Pakistan, India or Nepal? Choosing Workers for Türkiye

Published 2026-09-20 · Lahore · Renaissance Recruitment Inc. · BEOE-licensed OEP

Where Pakistan is stronger

Construction, welding, general manufacturing, textiles — volume trades with Gulf site discipline (Saudi, UAE, Qatar).
English on trade-tested candidates is usually enough for a supervisor layer.
Wage expectations stay inside most OSB project budgets.

Where others may fit better

India often wins on some CNC / automotive specialities. Nepal is common on repetitive line and some logistics roles. Neither fact makes Pakistan “second.” It means you specify the trade, then we say yes or no.

What to ignore

Facebook ads that promise “500 workers next month, any country.” MoLSS does not work that way. Ratio + consular reference + a real trade-test decide the file.

Zero sourcing fee does not mean zero host-country cost. Read the Türkiye cost brief before you compare agencies on price alone.

Turning this into a hire in Türkiye.

Day 1: a written feasibility answer to your demand.

Working days 5 to 10: a trade-tested shortlist with each candidate's result.

Interviews: you approve the people you want; nobody else goes forward.

Permits and documents: You file the work permit through e-Devlet (Ministry of Labour and Social Security). Each candidate is filed against a 16-digit government reference code with a fixed 30-day employer registration deadline, and the 5-to-1 rule on Turkish to foreign staff applies.

Departure: pre-departure orientation, travel coordination and support after arrival.

What you pay and what you send.

RRI does not bill employers for sourcing, screening, trade testing or document processing. You cover the statutory items on your side, such as work-permit fee (harç), and the contract package. Flights are agreed case by case for each project. Candidates pay only the placement fee that BEOE regulation allows.

Your side of the paperwork is short: a demand letter, a power of attorney, the employment contract and the permit papers required by the destination country.
