and masons have already worked on big Indian projects, and some on Gulf sites before. Lucknow is close enough that we can test them in person rather than over the phone. - Eastern UP - Bihar - Lucknow ## Construction trades _we recruit_ Grouped roughly by where they fit on a project. Missing a trade you need? Ask. We add new ones whenever a client does. ### Structure The people who get the frame up. Usually the first crew on site and the biggest. - Steel fixer - Shuttering carpenter - Mason - Concrete hand - Scaffolder - Welder ### Finishing They come in once the structure's done. Clients tend to judge a building by their work. - Tile fixer - Plasterer - Painter - Gypsum and false ceiling fixer - Marble fixer - Aluminium fabricator ### MEP Electrical, plumbing and HVAC. On most Gulf projects these trades decide whether handover happens on time. - Electrician - Plumber - Duct fabricator - HVAC technician - Pipe fitter - Fire fighting technician ### Plant and equipment Operators and drivers for heavy machines. Licence history gets a close look here. - Excavator operator - JCB operator - Crane operator - Heavy driver - Rigger - Signalman ### Site leadership The people who keep a crew organised and a job safe. - Site engineer - Foreman - Charge hand - HSE officer - QA/QC inspector - Quantity surveyor ### General support Every site needs them, and lots of them. - General labourer - Construction helper - Store keeper - Watchman - Cleaner ## Crews that arrive _when you need them_ Bringing everyone over on day one means paying finishers to wait for the frame. So on bigger jobs we plan arrivals around your programme. A typical pattern looks like this. 1. Phase 1 **Groundwork and structure** Labourers, steel fixers, shuttering carpenters, masons and a foreman or two. 2. Phase 2 **MEP first fix** Electricians, plumbers and duct fabricators join while the frame is still going up. 3. Phase 3 **Finishing** Tile fixers, plasterers, painters and ceiling fixers. Structure crews can finish their contracts or move to the next job. 4. Phase 4 **Handover** A smaller team of MEP technicians and cleaners for snagging and final clean. Structure crews can finish their contracts or move to the next job while finishers arrive. ## How we test _construction workers_ Every test is adjusted to your job description. Pick a trade to see the usual one. Test 01 of 06 ### Steel fixer Gets a bar bending schedule and ties a small cage from it. If the spacing's off or the laps are short, it's a fail. - Reads the BBS - Bar spacing - Lap lengths ![Close view of a tied rebar column cage](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/construction/rebar-cage.webp) Your engineer is welcome to watch in person or on a video call. ### Safety starts before they fly Gulf sites run on permits to work, toolbox talks and strict PPE rules. Many Indian sites are more relaxed. So before departure we brief workers on what's expected, including working in summer heat and why the midday break exists. - Permits to work - Toolbox talks - Strict PPE - Summer heat ### Saudi skill verification Plenty of construction and MEP trades bound for Saudi Arabia need to pass an approved skills test before the visa moves. We know which ones, and we build the test into your timeline. [Hiring for Saudi Arabia](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/saudi-arabia) ![Crew guiding a concrete pump hose during a pour](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/construction/concrete-pour.webp) **Share your programme** No paying for idle hands ## Helping us _mobilise faster_ Contractors who share these early usually get their crews sooner. 1. ### Share your programme Even a rough bar chart helps. We can time each crew's arrival so you're not paying for idle hands. 2. ### Tell us about the camp Workers always ask where they'll stay and whether food is included. Clear answers mean fewer drop-outs. 3. ### Say what PPE and tools you provide Some contractors supply everything, some expect workers to bring hand tools. Either is fine if it's agreed beforehand. 4. ### Give us one site contact Someone who can approve candidates and confirm dates. It saves days of back and forth. ## Projects we supply - High-rise towers - Roads and bridges - Villas and housing - Industrial plants - Hospitals and schools - Fit-out and renovation ## Countries we send construction crews to - [Saudi Arabia](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/saudi-arabia) - [UAE](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/uae) - [Qatar](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/qatar) - [Kuwait](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/kuwait) - [Oman](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/oman) - [Bahrain](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/bahrain) ## From demand letter to site Send us your demand letter and we'll start sourcing and testing.

