Technical craftsmanship
Welders, fitters, assemblers and electricians trained at ITI institutes, with practice on major Gulf projects.

Welders, fitters, operators and production workers with documented ITI/NCVT qualifications. We manage the whole process: sourcing and pre-selection in India, interviews and trade tests, sworn translations, client approval, flights, accommodation and onboarding at the plant – usually within 1–3 months.
India · South Asia
India trains its workforce in over ten thousand ITI institutes, and millions of Indians work on contracts in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Japan and Western Europe. For a Ukrainian employer this means access to candidates with proven craftsmanship – welders, fitters, assemblers and machine operators – who understand the realities of shift work and health and safety standards.
Recruitment from India follows a careful process on both sides: in India it involves document and qualification verification and the services of a trusted local partner, and in Ukraine it involves sworn translations and client approval of every profile. We manage the entire process from start to finish: one timeline, one budget, one coordinator.

The ITI/NCVT and NSDC system lets you verify qualifications on paper, before you even talk to the employer.
English is an official language and the language of instruction in technical education – instructions and safety briefings work from day one.
India is the world's most populous country. Even narrow profiles can be filled without months of waiting.
Respect for hierarchy, readiness for shift work and overtime, and long contracts rather than seasonal turnover.
If a worker does not meet expectations during the trial period, we provide a free replacement.

We run the process in five stages: call, quote and contract, recruitment in India, candidate verification and client approval, sworn translations and preparation, and relocation. Each stage has a clear timeframe and a complete set of documents – below we show step by step what happens, how long it takes and who covers the costs.

Where Indian workers excel
Positions
The strongest point of this route is technical roles that require proven qualifications. Practical tests – including welding trials – are an additional paid service. We organise them on site in Delhi, Mumbai and Kochi at the employer's request.

A comparison of typical differences in the process and candidate profile.
| Criterion | India | Other routes |
|---|---|---|
| Candidate profile | Strong technical craftsmanship (ITI, welding, assembly) | More often general production roles |
| English proficiency | Good among technical staff – language of instruction | Usually basic |
| Process duration | 1–3 months | 1–3 months (without additional formalities routes) |
| Verification depth | ITI/NCVT certificate verification and trade tests | Basic reference checks |
| Volume availability | Very high – large groups in a short time | Limited for narrow profiles |

Cultural integration
Indian teams perform well where roles and leadership are clearly defined. A few simple organisational decisions shorten onboarding and clearly reduce turnover in the first year.
Language barrier on the shop floor
Basic Ukrainian courses, instructions and safety briefings in English, pictograms and a translator-foreman in every larger group.
Cultural differences
Training for Ukrainian staff: the meaning of hierarchy, indirect communication style and how issues are raised. Orientation sessions for workers before arrival.
Diet and religious practices
A vegetarian option in the canteen, access to a kitchen at the accommodation, a prayer space and accounting for holidays such as Diwali in the schedule.
First winter and acclimatisation
A winter clothing package, briefing on weather conditions and commuting, and support in the first weeks after arrival.
Short answers to questions about recruiting workers from India.
India is the world's largest labour market and a country with a very strong technical base: welding, metalworking, construction, manufacturing and logistics. Candidates hold documented qualifications from the ITI/NCVT or NSDC system, experience on Gulf contracts and a strong work ethic. For an employer this means a wide choice of profiles and a shorter onboarding time.
1) Needs analysis and job description, 2) sourcing and pre-selection by our partners in India – verification of ITI/NCVT certificates and references (video calls with the employer and in-person interviews are possible on the company's explicit request), 3) trade tests and profile verification, 4) sworn translation of diplomas and work history, medical checks and client approval of the profiles, 5) flights, airport transfer, accommodation and onboarding at the plant, with a dedicated coordinator throughout.
Realistically 1–3 months from signing the contract to the first day of work. Sourcing, verification and sworn translations are the main stages that take time. For larger groups the stages overlap, so subsequent batches arrive faster.
English is an official language in India alongside Hindi and the language of instruction in technical education. The level depends on the region and education: candidates who completed ITI training and have Gulf experience usually communicate confidently on work-related matters. We verify the language level during the video interview and describe it in every candidate profile.
Most commonly these are ITI (Industrial Training Institute) diplomas confirmed by NCVT/SCVT and NSDC certificates. In welding we see qualifications compliant with ASME/AWS, and in construction and installation work – many years of practice on projects in the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. We verify qualifications with documents before presenting a candidate. Practical tests are an additional paid service, available on the employer's request.
We verify ITI/NCVT and NSDC certificates with the issuing institutes, confirm employment history through references, and produce sworn translations of every diploma and certificate. Candidates are also matched to practical trade tests before we present a shortlist for your approval.
The budget consists of the agency fee, flights and airport transfer, accommodation, onboarding, sworn translations, and medical checks and insurance. We present a precise calculation for a specific position and number of people before the process starts – with no hidden items.
As standard we carry out sourcing and pre-selection – we verify documents, certificates and references, and leave the final choice to the employer. Video calls with candidates and in-person interviews are organised at the company's explicit request. Practical trade tests – including welding trials – are organised on site in India before the profiles are submitted for client approval.
Pay and other employment terms are set out transparently in the contract and quote agreed with the employer before recruitment begins, and candidates never pay any recruitment fees.
Welding and metalworking, manufacturing and the machinery industry, construction and finishing works, electrical and plumbing installations, logistics and warehousing, and catering. These are sectors where proven craftsmanship and shift work matter.
It is standard for accommodation to be provided by the employer or the agency. We organise flights, airport transfer, housing that meets sanitary requirements and onboarding. We also suggest simple cultural solutions: a vegetarian option in the canteen, a prayer space, time off for Diwali – this genuinely reduces turnover.
During the agreed trial period we provide a free replacement of the worker. Throughout the contract, the company and the team are supported by a single coordinator who deals with issues before they lead to turnover.
