Recruitment Procedure

Validation of Proper Documentation: Unlike other recruiting agencies, we only collect documents and compile them into workers personal files but we also do our best to verify the originality of those documents. For example, we check the originality of educational documents with the board of education and check police records to make sure that the workers are recruited by our organization have a clear record.

Medical Checkup: After passing the final stage of selection, a worker is sent for a medical checkup at the modern and approved medical center of the respective embassy of the country of employment. These medical facilities maintain strict obedience to international standards. For the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, prospective workers are required by law to undergo a medical check-up at a GAMCA-approved medical center.

Our workers usually go through the following check-ups:

1. Routine Urine Test

2. HBsAg, TPHA, HIV, Anti-HCV

3. RBS, S Bilirubin, SGPT, SGOT, Creatine, Cholesterol

4. Wilda Test

5. X-Ray, TB

Application and Receipt of Visa: On behalf of the selected workers, Merchant Overseas applies for a visa at the relevant embassy as approved by the employer. For countries like the UAE, Qatar, and Oman, we send complete sets of documents so that our clients can submit visa applications to their respective ministries of particular country for processing.

Upon receipt of a visa from Concerned Embassy:

1. To protect the rights of workers, the terms of the final agreement will be combined with the employment agreement.

2. All documentation will be prepared as required.

3. All required documents are submitted to BMET for getting emigration clearance.

We strongly believe that an worker should be outspoken enough to be present at work. We work with them on the necessary soft skill development before deploying them.

Ticketing and Emigration: The employer can send the PTA or send the required travel expenses in favor of Merchant Overseas for the convenience of traveling of selected workers on time. We get emigration clearance from the concerned government department for the workers.

Ticket Reservation: With the consent of employer, our own IATA authorized travel agency is instructed to reserve the seats for the workers then report to employer to get flight confirmation.

Flight Schedule: Details of the flight of workers will be given to the employer at least 24 hours in advance to arrange the necessary pick-up.

Follow up: Our work does not end after the deployment of workers. We ensure that our workers are received on time by company representatives at the airport. We follow up with our clients to ensure that our workers are employed and match their needs. If there is a crisis situation regarding job layoffs, staff shedding, we consult with both employers and workers to reach a common platform where both parties can win.

Repatriating: If the recruited workers are disqualified due to lack of medical fitness or lack of professional skills in their respective businesses, we usually replace the workers at our own cost or we act in accordance with the agreement made between the parties.