Send us the trades, the numbers and your start date. We'll reply within a day with a crew plan. [hr@kdahiring.com](mailto:hr@kdahiring.com) ### What construction trades does KDA Hiring supply? Pretty much every trade a Gulf site needs. Steel fixers, carpenters and masons are the most requested, followed by MEP trades, finishing trades, plant operators and site supervisors. ### Can you supply a complete construction crew? Yes. Many of our orders are mixed crews with labourers, tradespeople and a foreman. We can also send them in phases to match your programme. ### How fast can you mobilise construction workers? Usually 3 to 6 weeks from your demand letter. Testing goes quickly for common trades. Visas and medicals take up most of the time. ### How do you test steel fixers? They're given a bar bending schedule and asked to tie a small cage from it. Our assessor checks bar spacing, laps and ties before passing anyone. ### Do construction workers going to Saudi Arabia need a skills test? For many trades, yes. Saudi Arabia's Skill Verification Program covers a number of construction and MEP jobs. If yours are included, we prepare candidates and book the test. ### Who provides PPE and tools? That's agreed with you up front. Most contractors supply PPE on site. Hand tools vary by trade, and we make sure workers know what to bring. ### What if a worker can't do the job after arriving? Tell us. If they leave or have to be sent back within 90 days, we send a replacement with no second recruitment fee. ### Do construction workers pay a recruitment fee? No. The contractor pays our fee. Workers don't pay us anything. --- # Nurse Recruitment & Healthcare Staffing Gulf | KDA Hiring URL: https://kdahiring.com/industries-healthcare Indian nurses, allied health and pharmacy staff for GCC hospitals, with DataFlow verification and licensing exam support. Nurses pay no fee. # Healthcare staffing and nurse recruitment for the Gulf When a nursing post stays empty, the rest of the ward covers it with longer shifts, and sometimes beds have to close. We recruit nurses and other clinical staff from India for Gulf hospitals. And we get the licensing started in week one, because that's what usually holds things up. - Nurses and allied health - Licensing support - ₹0 charged to candidates **Licensing starts in week one,** the day a candidate is shortlisted. ![Nurse in uniform with a stethoscope](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/healthcare/nurse-portrait.webp) **DataFlow ready** Papers collected early **Exam support** Prometric syllabus guidance ## What does KDA Hiring's _healthcare staffing_ cover? Mainly nurses. We also place lab and imaging staff, pharmacists and patient care assistants, for hospitals and clinics across the six GCC countries. We're an MEA licensed agency in Lucknow. Besides finding candidates, we walk them through document verification and the licensing exam. Hospitals pay our fee and candidates pay nothing. - Nursing - Allied health - Pharmacy - Patient support ## Why healthcare hiring _takes longer_ Hiring a mason is simple by comparison. You test them, and if they're good, they go. A nurse can be excellent at the job and still be months away from starting in Riyadh, because the regulator wants every document proven first. The regulator contacts the nurse's college and council, plus every hospital on the CV. Then there's an exam to pass. If one letter is missing, the file just sits there, and often nobody notices for weeks. So we start early. The day someone is shortlisted, we begin collecting papers. By the time you pick your final candidates, the slow part is well underway. A mason **Test, then go** Trade test decides it A nurse **Verify, exam, licence** Every document proven first ![Clean hospital ward with beds and monitors](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/healthcare/hospital-ward.webp) ### Why Indian nurses Indian nurses have worked in Gulf hospitals for decades. Their training is in English, and lots of them come from busy multi-specialty hospitals. There's usually an Indian colleague or two on the ward already, which makes the first few weeks easier. - Trained in English - Multi-specialty experience - Decades in the Gulf ## Healthcare roles _we recruit_ Mostly nurses, as you'd expect. But we fill a good number of other roles as well. ![Nurse preparing a syringe](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/healthcare/nurse-syringe.webp) Licence needed ### Nursing This is most of our healthcare work. Ward nurses, yes, but ICU and OT requests come in every week. - Staff nurse - ICU nurse - OT nurse - ER nurse - NICU nurse - Dialysis nurse - Home care nurse Licence needed ### Allied health Lab, imaging and therapy staff. Fewer orders than nursing, though they're steady. - Lab technologist - Radiographer - Physiotherapist - Respiratory therapist - Cardiac technician Licence needed ### Pharmacy We get these requests from hospital pharmacies and from retail chains in about equal measure. - Pharmacist - Pharmacy technician - Pharmacy assistant No licence ### Patient support