How we work

Five stages, one written timeline.

Every mandate — one candidate or five hundred — runs through the same five stages. You know what happens next, what it depends on and who owns it.

The five stages

Both sides of the process

Recruitment only works when the employer and the candidate are told the same thing. Each stage below shows what happens on your side and what the candidate experiences at the same point.

  1. STEP 01

    Requirement & mandate

    Employer side

    You share the job description, trade matrix, headcount, wage structure and deployment window. We confirm feasibility, scope and timelines in writing.

    Candidate side

    Submit your CV and passport details through the form on this site. You will receive a reference number for your application.

  2. STEP 02

    Sourcing & screening

    Employer side

    Trade-wise sourcing from our network and database, followed by document verification, skill screening and medical history checks.

    Candidate side

    If your trade, experience and availability match a mandate, our recruiter contacts you to confirm details and explain the role and wage.

  3. STEP 03

    Trade test & interview

    Employer side

    Candidates are tested against your specification in our workshop and then interviewed by your panel — in India or by video.

    Candidate side

    Attend the practical assessment at our centre and meet the employer — in person or by video, as your role requires.

  4. STEP 04

    Offer, medics & clearance

    Employer side

    Written offers, panel medicals, attestations, insurance and emigration clearance are processed in sequence with status tracking.

    Candidate side

    On selection you receive a written offer, complete the panel medical and submit documents for attestation and clearance.

  5. STEP 05

    Mobilisation & follow-up

    Employer side

    Ticketing, orientation briefing and arrival coordination — with in-country support for the first weeks of the deployment.

    Candidate side

    We process your visa and clearance, brief you on the employer, salary and living arrangements, and coordinate your travel.

What we need from you

Two checklists before stage one

Requirements move fastest when both sides arrive prepared. These are the documents and details that unlock each stage.

From employers

  • Trade-wise matrix with experience bands and any certification
  • Headcount per trade, site location and shift pattern
  • Wage band, allowances, accommodation and contract duration
  • Deployment window and preferred interview dates
  • Any client-specific trade test procedure or acceptance criteria

From candidates

  • Passport with at least 18 months of validity
  • CV with employer names, trades and dates for each role
  • Qualification and experience certificates
  • Trade licence or certification, where the role requires it
  • Police clearance certificate, requested after shortlisting

Timelines

How long each stage usually takes

Typical durations for a Gulf mandate. Volumes, scarce trades and administrative queues are the usual causes of delay — we flag them before they become surprises.

Typical duration and delay factors per recruitment stage
Stage Typical duration What can slow it down
Requirement & mandate 1 – 3 days Incomplete trade matrix or wage band
Sourcing & screening 3 – 14 days Scarce trade or certification
Trade test & interview 1 – 2 weeks Client interview dates and delegation visas
Offer, medics & clearance 3 – 8 weeks Panel medical, attestation or clearance queues
Mobilisation & follow-up 1 – 2 weeks Ticketing and batch consolidation

Swipe the table sideways to see the remaining column.

End-to-end deployment, from mandate to departure, typically takes six to twelve weeks for Gulf markets. Timelines are confirmed in writing per mandate.

Process questions

The legal and procedural framework

How licensing, clearance and candidate protection work around every deployment.

All process FAQs
Are you a licensed recruiting agent?

Galaxy Overseas operates as a registered recruiting agent under the Indian emigration framework, and all deployments follow the Emigration Act, 1983 and destination-country labour requirements. Registration details appear in the site footer.

Why is emigration clearance required?

Indian law requires emigration clearance for certain categories of workers before departure. It protects the worker by validating the employment contract, wage and employer before travel.

Do you recruit workers under 18?

No. We do not recruit or deploy anyone below the legal minimum working age, and we decline any mandate that requires it.

How are wages, accommodation and benefits handled?

All terms are stated in a written employment contract issued by the employer before departure, including wage, working hours, overtime, accommodation, food, medical cover and leave entitlements.

What if a candidate fails a medical?

Where a destination-country medical standard is not met we inform the candidate and the employer, and where permitted we re-test or propose an alternative role. Failing a panel medical ends that deployment, not the candidate relationship.
