Choose a city to see what we supply there and who we work with.
The Expo 2030 site, King Salman Park, King Salman International Airport, Qiddiya, Diriyah and new stadiums, alongside the Kingdom's corporate headquarters. Employers comparing recruitment agencies in Riyadh come to us for construction trades, mechanical and electrical technicians, hospitality staff, drivers, household staff and office roles.
“We needed steel fixers, shuttering carpenters, block masons, accountants and helpers for our Riyadh operations. Manpower First delivered every worker trade-tested and experienced, and they delivered quickly. The workers performed well from the start, and their attention to detail made the whole process easy for us.”
“Manpower First provided domestic chefs and private chauffeurs for our household. They understood the standard of discretion and professionalism required at this level. An ongoing relationship we continue to value.”
“Manpower First supplied us with more than 6 certified CCTV technicians, all with strong technical knowledge and the right work ethic. We are still growing our team with them and the quality is consistent.”
“We required a senior Chief Investment Specialist, a niche white-collar role. Manpower First found us a well-qualified candidate quickly. Their ability to operate at the executive level surprised us. Highly recommended.”
Port, logistics and trading businesses, a fast-growing restaurant and hotel scene, and waterfront development. We supply restaurant waiters, commis chefs, drivers, warehouse staff and construction crews to Jeddah employers.

We placed 8 restaurant waiters and 3 Commis 1 chefs with Ukiyo's Jeddah restaurants and have continued supplying the chain since 2020. Repeat requirements are matched to the restaurants' service standard, so new staff fit the existing teams from the first shift.
Hotels, catering and facilities in Madinah and Makkah run at full capacity through the Hajj and Umrah seasons. We supply kitchen teams, stewards, housekeeping, maintenance technicians and drivers, timed to your seasonal peaks.
Dammam, Al Khobar and Jubail form the Kingdom's oil, gas and petrochemical base. Our manpower supply for the Eastern Province covers coded welders, pipe fitters, riggers, instrument technicians, safety officers and shutdown crews for plant operators and their contractors.
We also supply Yanbu and the Red Sea coast, Tabuk, Qassim, Hail, Abha, Jazan and remote project sites. The work visa, medical and Qiwa process is the same nationwide.
Most employers come to us with one of these problems. Each one changes how we plan the search.
Your work visas are approved for specific profession titles and they will not wait forever. We shortlist against the exact titles on your visas, so every visa is used for the role it was issued for.
Expo 2030 and World Cup 2034 packages, plant shutdowns and hotel openings. Firms that hire contractors in Saudi Arabia need the crews behind them, so we run bulk manpower recruitment for Saudi projects in several Indian cities at once and phase departures to your site schedule.
Good candidates are lost between offer and arrival. We stay with every worker through the skill test, medical, visa stamping and emigration clearance until they reach your site.
Restaurants, hotels and private households need like-for-like replacements without retraining from scratch. We match repeat requirements to the standard your current team already works to.
Visa quotas are smaller for companies in their first years. We size the shortlist to the visas you actually hold, through the same regular work visa process our largest clients use.
There is no minimum order. We recruit Indian workers for Saudi companies one role at a time when that is what you need, from a single engineer to a senior finance specialist.
If a worker we supplied does not work out during the three-month probation period, we replace him or her free of charge, as long as the reason lies with the worker.