No licence involved here. We still look for people who are kind and patient, because the job needs it. - Patient care assistant - Ward attendant - Hospital housekeeping - Porter No licence ### Healthcare admin Reception, coding and billing. Good English matters a lot for these roles. - Medical receptionist - Medical coder - Billing executive - Medical records clerk - Licence needed Goes through verification and an exam - No licence Much faster to deploy ## The licensing route, _step by step_ Each country does it slightly differently. In broad terms, though, it goes like this. 1. **1** Step 1 ### Papers in order We collect the degree, the transcripts, the council registration and an experience letter for every job on the CV. If a year is missing, we ask about it straight away. 2. **2** Step 2 ### Source verification The health authority then contacts the college, the council and each old hospital to confirm the papers are real. Most Gulf regulators use DataFlow for this. 3. **3** Step 3 ### Licensing exam Next comes the exam, which most nurses take at a Prometric centre in India. We tell them which syllabus to study and where to find practice papers. 4. **4** Step 4 ### Eligibility and licence Pass both and the authority confirms they're eligible. The actual licence normally comes through after the hospital finishes its own paperwork. ### Healthcare licensing authorities in the GCC Every country has its own regulator. In the UAE, which one applies depends on the emirate. - **Saudi Arabia** _SCFHS_ Saudi Commission for Health Specialties - **UAE** _DHA · DOH · MOHAP_ DHA in Dubai, DOH in Abu Dhabi, MOHAP for the other emirates - **Qatar** _MOPH_ Ministry of Public Health, Department of Healthcare Professions - **Kuwait** _MOH_ Kuwait Ministry of Health - **Oman** _MOH · OMSB_ Ministry of Health, with exams through the Oman Medical Specialty Board - **Bahrain** _NHRA_ National Health Regulatory Authority Rules change now and then, so we check the current requirements on every order. ## How we check _clinical candidates_ All of this happens before you see a single CV from us. - ### Council registration Is the nursing or pharmacy council registration genuine, and is it still valid? We check before anything else. - ### Every hospital, every year Every job on the CV needs a letter. In our experience, one missing year causes more stuck files than anything else. - ### A clinical conversation We ask about real ward situations. For example, what would you do if a patient's oxygen dropped at 3 in the morning? You learn a lot from how people answer. - ### Spoken English Gulf hospitals work in English. So we make sure a candidate can explain things to a doctor, and to a worried family member too. ![Lab technologist using a pipette](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/healthcare/lab-technologist.webp) Allied health staff go through the same checks as nurses. ![Clinical staff caring for a patient](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/healthcare/patient-care.webp) **2 offers** Good nurses often compare ## What nurses ask _before accepting_ Good nurses often have two offers on the table. Clear answers to these questions can tip it your way. - ### Who pays for the exam and verification? Nearly every nurse asks this first. If you pay for it or refund it later, say so in the offer letter. - ### What are the shifts like? Twelve hours or eight? Rotating or fixed nights? Nurses want to know before they sign anything. - ### Is accommodation shared? Most hospitals give housing. Nurses will ask whether rooms are shared and how long the commute is. - ### Can my family join later? Senior nurses often hope to bring their family over after a year or so. If your package allows it, tell them. ## How hospitals can _speed things up_ The hospitals that got their nurses fastest usually did these things. 1. ### Name the unit Just writing "nurse" doesn't help us much. An ICU nurse and a dialysis nurse are really different hires. 2. ### Tell us the minimum experience Regulators usually want around two years after registration. If your unit needs five, tell us at the start. 3. ### Start licensing early Allow us to start verification as soon as someone is shortlisted. That one change can save you several weeks. 4. ### Interview by video Your head nurse doesn't need to travel. We set up video calls and sort out the timing. ## Facilities we staff - Government and private hospitals - Polyclinics - Home care providers - Diagnostic labs - Pharmacy chains - Rehabilitation centres ## Countries we place healthcare staff in - [Saudi Arabia](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/saudi-arabia) - [UAE](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/uae) - [Qatar](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/qatar) - [Kuwait](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/kuwait) - [Oman](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/oman) - [Bahrain](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/bahrain) ## How a healthcare hire comes together You send the roles and we shortlist.

