We recruit for each industry with its own tests and its own document checks, so the workers you receive are ready for your kind of work. - Construction - Healthcare - Hospitality - Manufacturing - Oil and gas - Transport - Facility management - IT and telecom ## Which industries does _KDA Hiring_ recruit for? KDA Hiring supplies Indian manpower to eight industries across the GCC.

Gulf contractors need big crews quickly, and one weak link in a shuttering gang can hold up an entire floor. We recruit everyone from general labourers to site engineers, usually in batches timed to your project schedule. ### Skilled - Civil engineer - Site supervisor - Quantity surveyor - Foreman ### Semi-skilled - Steel fixer - Shuttering carpenter - Mason - Scaffolder - Tile fixer ### Unskilled - General labourer - Construction helper ### How we screen Steel fixers tie a cage in front of our assessors and masons build a test wall. For scaffolders, we verify their certificates as well.

Before a nurse can start work, their licence has to clear source verification and the destination country's licensing exam. That's why we start checking papers on day one instead of leaving it until the end. ### Skilled - Staff nurse (ICU, OT, ER) - Lab technician - Pharmacist - Radiographer - Physiotherapist ### Semi-skilled - Patient care assistant - Ward attendant ### Unskilled - Hospital cleaner ### How we screen We look at the degree, council registration and an experience letter from every hospital on the CV. Candidates also get guidance on preparing for the licensing exam. [See healthcare roles in detail](https://kdahiring.com/industries-healthcare) **03** Hospitality ### Strongest demand - UAE - Saudi Arabia - Qatar ## Hotel and hospitality staff recruitment Guests notice the staff long before they notice the décor. Our chefs are tested in a kitchen, and front-of-house candidates go through a mock service. We also pay attention to how they speak to people, since that matters as much as what they can cook. ### Skilled - Sous chef - F&B supervisor ### Semi-skilled - Tandoor chef - Commis cook - Waiter - Barista ### Unskilled - Room attendant - Steward - Kitchen helper ### How we screen Chefs cook a trial dish. Service staff do a short role-play, and we check basic spoken English. ![Factory technicians in hard hats reviewing a checklist](https://kdahiring.com/siteadmin/images/pr4-4.webp) **04** Manufacturing ### Strongest demand - Saudi Arabia - Oman - Bahrain ## Factory and manufacturing manpower supply Factories in the Gulf want workers who can step onto a production line without weeks of retraining.

Every driver we send has been tested on the class of vehicle you actually run. ### Semi-skilled - Heavy truck driver - Trailer driver - Bus driver - Light vehicle driver - Forklift operator ### Unskilled - Warehouse staff - Loader ### How we screen Each driver takes a road test on the right vehicle class, and we confirm their licence history.

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. Send us the job description and we'll tell you honestly whether we can fill it.
