# MEA approved overseas recruitment agency in Lucknow, hiring for the Gulf

Gulf companies call us when they need Indian workers who can do the job from day one. Welders, nurses, drivers, cooks, engineers. We run the trade tests, book the medicals, sort the visas and file everything on eMigrate. The worker doesn't pay us a rupee. The employer covers it.

## Why Gulf employers pick our _overseas manpower recruitment services_

Ask any HR manager in Dubai or Riyadh what goes wrong with hiring from India and you'll hear the same stories. 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. Another wants three ICU nurses by next month. We recruit at every level, and you talk to the same account manager from start to finish.

## Gulf manpower recruitment _by industry_

## How our overseas _recruitment process_ works

Plan on 3 to 6 weeks from demand letter to departure. 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.

## 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

### 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.
