Workers from India for jobs in Croatia.
Recruitment and legal employment

India is the world's largest labour market and a country with a very strong technical base: welding, metalworking, construction, manufacturing and logistics. Candidates hold documented qualifications from the ITI/NCVT or NSDC system, experience on Gulf contracts and a strong work ethic. For an employer this means a wide choice of profiles and a shorter onboarding time.

1) Needs analysis and job description, 2) initial pre-selection in India – verification of ITI/NCVT certificates and references, 3) where required, a labour market test run by the Croatian Employment Service (HZZ), or a check of whether the occupation is on the deficit-occupation list, 4) the employer's application for a single residence and work permit, filed with the competent Police Administration/Station, 5) compiling the candidate's documents, 6) arrival, address registration, registration with the Croatian Pension Insurance Institute (HZMO) and onboarding at the plant.

Candidates on site within 2–3 months. The timeline depends on the processing capacity of the competent authorities, consulates, embassies and visa systems. For larger groups the stages overlap further, so subsequent batches arrive faster.

English is an official language in India alongside Hindi and the language of instruction in technical education. The level depends on the region and education: candidates who completed ITI training and have Gulf experience usually communicate confidently on work-related matters. We verify the language level during the video interview and describe it in every candidate profile.

Most commonly these are ITI (Industrial Training Institute) diplomas confirmed by NCVT/SCVT and NSDC certificates. In welding we see qualifications compliant with ASME/AWS, and in construction and installation work – many years of practice on projects in the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. We verify qualifications with documents before presenting a candidate. Practical tests are an additional paid service, available on the employer's request.

We check the validity of the passport, diplomas and certificates (ITI/NCVT, NSDC), references from previous contracts, and the level of English. Every profile you receive includes a summary of the verified documents, and the final choice always belongs to the employer.

The budget consists of the agency's recruitment and process-handling fee, the cost of handling the candidate's documents on the India side, travel and initial relocation, and any additional paid practical tests. We present a precise calculation for a specific position and number of people in the offer before the process starts – with no hidden items.

As standard we carry out initial pre-selection – we verify documents, certificates and references, and leave the final choice to the employer. Video calls with candidates and in-person interviews are organised at the company's explicit request. Practical tests – including welding trials under ASME/AWS – are an additional paid service organised on site in India.

Yes. The salary and other employment terms must be no worse than for a comparable position in Croatia – that is a standard condition of the Croatian employment system for foreign workers.

Welding and metalworking, manufacturing and the machinery industry, construction and finishing works, electrical and plumbing installations, logistics and warehousing, and catering. These are sectors where proven craftsmanship and shift work matter.

It is standard for accommodation to be provided by the employer or the agency. We organise tickets, airport transfer, housing that meets sanitary requirements, address registration and a bank account. We also suggest simple cultural solutions: a vegetarian option in the canteen, a prayer space, time off for Diwali – this genuinely reduces turnover.

During the agreed trial period we provide a free replacement of the worker. Throughout the contract, the company and the team are supported by a single coordinator who deals with issues before they lead to turnover.
