Recruitment Process

01 / Our Recruitment Process

The right people make or break a project. Whether it’s a large construction project, a busy manufacturing plant, or a hospital facing staff shortages, success depends on having skilled, reliable workers in place at the right time. Yet employers around the world are facing a growing shortage of trained and qualified labour, and every unfilled position means project delays, rising costs, and pressure on existing teams.

For over 45 years, Rao International has helped businesses solve this challenge. As a government-licensed, third-generation overseas recruitment company, we connect employers with skilled and semi-skilled talent from India across construction, oil & gas, manufacturing, hospitality, and healthcare. From technical specialists to large-scale general workforces, we recruit for the roles that keep projects and operations running.

Our strength lies in our reach and our process. With a sourcing network spanning 50+ trade centres across India, we can mobilise workers at scale, whether you need a handful of specialists or a large workforce for a major project. Every candidate goes through a structured, step-by-step recruitment process: we start by understanding your exact requirements, then source and shortlist suitable candidates, conduct skill assessments, trade tests, and interviews, verify documents, and manage the complete visa and deployment process. We also keep backup candidates ready, so last-minute dropouts don’t slow your project down.

Over the decades, we have placed workers with employers across the globe, and we understand the documentation, compliance, and immigration requirements that different countries involve. That experience lets us handle the paperwork and the coordination, so you can focus on your business.

At Rao International, our goal is simple: to deliver the right people, fully prepared and on schedule, so your workforce is ready to perform from day one.

03/Recruitment Process

Understanding Your Requirements

We start by understanding your exact needs: job roles, number of workers, skills, qualifications, experience, contract length, salary and work location.

Planning Our Sourcing Strategy

Different trades and professions are recruited from different parts of India, so we plan our sourcing strategy around your roles to reach the best-matched talent pool.

Screening and Selection

Every candidate goes through a trade or skill test, experience verification, police verification, a medical check-up and an interview. Employers can also interview shortlisted candidates, in person or online, before final selection.

Offer Letter, Work Permit and Visa Documentation

Once the candidate confirms, the employer issues the offer letter and Rao International prepares all the required documents for the destination country.

  • Work permit: In most countries, the employer applies for the work permit or employment approval before the worker travels.
  • Qualification recognition: Where required, such as for nurses or regulated trades, we support the recognition of Indian qualifications.
  • Visa: Once the permit is approved, the worker receives the employment or work visa from that country’s embassy.
  • Emigration clearance: Where applicable, we complete Indian emigration formalities before departure.

Where needed, we also provide language training, skill training and pre-departure orientation. Once the visa is approved, we book flight tickets.

Timelines vary by country, usually from a few weeks to a few months.

Deployment

We coordinate travel and arrival with the employer. Where required, the worker completes local registration or residence formalities after arrival. We stay available for support throughout the contract, including permit renewals and extensions.

Visa and work permit rules differ by country and change frequently. Timelines are indicative and may vary by case.
