Trusted Overseas Recruitment Agency in Mumbai
Manpower First is a family-run overseas manpower recruitment agency in Mumbai. Employers know us as Manpower First Mumbai: one team that sources, screens and trade-tests skilled and semi-skilled Indian workers, then manages every step on the candidate side until they arrive at your site.
Most recruitment agencies in India fill jobs inside India. We work only for overseas employers, mainly across the Gulf and Europe, so our documents, medical coordination and emigration clearance are built around international hiring. As a manpower agency in India, we supply blue-collar and white-collar workers, from a single specialist to a full project crew.
Why Hire From India?
India's nearly 15,000 Industrial Training Institutes train welders, electricians, fitters and machinists every year, and more than 35 million Indians live and work overseas, so many candidates already know Gulf and European work. Many speak working English, and you can check it yourself at interview.
Overseas Manpower Recruitment Agencies in India — What Sets Us Apart
- A family business: one team in Mumbai handles your hiring from the first message to arrival.
- Gulf and Europe first: Indian workers for employers in 15 countries, led by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman.
- Tested before you see them: every candidate is interviewed and trade-tested in India before a profile reaches you.
- Fast answers: a reply within 12 hours, and a shortlist within 5 to 7 working days for most standard roles.
- Free replacement: if a worker does not work out during the three-month probation period, we replace him or her free of charge.

Placing People First
Real deployments, start to finish. Choose a case study.
50 Construction and Support Staff — Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Banayna General Constructions LLC needed a mixed team for its Riyadh operations: steel fixers, shuttering carpenters, block masons, accountants and helpers.
Manpower First sourced experienced candidates across India and trade-tested every tradesman before the shortlist reached the client. Once the selection was made, we prepared the candidate documents, coordinated the medical examinations and completed emigration clearance, so the workers arrived ready to start.
Banayna singled out three things: the speed of delivery, the workers' performance on site and our attention to detail.
10 Industrial Machine Operators — Tel Aviv, Israel
ASPK — Advanced Solutions for Packaging needed 10 certified industrial machine operators for its packaging facility in Tel Aviv, on a tight schedule.
Manpower First sourced all 10 operators from Punjab and Haryana, two regions with strong industrial training where candidates already held machine certifications. Candidate documentation and medical coordination were run in parallel rather than one after the other.
All 10 operators were deployed to the Tel Aviv facility within 45 to 60 days of the first request, and the project was delivered on schedule.

Send your requirement by form, email or WhatsApp. Manpower First sources candidates across India, interviews and trade-tests them, and sends you a shortlist. You choose your workers. We then prepare and manage all candidate documentation, medical examinations and emigration clearance, while the visa and work permit applications are made by the employer. Our team responds to every enquiry within 12 hours.
For most standard roles, a shortlist of screened candidates is ready within 5 to 7 working days. Deployment time then depends on the destination country and on how quickly the employer's approvals are issued: usually under 15 days from the Ministry offer letter for the United Arab Emirates, under one month from the work permit application for Bahrain, 3 to 5 weeks from final selection for Saudi Arabia, and 3 to 6 months for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Manpower First prepares and manages all candidate documentation, while the visa and work permit applications are made by the employer and approved by the authorities of the destination country. On the candidate side we compile and check documents, coordinate medical examinations, complete emigration clearance once the visa is approved, and arrange travel.
If a worker leaves the job, refuses to work, or is found to be performing unsatisfactorily in a way that can be shown, Manpower First replaces the worker free of charge during the three-month probation period. The policy does not cover problems from the employer's side, such as wages not paid on time, a different job from the one the worker was recruited for, or unsuitable accommodation.
No. Manpower First works with requirements of every size, from a single specialist to a full project crew. Recent examples include one Chief Investment Specialist for an investment company in Riyadh and 50 construction and support staff for Banayna General Constructions LLC, also in Riyadh.

Yes. Employers who would otherwise approach recruitment agencies in Kuwait, recruitment agencies in Bahrain or recruitment agencies in Oman can work with Manpower First directly for the India side of hiring.
