Delivering the Workers to your Doorstep

After identifying qualified workers, we draw up a shortlist. We discuss the vacancy in full with all appropriate candidates before a final shortlist is compiled. Candidates will only be forwarded to employers if they have demonstrated genuine interest in the position. Employers will then give their final decision and return to us with the list of candidates that they have selected. After this, Mercan Recruit shall commence the processing of recruitment and migration documents.

Processing of Required Documents

Since the candidates will come from foreign countries, there are many immigration and travel documents that must be processed. The application process is quite a lengthy and detailed process that requires both parties to submit documents to multiple organizations.  Mercan will support the employer and the employee in every way to facilitate the speedy processing of the application.

Housing (Optional)

Furnished, affordable housing will be a key aspect for this project. Due to the shortages in certain cities, it will be time consuming to satisfy housing needs.

We are able to provide this service, however, charges will vary depending on location and extent of services required.
