How hiring works
From job post to first day on site, in four stages
A structured, auditable supply chain — not a recruitment agency black box. You see every candidate, every stage and every document in one dashboard.
01Post your project — free
TodayDescribe the role, required trade certifications, licences, project timeline and whether housing is provided. No subscription, no card, no posting limit. Your vacancy is live on the platform and across our programmatic corridor pages within minutes.
02Receive vetted candidates
Within daysOur recruitment teams source pre-screened candidates from countries across Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and beyond to match your posting. Every profile shows biometric verification status, trade certificates, years of experience and references — verified before you ever see them.
03Interview and manage your pipeline
1–3 weeksShortlist, interview by video and move candidates through a visual pipeline: Vetted → Shortlisted → Interview → Visa Approved → Flight Booked. One dashboard replaces the email chains, spreadsheets and agency phone calls.
04Visa, arrival, first day
10–30 weeks totalYou sponsor the legal work-authorisation pathway required by the destination country — we manage the file with the candidate: police clearance where required, medical report, legalisation, translation and filing support. We coordinate flights and arrival, and most employers arrange housing. Your one-time fee of 8% of the worker’s annual salary is billed across three milestones — 25% on hiring, 25% after the trial month and 50% after 3 months.
Candidate vetting
Every profile you see has already passed four checks
Cross-border hiring fails when the CV and the person don't match. We verify identity, documents, safety readiness and sourcing ethics before a candidate ever reaches your shortlist.
Biometric identity verification
Passports are reviewed for authenticity and matched to a biometric identity check. The person you interview is the person who arrives on site.
Document & reference checks
Trade certificates, qualifications and prior employment references are independently verified by our in-country teams before a profile is presented.
Trade skills assessment
Each candidate’s trade competencies, licences and experience are assessed and structured into their profile, so you can match the right skills to your project.
ILO-compliant sourcing
Every candidate is recruited under ILO fair-recruitment principles: informed consent, transparent contracts, no document retention, no coercion.

FAQ
Employer questions, answered
How much does it cost to hire through WorkersFromAsia?
Posting jobs is free and unlimited — no subscription, no upfront cost. You pay a one-time success fee of 8% of the worker’s annual salary, billed across three milestones: 25% on hiring, 25% after the one-month trial and 50% after three months of work. If no one is placed, you pay nothing.
How are candidates vetted before I see them?
Every presented profile passes multiple checks: biometric identity verification against the passport, independent verification of trade certificates and references by our in-country teams, a structured trade skills assessment, and ILO-compliant sourcing standards. Verification status is visible on every profile.
How long does it take to get a worker on site?
A typical placement takes 10 to 30 weeks from posting to first day. Matching and interviews usually take one to three weeks; the rest is visa processing, which depends on the destination country’s authorities. You track every stage live in your pipeline dashboard.
Who handles the work visa or work permit?
As the employer you sponsor the legal work-authorisation pathway required by the destination country. Our team manages the candidate’s file with you: police clearance where required, medical report coordination, document legalisation, translation and filing support.
Which trades and source countries are available?
More than 25 skilled trades: welders, electricians, pipe fitters, plumbers, CNC operators, scaffolders, crane operators, HVAC technicians, carpenters, construction and agricultural workers, truck drivers, nurses and care workers. Candidates can register from any country in the world — including across Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.
Is this compliant with local labour and immigration law?
Yes. Placements are structured around official destination-specific work-authorisation pathways and follow ILO fair-recruitment principles. EU posted-worker rules, Gulf work-permit systems, Russian work authorisation, US sponsorship and Australian visa pathways are handled according to the relevant market. Candidate data is handled under GDPR with data minimisation.
What happens if a candidate declines or doesn’t arrive?
You owe nothing. The success fee is tied to a confirmed first day of employment, so the risk of a hire that doesn’t materialise stays with us, not with you. Your pipeline keeps alternative shortlisted candidates warm so you can move quickly.
Can I manage workers I already employ on the platform?
Yes. The Private Employer Dashboard lets you add existing (off-platform) workers alongside platform hires: a central document vault, automatic expiry alerts for permits and safety certificates, and compliance-ready exports. Pipeline tracking for platform hires is free; Starter and Pro tiers add capacity.

Worker stories
Real Workers. Real Jobs Worldwide.
“We hired 14 welders from Vietnam for our Bucharest plant. The process was transparent from day one — documents were clean, visa timelines were met, and workers arrived ready to start. We've already posted three more roles.”
“Posted three CNC machinist roles on a Friday afternoon. By Monday we had six shortlisted profiles with verified certifications. We only paid when the first worker signed their contract. Exactly the model we needed.”
“Finding scaffolders with IPAF certificates used to take months. WorkersFromAsia connected us with TESDA-certified candidates from the Philippines in two weeks. The compliance checklist gave us full peace of mind for the Belgian labour inspection.”
“We've placed workers from India and Vietnam across our three French sites. The Guaranteed Arrival Program gave our finance team the assurance they needed — if a worker doesn't show, we're not left exposed. A genuinely different offering.”
“The WKA compliance documents were pre-checked before any worker set foot on our site. That saved us from a potential €90,000 fine. Worth every cent of the placement fee.”
