What do employers in the UAE hire from India?
Employers in the United Arab Emirates who recruit from India are mostly contracting groups, facilities management and cleaning companies, hotels and restaurants, hospitals and clinics, warehouses and logistics operators. The order is much the same for every role. Shortlist, video interview or trade test, written offer, document check, medical at an approved centre, employment visa, then travel. You are told where your file stands at each stage, and what to carry on the day you fly.
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 nothing in the interview is a surprise.
- A video interview with the employer, often with a supervisor who knows the work.
- A practical trade test at a test centre or workshop for technical and site roles.
- An in-person interview when the employer's team travels to India for a selection drive.
