The process of recruiting manpower from abroad through registered recruiting agents under the Ministry of External Affairs involves several key steps to ensure a transparent and regulated process. Here is a description of the overall recruitment process:
Recruiting agents who wish to engage in overseas manpower recruitment need to obtain pre-approval from the concerned government authorities. They must meet specific criteria and comply with the regulations set by the Ministry of External Affairs. Once approved, they are registered as authorized recruiting agents.
Employers or companies seeking to hire manpower from abroad submit their demand and job orders to the registered recruiting agents. These orders specify the number of workers required, job descriptions, qualifications, experience, and other relevant details.
Registered recruiting agents undertake the task of sourcing suitable candidates based on the demand and job orders. They employ various methods such as advertising, conducting interviews, and accessing their existing database of potential candidates. The agents screen the candidates to assess their qualifications, skills, experience, and suitability for the specific job roles.
Once the candidates are shortlisted, the recruiting agents assist them in completing the necessary documentation, including application forms, resume/CV preparation, and other required paperwork. They verify the authenticity of the candidates' educational and professional credentials, ensuring they meet the employer's requirements and any legal regulations set by the government.
The recruiting agents coordinate and facilitate interviews between the employers and the shortlisted candidates. This can be done through various means such as video conferencing or in-person meetings, depending on the circumstances. The agents assist in scheduling interviews, providing necessary information to both parties, and collecting feedback after the interviews.
Candidates who are selected by the employers undergo a medical examination to ensure they are fit for overseas employment. The recruiting agents arrange and coordinate these medical tests at authorized medical centers. After the medical clearance, the agents assist the candidates in the visa application process, guiding them through the required documentation, forms, and fees.
Before the candidates travel abroad, the recruiting agents provide them with orientation sessions and pre-departure training. These sessions familiarize the candidates with the destination country's culture, work environment, legal regulations, and employer expectations. They also provide guidance on safety, health, and financial matters to help the candidates adapt smoothly to their new surroundings.
The recruiting agents make the necessary travel arrangements, including booking flights, arranging accommodation, and organizing transportation to the destination country. They ensure that all logistical aspects are well-coordinated and that the candidates have a smooth transition from their home country to the host country.
Even after the candidates arrive at their destination, the registered recruiting agents continue to provide support and assistance. This includes liaising with employers to ensure a smooth integration into the workforce, addressing any concerns or issues that may arise, and maintaining regular communication with both the candidates and the employers. By adhering to the recruitment process through registered recruiting agents under the Ministry of External Affairs, the aim is to maintain transparency, protect the rights of the candidates, and ensure a fair and regulated overseas manpower recruitment process that benefits both the employers and the recruited workforce.
We begin by conducting detailed consultations with our clients to understand their specific job requirements, organizational culture, and desired qualifications and experience for the positions they wish to fill. This helps us create a clear and comprehensive job description.
We employ a multi-channel approach to source potential candidates. This includes leveraging our extensive network, utilizing online job portals, advertising on relevant platforms, and conducting targeted searches. We also maintain a database of qualified candidates to expedite the sourcing process.
Once applications are received, our experienced recruiters thoroughly review and screen each candidate's qualifications, skills, and experience against the job requirements. We conduct preliminary interviews and assessments to shortlist the most suitable candidates for further evaluation.
Shortlisted candidates are then invited for interviews, either in person or through video conferencing, depending on the location and convenience of the candidate. Our expert recruiters conduct comprehensive interviews and assessments to evaluate the candidates' technical competencies, cultural fit, and overall suitability for the position.
We understand the importance of verifying the authenticity of a candidate's credentials. We conduct reference checks with previous employers and undertake background checks to ensure the candidates' qualifications, experience, and character align with the provided information.
We present a shortlist of the most qualified candidates to our clients along with their resumes, interview assessments, and reference checks. Our clients then have the opportunity to interview the candidates themselves and make the final selection decision.
Upon successful recruitment of a candidate, the company is required to pay a service charge of 8.33% of the candidate's annual salary as per the agreed terms and conditions.
Additionally, we offer a guarantee period. If a candidate recruited through our agency fails to serve the three-month probationary period, we provide a replacement candidate at no additional cost to the company. This ensures that our clients receive value for their investment and minimizes any potential risks associated with recruitment.
At Astra International OPC Pvt Ltd, we strive to ensure a transparent, efficient, and cost-effective recruitment process for our clients.