Tell us the roles and the department. We'll reply within a day with a realistic plan, licensing included. [hr@kdahiring.com](mailto:hr@kdahiring.com) ### Does KDA Hiring recruit nurses for the Gulf? Yes. Nursing is the biggest part of our healthcare work, mostly for ICU, OT and ER units, across all six GCC countries. ### How long does it take to recruit a nurse for Saudi Arabia or the UAE? Plan on two to four months. Finding good nurses doesn't take long. The verification and the exam are what slow it down. ### What is DataFlow verification? DataFlow is the company most Gulf health regulators use to check documents at the source. They get in touch with the college, the council and old employers directly. ### Do nurses need to pass an exam before working in the Gulf? Usually, yes. Each regulator has its own exam, and most nurses sit it at a Prometric centre. We help them prepare. ### How much experience do Gulf hospitals want? Two years after registration is the usual minimum. ICU and other specialist units tend to want more. ### Do you recruit allied health and pharmacy staff? Yes. Lab, radiology, physio and pharmacy staff go through much the same licensing steps as nurses, and we help them the same way. ### Do healthcare workers need emigration clearance? Yes. Nurses going to any ECR country need eMigrate clearance, even with an ECNR passport. We file it for every nurse we place. ### Do nurses pay KDA Hiring a fee? No. The hospital pays us.

MEA licensed agency, Lucknow. # Oil and gas manpower recruitment for the Gulf On a refinery shutdown, every day costs money, and you can't afford a pipefitter who's never read an isometric. We recruit plant trades and HSE staff from India for Gulf contractors. Before we put anyone forward, we've checked their certificates and watched them work. - Shutdown crews - Certificates verified - 90-day replacement Planning a turnaround in the cooler months? Good crews get booked early. ## What does oil and gas _manpower supply_ include? For us it means recruiting the people who build and maintain plants. Pipefitters, welders and riggers make up most orders. Instrument technicians, inspectors and HSE officers come up too, along with the support crew a shutdown needs. KDA Hiring is an MEA licensed agency in Lucknow. We supply these workers from India to contractors and operators in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, Oman and Bahrain. Trades are tested in person and certificates are verified. The employer pays our fee. Workers pay nothing. - Pipefitters - 6G welders - Riggers - Instrument techs - HSE officers ![Plant worker inspecting pipes and valves](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/oil-gas/valve-inspection.webp) **₹0** Worker fee **6** GCC countries ## Plant work is a _different world_ A good building-site welder isn't automatically a good plant welder. People who haven't worked under plant rules can be a real risk, to themselves and to everyone near them. India has a large pool of people with exactly this background. Many have worked at Indian refineries and fertiliser plants. Quite a few have done Gulf shutdowns before and know the routine. - Live hydrocarbons - Permits to work - Gas test before every job ### What we ask every plant candidate 1. Have you worked a shutdown? 2. Which plant? 3. Who was the main contractor? 4. Can you show us the real certificate, with a number we can check? For oil and gas orders we ask different questions than for a building site. ### About shutdown season Many Gulf plants schedule turnarounds in the cooler months. That's also when every contractor is hunting for the same pipefitters. If your shutdown falls in that window, talk to us well ahead. ## Oil and gas roles _we recruit_ Grouped the way most shutdown planners split their crews. Need something that's not here? Ask us. ### Piping and mechanical The bulk of most plant orders. Pipefitters especially. - Pipefitter - Pipe fabricator - Mechanical fitter - Rotating equipment technician - Valve technician Always in short supply ### Welding Pipe welders with 6G experience are always in short supply. We look for them constantly. - 6G pipe welder - TIG welder - Arc welder - Structural fabricator ### Lifting and access Nobody gets near a crane on our say-so without the right certificate. - Rigger - Crane operator - Scaffolder - Signalman Book early ### Instrumentation and electrical Harder to find than mechanical trades, so tell us early if you need them. - Instrument technician - Industrial electrician - E&I supervisor - Cable jointer ### Inspection and quality Paperwork matters more here than anywhere. We check every certificate number. - NDT technician - QA/QC inspector - Welding inspector - Coating inspector ### HSE and support Safety staff plus the support crew every shutdown needs. - HSE officer - Safety supervisor - Fire watch - Hole watch - Insulator - Blaster and painter ## How we test _plant trades_ Every test gets adjusted to your scope. Pick a trade to see what it usually looks like. ![Crew in orange coveralls working on a plant valve](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/oil-gas/valve-crew.webp) Your