Employers comparing manpower recruitment agencies in Saudi Arabia usually want three things: tested workers, speed and one accountable contact. As manpower consultants in India for Saudi Arabia, this is how we deliver them.
We have deployed Indian workers to Saudi Arabia for longer than most agencies have existed. That experience means fewer surprises and documents that are right the first time.
We keep a live database of tested candidates and run fresh searches for hard-to-find profiles, including professional manpower recruitment for engineers, accountants and managers. Our overseas recruitment services run from permanent recruiting services in Saudi Arabia for one specialist to full contract crews.
Trade tests, the Skill Verification test, GAMCA medicals, visa stamping and emigration clearance are handled by our team, so you only manage your own approvals on Qiwa.
Every Saudi employer, large or small, works with one account contact who knows the requirement from the first message to arrival.
Tell us your manpower requirement in Saudi Arabia. As a manpower services agency working only for overseas employers, our team replies within 12 hours with a plan and a shortlist timeline. No fields are mandatory.
Send your requirement by form, email or WhatsApp. Manpower First sources candidates across India, interviews and trade-tests them, and sends you a shortlist within 5 to 7 working days. You select the workers and issue the work visas on Qiwa. We then prepare all candidate documents, book the Skill Verification test where the trade needs it, coordinate the GAMCA medical, submit passports for visa stamping and complete emigration clearance before the workers fly.
For most standard roles a shortlist is ready within 5 to 7 working days. Workers generally reach your site 3 to 5 weeks after final selection, depending on how quickly your work visas are issued. For bulk requirements we issue a phased mobilisation plan with the brief.
Send the job titles, number of workers, basic salary and allowances, food and accommodation arrangements, duty hours and overtime, contract length, site location and start date. With these details we shortlist candidates who accept the offer and travel, rather than candidates who drop out at the offer stage.
Yes. For large project requirements we run selection drives in several Indian cities at the same time and phase departures to match your site schedule. We have mobilised batches of hundreds of workers for single Saudi project requirements.
No. We work with requirements of every size, from one Chief Investment Specialist for an investment company in Riyadh to 50 construction and support staff for Banayna General Constructions LLC, also in Riyadh.
Yes. We recruit from all 28 states of India: Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka in the south, Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh in the north, Bihar, Odisha and West Bengal in the east, Maharashtra and Gujarat in the west, and the north-eastern states. Every candidate is tested before you see the profile.
We supply Indian workers across the Kingdom: Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Dammam, Al Khobar, Jubail, Yanbu, Tabuk, Abha and remote project sites. The work visa, medical and Qiwa process is the same nationwide, and we plan travel around your site location.
Yes. Contractors and subcontractors in Saudi Arabia hire skilled manpower from India through Manpower First for construction, oil and gas, shutdown and facilities projects: steel fixers, masons, shuttering carpenters, coded welders, pipe fitters, electricians, riggers and supervisors. Every worker is trade-tested in India before you see the profile, and for bulk requirements we phase departures to your site schedule.
Yes. We supply private drivers, family drivers, chauffeurs, and household cooks and chefs from India to Saudi families. The family applies for the household visa on Musaned, the official platform for household worker recruitment in Saudi Arabia, and we prepare the candidate side: interviews, documents, the GAMCA medical, visa stamping and emigration clearance.
Manpower First prepares and manages all candidate documentation, while the work visa and work permit applications are made by the Saudi employer on Qiwa. On the candidate side we compile and check documents, coordinate the medical, submit passports for visa stamping, complete emigration clearance and arrange travel.
The Skill Verification Program is Saudi Arabia's trade test for skilled workers in listed trades, such as electricians, plumbers, welders and air-conditioning technicians. Workers pass a theory test and a practical assessment at an approved centre in India before the visa is stamped. We check at the brief stage whether each role needs it and book the test straight after your selection.
The GAMCA medical is the Gulf health examination every worker completes in India before travelling to Saudi Arabia, booked through the Wafid system at approved centres. Manpower First books the appointment, tracks the result and resolves any issue before visa stamping.
Nitaqat is Saudi Arabia's Saudization programme. It rates each company on the share of Saudi nationals in its workforce, and that rating affects whether new work visas can be issued. Check your current band and work visa quota on Qiwa before sending a brief, and we will plan the hiring around them.
Yes. Small and newer Saudi businesses hire from India through the same regular work visa process as large employers. Visa quotas are smaller for companies in their first years, so we size the shortlist to the visas you hold, whether that is two workers or two hundred.
Wages for Indian workers in Saudi Arabia are set by the employment contract and must be paid monthly through the Wage Protection System. They vary by trade, experience and location, so we brief every employer on current market rates for each role before offer letters are drafted.
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.
Yes. Manpower First is a Government of India licensed recruiting agent based in Mumbai. It is a family business that has supplied Indian workers to Saudi employers since 1987.
Yes. Manpower First supplies Indian workers to employers in 15 countries: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman in the Gulf; Germany, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Russia in Europe; and Israel, Japan and Mauritius.

Manpower First supplies Saudi employers from Mumbai, and every Saudi employer works with one account contact from the first message to arrival.
