For overseas recruitment, you would need to engage with a licensed recruitment agency or obtain a license for your organization to recruit directly. Here are the steps you need to follow:
1. 📁
Understand the Legal Requirements: The first step is to understand the legal requirements for overseas recruitment in India. The Emigration Act of 1983 regulates overseas recruitment, and the Protector General of Emigrants (PGE), under the Ministry of External Affairs, is responsible for issuing recruitment licenses.
2. 📑
Apply for a Recruiting License: If you wish to recruit directly, apply for a Recruiting License from the Protector General of Emigrants (PGE). The application process involves submitting necessary documentation and paying a fee. The documents required include your company's registration certificate, PAN, Proof of Financial Standing, and an undertaking of not charging the job seeker, among others. The fee is INR 25,000 (subject to changes).
3. 🤝
Engage a Licensed Recruitment Agency: If you do not wish to recruit directly, you can engage a recruitment agency licensed by the PGE. Ensure the agency has a valid license and a good track record.
4. 🌐
Understand the Legal Requirements of the Target Country: Understand the labor laws and immigration rules of the country where you plan to recruit. This understanding will help you set the right expectations for your potential hires and avoid any legal issues.
5. 📞
Consult with Experts: You can also consult with HR professionals or legal experts specializing in overseas recruitment. They can guide you through the process and ensure that you are compliant with all legal requirements.