supervisor is welcome to watch, in Lucknow or over video. Test 01 of 06 ### Pipe welder Welds a pipe coupon in the 6G position. We check it closely by eye, and if you want it X-rayed by an independent lab, we can set that up. - 6G position - Visual inspection - Optional radiography Tests are adjusted to your scope, so these are examples, not a fixed script. ## Certificates _we check_ We don't take a photocopy at face value. Where the issuing body offers a way to verify, we use it. - ### H2S awareness Lots of Gulf plants won't let anyone on site without it. We check it's current, or arrange it before travel. - ### NEBOSH or IOSH Most HSE roles ask for one of these. We verify the certificate number with the issuing body. - ### ASNT Level II The usual requirement for NDT technicians. We look at the method, the expiry date and who certified them. - ### CSWIP or AWS For welding inspectors. Same checks as above, every time. - ### Third-party lifting Riggers and crane operators need recognised certificates. Copies made at a photo shop don't count. Fake or expired certificates are a real problem in this industry. Nobody goes on your list on the strength of a copy alone. ## Gulf oil and gas hubs _we supply_ Our workers have gone to plants and fields right across the region. These are the main industrial areas. ![Plant worker walking through a processing unit](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/oil-gas/plant-walkway.webp) - [**Saudi Arabia** - Jubail - Dammam - Ras Tanura - Yanbu](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/saudi-arabia) - [**Kuwait** - Ahmadi - Southern oil fields](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/kuwait) - [**Qatar** - Ras Laffan - Mesaieed](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/qatar) - [**UAE** - Ruwais - Abu Dhabi](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/uae) - [**Oman** - Sohar - Duqm](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/oman) - [**Bahrain** - Sitra](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/bahrain) More on each country's visa and medical rules on our [GCC countries page](https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries) . ## What helps us _staff your job_ Oil and gas orders move fastest when we know these things from the start. 1. ### Give us shutdown dates early Six to eight weeks' notice is comfortable. Less than that, and we'll still try, but we'll be honest about numbers. 2. ### Tell us the operator's rules Some operators approve every CV themselves and want a set format. If we know that upfront, nothing gets bounced back. 3. ### List the certificates you need H2S, NEBOSH, a particular welding code. Write them down so we screen for them from day one. 4. ### Agree on short contracts Shutdown crews often go on short-term contracts. Make sure the terms are clear so emigration clearance goes through smoothly. ## From demand letter to plant gate You send the demand letter and we test and check certificates. Once you or the operator approve the crew, they do medicals, and we look after visa stamping and emigration clearance.

Write to us and we'll reply within 24 hours. ![Scaffold crew working on a tall structure](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/oil-gas/scaffold-crew.webp) ### Planning a shutdown or a new project? Send us the trades, numbers and dates. We'll come back within a day and tell you honestly what we can do. [hr@kdahiring.com](mailto:hr@kdahiring.com) ### Which oil and gas trades does KDA Hiring recruit? Pipefitters and riggers are the most common. We also recruit welders, scaffolders, instrument technicians, NDT staff, HSE officers and the support crew for shutdowns. ### Can you supply manpower for a plant shutdown? Yes. Give us the dates and the trade mix as early as you can. With six to eight weeks' notice we can usually test and deploy a full crew. ### How do you test pipe welders? They weld a 6G pipe coupon at our test session. We check it visually, and if you'd like radiography done by an independent lab, we can arrange it. ### Which certificates do oil and gas workers need? It depends on the role and the operator. H2S awareness is common for site access. HSE staff usually need NEBOSH or IOSH, NDT technicians need ASNT Level II, and riggers need third-party lifting certificates. ### Do operators approve workers before they're hired? Some do. Large operators often review each CV themselves. We prepare profiles in whatever format they want. ### How long does oil and gas recruitment take? Usually three to six weeks from your demand letter. Certificate checks add a few days. Operator approval can add more, depending on the company. ### What if a worker doesn't perform on site? Let us know. If they leave or are sent back within 90 days, we provide a replacement and don't charge a second fee. ### Do oil and gas workers pay a recruitment fee? No. The contractor pays us. Workers don't pay anything. --- # Manpower Recruitment for GCC Countries | KDA Hiring URL: https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries Indian workers for Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain.

