Who you are dealing with
Nepal has more than a thousand licensed recruitment agencies, and from the outside they are difficult to tell apart. These are the three things you can check about this one before you send anything.
Our workforce categories
Professional, skilled, semi-skilled, unskilled and security. The grading follows the Department of Foreign Employment’s own classification, so the category you ask for is the category that ends up on the labour permit.
Engineers · IT · Medical · Architecture
Degree and licence holders: civil, mechanical and electrical engineers, IT and network specialists, nurses and paramedical staff, architects, quantity surveyors and accountants. Qualifications are verified before shortlisting, and equivalence requirements differ by destination, so tell us the country first.
Inquire now
Welders · Electricians · HVAC · Heavy drivers
Certificated trades that sit a practical test before you see them: 6G and 3G welders, electricians, HVAC and refrigeration technicians, instrument technicians, machinists and heavy vehicle drivers. Tested at a government approved skill test centre, with results sent alongside the shortlist.
Inquire now
Masons · Carpenters · Painters · Fitters
The backbone of most site demands: masons, shuttering carpenters, steel fixers, painters, pipe fitters, riggers, scaffolders and light vehicle drivers. Experience is checked against previous employers where they can be reached, and trade tested on request.
Inquire now
Helpers · Cleaners · Loaders · Packers
General labour for construction, facility management, warehousing and agriculture: site helpers, cleaners and janitors, loaders, warehouse pickers, packers and farm hands. Our deepest and fastest pool, and the category where batch mobilisation is routine.
Inquire now
Guards · Surveillance · Safety officers
Security guards, control room and surveillance operators, access control staff and site safety officers. Height, fitness and language requirements vary sharply by destination, and several markets require a local licence the employer sponsors, so confirm the standard with us before the demand is drafted.

If an agency offers you any of these, it is selling something it cannot deliver.

Why employers choose NIOPL
Worker care
This is on the site for two reasons. It is what we promise the worker, and it is the answer to the question a supply chain audit is going to ask you about your recruitment partner.

Read the full message and meet the officeBefore you write to us
A demand letter, employment contract, power of attorney and recruitment agreement on your letterhead, signed and sealed, plus your company profile or trade licence. Send the drafts first. We check the wage line against the statutory minimum before you seal anything, which saves reissuing the whole set later.
Roughly eight to fourteen weeks from an attested demand to arrival for Gulf destinations, assuming a complete file and a trade we hold depth in. European destinations run longer, usually four to seven months, because the work permit is issued in country before a visa appointment can even be booked. These are ranges rather than guarantees, and the assumptions behind each stage are set out on the process page.
No, and neither can any other private agency. EPS is a government to government programme processed only by the EPS Korea Section of the Department of Foreign Employment.
The employer pays the recruitment service fee, the visa and, under the free visa free ticket provision, the air ticket. The worker pays for their passport, medical, statutory permit charges and no more than the service ceiling set by the Department, with a receipt for each. There is a full breakdown on the process page.
Yes, and we would prefer you did. Interview panels are hosted at the Sinamangal office, or we schedule video rounds and send you shortlists with trade test results beforehand.
Send the draft before you seal it. We check the wage line against the statutory minimum first, which is the cheapest hour you will spend on this file.
