Why Turkish body shops recruit from Pakistan
Vehicle numbers and the dealership and workshop network in Türkiye have grown faster than the local pool of trained body-shop staff. Body shops, dealership service centres and fleet workshops need people who can lay a clean factory-match finish or straighten a panel without repainting it. RRI recruits Auto Painters and Auto Denters in Pakistan for Turkish employers on employer-sponsored work permits.
Two different trades — specify which one you need
An Auto Painter works in the spray booth: masking, mixing to the factory colour code, primer, base coat and clear coat, then buffing and polishing.
An Auto Denter (bodywork technician / paintless dent repair specialist) restores panel shape: traditional panel-beating and body alignment, plus PDR with glue-pull kits and dent rods where the original paint is intact. Most workshops need both, so we can recruit the two roles side by side.
The package Turkish workshops currently offer
Current offers for both roles are USD 750 per month, with food, accommodation, medical cover and transport to and from the workshop provided by the employer. Use this as a benchmark when you prepare your demand letter. The employer pays no sourcing, screening or trade-testing fee to RRI; candidates pay only the placement fee BEOE regulation allows.
How we screen: 3 years’ experience and a work video
You cannot try a worker on a shift before the permit is filed, so screening has to be done in Pakistan. We shortlist only candidates with at least 3 years’ hands-on experience who send a short work video of themselves doing the job: spray-painting or panel preparation for painters, dent-pulling, panel-beating or PDR for denters.
You see the video with the shortlist, so you approve people on evidence of their work, not on a CV alone.
Permit route and timeline
After you approve the shortlist, you file the work-permit application through e-Devlet (Ministry of Labour and Social Security). In parallel we prepare the Pakistan-side documents, including medical fitness and police clearance. Plan for 7–9 weeks from offer to arrival once both document chains are complete.
For speed we put forward candidates who are in Pakistan and available now, not workers already employed abroad.
