Manpower Agency in Nepal
Licensed Recruitment from Kathmandu Since 1995
The Gurkha Re-Employment Pvt. Ltd. is a licensed manpower recruitment agency based in Basundhara, Kathmandu, supplying skilled and semi-skilled Nepali workers to employers worldwide.
We are a Government of Nepal registered foreign employment company, operating continuously since 1995 — more than 31 years as a recruitment agency in Nepal.
Employers know us as a manpower company that delivers on headcount and timelines. Workers know us as a manpower consultancy that publishes the real terms of every job before they commit. We work across the Gulf, Asia and Europe, and every placement runs through the same process: sourcing, screening, documentation, medical clearance, orientation and deployment.

- Nepal Chamber of Commerce — membership no. 6763

Why Employers Choose Us
Thirty-one years, a government licence, and a client roster you can check.
Nepal has many manpower agencies. What separates a reliable overseas employment partner from an agent who disappears once the fee is paid is verifiable: a licence you can check, a client list you can call, and terms published in writing.
We are licensed by the Department of Foreign Employment, hold JITCO accreditation for Japan, and are members of the Nepal Chamber of Commerce. As an employment agency working across seven countries, we handle the whole process in-house rather than subcontracting it.
Countries we supply to: United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Malaysia, Japan and the United Kingdom.
