Recruitment
How to Hire from Nepal?
Hiring through The Gurkha usually takes about four weeks from enquiry to departure, depending mainly on document attestation. We find and shortlist candidates, you interview and choose, and we handle the paperwork, medicals, visas and labour clearance.
Since 1995 we have placed more than 80,000 Nepali workers with employers abroad. Every recruitment follows the same steps:
- We collect applications from our own candidate databank and through advertisements in national newspapers and on social media.
- Our selection committee screens every application against your requirements.
- We send you the CVs of shortlisted candidates.
- You interview and make the final selection. We arrange the interviews and handle all logistics.
- Medical examination: selected candidates are examined at an authorised hospital or clinic. Only candidates found medically fit for foreign employment go on to the visa process.
Once we receive the visas and all other documents, candidates are deployed within three weeks.
Please note:
*We help every selected candidate get their documents in order.
*We arrange flight schedules once the candidates’ visas arrive.
*Ticketing and immigration clearance: the employer provides a PTA (prepaid ticket advice) for the selected candidates. Where candidates pay their own travel, we obtain their immigration clearance from the Department of Labour and complete all departure formalities.
*Orientation before departure: every candidate attends an orientation before travelling, covering their duties and responsibilities, the working environment abroad and the key laws of the country of employment.
Guarantees:
*The Gurkha takes full responsibility for deploying workers on time, except when air tickets are unavailable or other circumstances are beyond our control.
*The Gurkha will take back any worker the employer finds technically unfit or unable to do the job.