Tell us the country and the roles. We'll reply within a day with how we'd fill them. Use the enquiry form ### Which GCC countries does KDA Hiring recruit for? We recruit for employers in all six: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain. Saudi Arabia and the UAE make up most of our current orders. ### Do workers need a Wafid medical for UAE jobs? Usually not before travel. For most UAE work visas, the medical is done after the worker lands, as part of getting the residence visa. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain do expect a Wafid medical in India first. ### Where do Qatar-bound workers complete their medical? At a Qatar Visa Centre in India. Biometrics and contract signing happen there too. Our candidates use the centre in Lucknow, so they don't have to travel to another city. ### Do Indian workers need emigration clearance for every GCC country? If they hold an ECR passport, yes. All six GCC states are on India's emigration check list, so we file clearance on eMigrate for every ECR worker we deploy. ### Which Gulf country hires the most Indian workers? The UAE and Saudi Arabia have the largest Indian communities in the Gulf, and they're also where most of our own demand comes from. ### Can you recruit for more than one GCC country at the same time? Yes. Plenty of our clients run projects in two or three Gulf states. We handle each country's paperwork separately but give you one account manager for all of it. --- # Overseas Recruitment Process, India to Gulf | KDA Hiring URL: https://kdahiring.com/process Our 8-step overseas recruitment process: demand letter, trade tests, Wafid medical, visa stamping and eMigrate clearance.

KDA Hiring's process runs in eight stages. The employer shares a requirement and sends a demand letter. KDA Hiring then sources and trade-tests candidates in India, and the employer interviews and selects. After that come the medical, visa stamping and eMigrate emigration clearance, followed by departure and a 90-day follow-up period. Most orders are completed in 3 to 6 weeks. 1. **Share your requirement** Day 1 2. **Demand letter and agreement** Days 2 to 5 3. **Sourcing and shortlisting** Week 1 4. **Trade tests and interviews** Weeks 1 to 2 5. **Selection and offer** Week 2 6. **Medical screening** Weeks 2 to 3 7. **Visa stamping and emigration clearance** Weeks 3 to 5 8. **Departure and follow-up** Week 4 onwards ## The eight stages _in detail_ Timings are typical, not guaranteed.

You Send roles, headcount, salary and location KDA Hiring Reply with a sourcing plan and timeline 2. ### Demand letter and agreement Days 2 to 5 Once you're happy with the plan, we need three documents from you: a demand letter on company letterhead, a power of attorney naming KDA HiringLabs, and a specimen employment contract. Some countries want these attested by the Indian embassy, and we'll tell you if yours does. Then we sign a recruitment agreement. You Issue the demand letter, power of attorney and contract KDA Hiring Check the paperwork and sign the agreement 3. ### Sourcing and shortlisting Week 1 Our recruiters reach out across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan. Passports, experience letters and certificates are checked before anyone is invited for testing, which keeps the shortlist clean. You Nothing yet, unless the job description changes KDA Hiring Find candidates and verify their documents 4. ### Trade tests and interviews Weeks 1 to 2 Shortlisted candidates take a hands-on test built around your job description. You can then interview the best of them by video, or fly in and meet them in Lucknow. We also keep a few reserves for every order in case someone drops out later. You Interview candidates and approve your picks KDA Hiring Run trade tests and set up interviews 5. ### Selection and offer Week 2 Selected workers receive the offer, and we go through it with each of them in Hindi or their own language. Salary, hours, accommodation and contract length are all explained before anyone signs, so there are no surprises on arrival. You Confirm final selections KDA Hiring Explain the offer to each worker and collect signatures 6. ### Medical screening Weeks 2 to 3 For Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain, workers take a Wafid medical at an approved centre in India. Qatar-bound workers go to a Qatar Visa Centre instead. For UAE jobs, most of the medical happens after arrival. If anyone is declared unfit, we bring in a reserve. You Process the work visa in your country KDA Hiring Book medicals and track the results 7. ### Visa stamping and emigration clearance Weeks 3 to 5 When your visa comes through, we get it stamped and file emigration clearance on eMigrate for workers with ECR passports. We also buy the mandatory Pravasi Bharatiya Bima Yojana insurance and arrange the government's pre-departure orientation. You Send the issued visa and book or fund flights KDA Hiring Stamping, eMigrate clearance, insurance and orientation 8. ### Departure and follow-up Week 4 onwards Workers fly with every document they need and a phone number to call. We check in with you and with them during the first weeks. If a worker leaves within 90 days, we replace them without charging a second recruitment fee. You Receive your team and let us know how they settle in KDA Hiring Stay in touch and replace any early exits ## Documents _checklist_ Getting these ready early is the easiest way to shave days off the timeline. ### From the employer - Demand letter on company letterhead - Power of attorney in favour of KDA HiringLabs - Specimen employment contract - Work visas, once issued in your country - Embassy attestation, where your country requires it ### From the candidate - Passport valid for at least six months - Recent passport-size photographs - Educational and trade certificates - Experience letters from past employers - Licences or council registration for regulated jobs ![Recruiter guiding a job seeker before travelling abroad](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/pr3.webp) **₹0** Fee for job seekers, at any stage ## Applying for a Gulf job _through us?_ Your side of the process is simpler.

