What do employers in Europe hire from India?
Employers in Europe who look to India for staff are usually healthcare and care providers, hotels and catering groups, food and manufacturing plants, farms and logistics companies. Most European countries need the employer to sponsor a work permit, and several ask for a language level or a recognised qualification before you can start. The order is much the same as the Gulf. Offer, documents, work permit and visa, then travel. Openings depend on the permits employers hold.
We recruit for these employers across every state and union territory in India. Where you live does not decide the shortlist. Your trade, your experience and your papers do.
How employers interview
- A short call with our team first, so you know how the employer interviews.
- A video interview with the employer, often with a second round for the hiring manager.
- A skills or language check for roles that need one.
- An in-person interview when the employer runs a selection drive in India.
How does hiring from India to Europe work?
Every file follows the same order, and you are told what stage yours is at. Nothing is submitted to an employer without your agreement, and you always see the offer in writing before anything else moves.
- 01
Apply with your CV
Send your CV and your trade or qualification. Nasrec recruits candidates from anywhere in India for employers in Europe.
- 02
Shortlisting
Your CV is matched to a role an employer is allowed to fill from outside Europe. We call you before anything is submitted.
- 03
Interview
Most European employers interview on video, sometimes twice, and some ask for a short skills test for trades and kitchens.
- 04
Offer and contract
A written offer and contract follow selection. Read them fully; the contract is also part of the permit file.
- 05
Qualifications and language
Several countries ask for your qualification to be recognised, or for a language level, before the permit can be applied for.
- 06
Work permit
The employer applies for the permit in its own country. The time this takes is set by that country's authorities.
- 07
Visa and travel
Once the permit is issued you book a visa appointment, and travel follows. You are briefed before you leave India.
What documents do I need for Europe?
Have your papers ready before the interview. A complete file moves through the visa stage with far less waiting, and a missing experience letter can hold a whole batch. Photograph each document in good light so every line can be read.
The list on the right is the usual shape of a file. Some roles ask for more, and you are told exactly what is missing rather than left to guess.
