# Manpower supply from India for Gulf companies

Sometimes it's one ICU nurse. Sometimes it's three hundred people for a site that opens in spring. Either way, the job's the same for us: find people in India who can do the work, check them properly and get them to you legally.

## What is _manpower supply?_

Manpower supply is when an agency finds workers for a company. 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. You pay our fee. They don't.

### Who does what

## Three levels of _manpower_

We screen each level differently, because what makes a good helper isn't what makes a good engineer. Each one has its own page with the full detail.

## What a _typical order_ looks like

Most orders mix skill levels. 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 |

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.

### 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.