Send us your requirement and you'll have a sourcing plan by tomorrow. Use the enquiry form ### How long does KDA Hiring's recruitment process take? Usually 3 to 6 weeks from the day we receive your demand letter. Sourcing and testing take one to two weeks. The rest depends mostly on how fast your visas are issued and how quickly medical slots open up. ### What documents does an employer need to send? A demand letter on your letterhead, a power of attorney in favour of KDA HiringLabs and a specimen employment contract. Your account manager will tell you whether your country needs them attested. ### Can we interview candidates before selecting them? Yes, and we'd encourage it. Most clients interview by video after our trade tests. Some prefer to visit Lucknow and run their own tests, and we'll organise the venue and candidates for that. ### What happens if a candidate fails the medical? We replace them from the reserve list we keep for every order. Because medicals happen early, you find out before the visa stage moves too far. ### What if a worker leaves soon after arriving? If it happens within 90 days of deployment, we send a replacement and don't charge a second recruitment fee. ### Can urgent orders be processed faster? Sometimes. For common trades we often have tested candidates ready, which shortens sourcing. Visa issuing and medical slots still set the pace, so we'll give you an honest date rather than a hopeful one. --- # Manpower Recruitment for Saudi Arabia from India | KDA Hiring URL: https://kdahiring.com/gcc-countries/saudi-arabia MEA licensed Lucknow agency recruiting Indian workers for Saudi Arabia: jobs in demand, Wafid medical, Tasheer biometrics and skill verification steps.

Most of them are for Dubai and Abu Dhabi. - MEA licensed agency - All skill levels - ₹0 charged to workers ![Burj Khalifa rising above Downtown Dubai](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/gcc/ae-city.webp) **UAE** 9+ cities we place in **MEA licensed** RC B-3267, Lucknow ## How does KDA Hiring recruit for the _UAE_ ? We recruit Indian workers for companies across the UAE, at every level from helpers to engineers. Facility management, hospitality, logistics and construction make up most of our UAE work. KDA Hiring is an MEA licensed agency in Lucknow. We find and test candidates, help with degree attestation for skilled roles, and file eMigrate clearance where needed. UAE employers pay our fee. Workers pay nothing. **Zero fee for workers.** UAE employers pay our recruitment fee. Candidates never pay us anything. ## Hiring Indian workers for the _UAE_ Hiring for the UAE is a bit different from the rest of the Gulf. The employer applies for the work permit locally, and most of the medical screening happens after the worker arrives, as part of the residence visa. So the India side is often quicker than it is for Saudi Arabia or Kuwait. That doesn't mean less checking on our side. UAE employers, especially in hospitality and FM, are particular about English, grooming and how people deal with customers. We screen for that alongside the practical stuff. For skilled roles, degree attestation is the step that catches people out. We start it early so it doesn't hold up an otherwise ready candidate. ![Flag of United Arab Emirates](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/flags/lg/ae.png) ### The UAE at a glance Main hiring hubs Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah Work permit Issued through MOHRE, or the free zone authority Medical Mostly done after arrival in the UAE After arrival Medical, Emirates ID and residence visa Skilled roles Degree attestation usually required ## Jobs in demand in the _UAE_ These are the sectors our UAE orders come from most, and the roles that keep coming up. - ### Facility management - Cleaners - Security guards - MEP technicians - Supervisors - ### Hospitality - Waiters - Commis cooks - Room attendants - Baristas - ### Logistics - Light and heavy drivers - Forklift operators - Warehouse staff - ### Construction - Masons - Electricians - Plumbers - Site engineers [Construction recruitment](https://kdahiring.com/industries-construction) ## Visa and paperwork for the UAE, step by step Here's how a typical UAE order moves, from your side to ours. 1. ### Work permit in the UAE You apply for the work permit through MOHRE or your free zone and send us the approval with the demand letter. 2. ### Screening and selection We test and interview candidates in Lucknow.
