Werklist Nepal helps workers access verified jobs abroad and helps employers hire reliable candidates.
Nepal is an established source market for international workers, with long-standing labour migration routes to the Gulf, Malaysia, and other overseas markets. Many candidates already understand contract work, shift schedules, accommodation rules, safety equipment, and basic workplace protocols before they enter a European hiring process.
For employers, this reduces onboarding risk. Werklist Nepal focuses on candidates with verified work history, realistic expectations, and the ability to complete structured international employment processes.
Nepal is one of the world's largest labour-sending countries.
Werklist is licensed to source workers from Nepal under Government License No. 1548/078/079

From construction sites to fast-paced retail and hospitality environments, Werklist supplies the reliable solutions that keep your operations moving forward.
Realistically 10 to 14 weeks from a signed demand letter to first arrivals on site. The critical-path bottleneck is the Department of Foreign Employment (DOFE) Job-Order verification, which typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. Destination embassy stamping adds another 5 to 10 working days. Pre-departure orientation (PDOS) and travel close out the timeline.
The Department of Foreign Employment is the Nepali government body that regulates outbound labour migration under the Foreign Employment Act 2064. Every legal placement passes through DOFE, which stamps the demand letter, verifies the Job Order against destination labour law, and clears each worker for emigration. DOFE oversight is a compliance layer that protects both the employer and the candidate.
Under most international labour-employment frameworks, the employer covers visa fees, the work permit, the one-way flight, and accommodation on arrival. The candidate covers passport issuance and medical examinations. Werklist Nepal documents the cost split explicitly in the demand letter so there are no surprises after deployment.
Most candidates have functional English at A2 to B1 level, enough for safe communication in production, construction, hospitality, and care environments. Candidates with previous overseas experience in the Gulf or Malaysia typically sit at the higher end. Where the role requires a specific language threshold, Werklist supports role-specific preparation before departure and during the first 90 days.
Werklist offers a replacement candidate within an agreed window of typically 30 to 60 days at no additional placement fee. We screen for job stability and motivation before employer review specifically to keep the early-attrition rate low. Our 12-month retention rate is 89%.
Yes. After we share the shortlist PDF (CV, certificates, trade-test results, experience letters), employers can run video interviews with each candidate. Some employers fly to Kathmandu for in-person casting events; others handle the full screening remotely. Job Order is signed only after the employer confirms the shortlist.
Construction (welders, scaffolders, riggers, masons), manufacturing (CNC operators, machine technicians), hospitality (kitchen and housekeeping), agriculture, logistics (forklift, warehouse, HGV drivers), and care assistance. Nepal has a large pool of trade-tested candidates with previous overseas experience in the Gulf and Malaysia.
Trade certificates from Patan, Biratnagar, and Butwal centres are recognised in most labour-import jurisdictions. For regulated trades like welding, electrical, and plumbing, destination-country re-certification may apply. Werklist coordinates the documentation chain so candidates clear local trade tests inside the standard onboarding window.
30, 60 and 90-day check-ins with both the worker and the employer, then quarterly through year one. We track retention against the original demand letter and report deviations back to the employer. Issues are surfaced early so they can be resolved before they affect productivity.
A 30-minute call to scope the role, a draft job description with wage and accommodation terms, and a signed Power of Attorney to Werklist Nepal so we can file the Job Order at DOFE on your behalf. A corridor-fit assessment lands within one business day of a brief, whether you go with us or not.
Werklist Nepal operates as a local recruitment and coordination office for candidates, employers, and partners involved in overseas hiring.
Werklist Nepal works at the source of the hiring process: finding, reviewing, and preparing candidates in Nepal for employers hiring abroad. The branch is built around local recruitment, candidate verification, document collection, interview coordination, and practical preparation before a worker enters an international employment process.
Nepal is one of South Asia's established labour-sending markets. Many Nepali workers already have experience in overseas employment, especially in construction, manufacturing, hospitality, logistics, cleaning, facility work, agriculture, and industrial support roles. This gives employers access to candidates who are often familiar with contract work, shift schedules, shared accommodation, basic safety rules, and the discipline required in foreign workplaces.
Hiring from Nepal is not only about finding available workers. It requires local sourcing, identity checks, work history review, realistic expectation setting, document readiness, communication with candidates, and coordination with the destination-side process. Werklist Nepal is designed to make that process more controlled before candidates are presented to employers.
The branch supports recruitment for blue-collar, semi-skilled, skilled, and operational roles, depending on employer demand, candidate availability, and destination-country requirements. Typical profiles may include construction workers, warehouse workers, factory workers, hospitality staff, agricultural workers, cleaners, helpers, drivers, welders, fitters, electricians, and other practical workforce categories.
Every hiring project starts with role requirements. Candidates are reviewed against the actual job: experience, availability, language level, documentation status, salary expectations, contract understanding, and readiness to work abroad. Where required, candidates can be interviewed, trade-checked, shortlisted, and prepared before the employer makes a final selection.
Werklist Nepal also supports the administrative side of overseas hiring from Nepal. This can include document collection, candidate data organization, contract coordination, medical and travel preparation, visa or work permit support, and communication between the candidate, employer, local partners, and destination-side teams.
For candidates, the process creates a clearer route into verified international work. For employers, it creates a cleaner supply channel from Nepal, with candidates reviewed before submission and fewer gaps between recruitment, documents, contracts, and departure planning.
Werklist Nepal supports companies and partners looking to hire Nepali workers, recruit from Nepal, source overseas candidates, manage foreign worker recruitment, and coordinate international employment processes from Nepal. Work is carried out in line with applicable laws, employer requirements, recruitment rules, immigration procedures, and destination-market conditions.
