For job seekers
What candidates ask us most often before applying for an overseas role.
Do I have to pay a fee to get a job through Galaxy Overseas?
No. We do not charge candidates a placement fee. Legitimate costs — a medical examination, passport renewal, police clearance — are paid directly to the service provider at published government or panel rates, and are explained to you in writing before you spend anything.
Which countries do you recruit for?
Our largest markets are the Gulf countries — Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain — with selected requirements in Southeast Asia and Europe. Live openings are published on our Search Jobs page.
What documents do I need to apply?
A passport with at least 18 months of validity, an updated CV, passport-size photographs, qualification and experience certificates, and a police clearance certificate. Trade roles may also require certification or a licence.
How long does the whole process take?
From shortlisting to visa stamping usually takes six to twelve weeks, depending on the client, the destination and how quickly medicals and attestations are completed. You receive a stage-wise timeline once your documents are in.
Is there a trade test or interview?
Usually yes. Most skilled and technical roles include a practical trade test at our centre and an interview with the employer, either in person at our office or over video.
Can I apply if I have never worked abroad?
Many requirements are open to first-time overseas workers, especially in facility management, hospitality, retail and construction support work. Clients set experience requirements, and we publish them honestly on each opening.
What happens after I am selected?
You receive a written offer, complete medicals and documentation, we process emigration clearance, and we coordinate your travel. You are briefed on the employer, salary structure, accommodation and reporting arrangements before departure.
How do I know an offer is genuine?
A genuine offer comes with a written contract matching your visa category, an employer you can verify, and no demand for cash to “secure” the job. If anyone asks for a payment in our name, report it to us immediately.
For employers
How we work with client organisations, from first enquiry to deployment.
How quickly can you submit a shortlist?
For trades already in our database we can share a first shortlist within a few working days. For scarce skills, niche certifications or very large volumes, plan for two to four weeks of sourcing and testing before interviews.
How do you verify candidates?
We verify passports, qualification and experience documents, run practical trade tests where relevant, and screen medical and police-clearance history before a candidate reaches your interview panel.
Can you handle very large requirements?
Yes. Large mandates are broken into mobilisation batches with agreed deployment dates, so your project receives people on a predictable schedule rather than in one uncontrolled movement.
Can you arrange interviews in India?
We host interview chambers and video-interview facilities at our office, and we arrange delegation visits — visas, hotel, transport and interpreters — when your team prefers to travel and meet candidates directly.
Who manages visas and compliance?
We do, as part of the mandate. Attestation, medicals, insurance, emigration clearance and travel are tracked per candidate, with status visible to your HR team throughout.
What are your commercial terms?
Terms are set out in a written service agreement covering mandate scope, service fee, payment stages and the replacement guarantee. Send us your requirement and we will issue a proposal with clear numbers.
What if a candidate does not work out?
Our service agreement includes a replacement guarantee period. If a deployed candidate leaves or proves unsuitable within that period for reasons not attributable to the employer, we source a compliant replacement.
Process & compliance
The legal and procedural framework around every deployment.
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.
How do you protect candidate data?
Candidate documents are held for recruitment and compliance purposes only, shared with the employer and authorities as required for the mandate, and handled as described in our privacy policy.
