BCM Group is a Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) approved agency (License No. MUMBAI/PARTNERSHIP/5493853/2021) with over 15 years of experience. We specialize in blue-collar recruitment for Europe, having successfully deployed 15,000+ workers to countries like Romania, Croatia, and Latvia. We have our own trade test centers to verify skills before deployment.

Yes, unlike many agencies that only operate from India, BCM Group has legal entities and support systems in countries like Latvia and Croatia. This allows us to offer seamless “Employee Leasing” services where we act as the legal employer, reducing your administrative burden.

We specialize in Construction (masons, shuttering carpenters, steel fixers), Manufacturing (CNC operators, welders, fitters), Logistics (truck drivers, warehouse helpers), and Hospitality (chefs, housekeeping).

Under the Client Payroll model, you are the legal employer, and we act purely as the recruiter; you handle their taxes and social security in your country. Under the Leasing (EOR) model, BCM Group (or our local partner) acts as the legal employer. We handle the payroll, taxes, and legal compliance, while the workers work at your site under your supervision.

We are. In the Leasing model, BCM Group’s local entity handles all statutory deductions, social security contributions, and tax filings in accordance with local laws (e.g., Romanian or Croatian labor laws). You receive a single monthly invoice covering the salary and service fee.

The Client Payroll model is often slightly faster for the visa application if you already have a pre-approved work permit quota. However, the Leasing model is faster for onboarding because we handle the employment contracts and local registration, saving your HR team weeks of administrative work.

BCM Group maintains a proprietary database of over 50,000+ pre-screened blue-collar profiles across India. We don’t just wait for a client’s order; we actively source through our regional offices and specialized training centers. For high-demand roles like welders and construction workers, we usually have a “ready-to-process” pool. This allows us to send you a shortlist of CVs and trade-test videos within 48 to 72 hours of receiving your job description.

You supervise their daily work, but BCM Group manages the HR aspect. If a worker violates safety rules or underperforms, you notify us, and we handle the disciplinary action or termination process according to local labor laws, shielding you from legal complications.

We do not rely on CVs alone. We conduct rigorous Trade Tests at our technical centers in India. For welders, we test on specific positions (MIG/TIG/Arc). We can share video recordings of the candidates performing these tests so you can approve their skills personally before we start visa processing.

The process generally takes 2 to 4 months, depending on the country. Romania: 6-8 months (Work Permit + Long Stay Visa). Croatia: ~2-3 months (Work Permit + Visa). Latvia: ~2-3 months. We keep you updated weekly on the status of every candidate.

We select candidates with “Functional English”—they can understand instructions and basic safety protocols. For specialized roles (like hospitality), we filter for higher fluency. We also provide a pre-departure orientation to teach them basic local phrases and cultural norms of your country.

We offer a Free Replacement Guarantee for a specific period (usually the first 3 months). If a worker is technically incompetent or medically unfit, we will recruit and deploy a replacement at no additional recruitment cost to you.

This is negotiable based on the contract. Typically, the client provides the work permit and visa costs as an investment in the worker. Flight tickets can be paid by the client or the candidate, depending on the salary package offered. We recommend clients cover the flight to attract the best talent.

As per our standard policy, the minimum contract is 2 years. This ensures stability for your operations and justifies the time and cost invested in the visa and relocation process.

Yes, providing accommodation is the industry standard for importing foreign workers in Europe. It ensures workers are stable and punctual. Food is optional; often, clients provide a kitchen facility and a food allowance instead of cooked meals.

You cannot pay Indian wages; you must strictly follow the Minimum Wage laws of your country (e.g., Romania, Latvia, Croatia) to obtain the Work Permits. However, Indian workers are highly motivated by these statutory minimum wages because of the currency value difference. This means you can hire skilled, loyal staff at your country’s base minimum salary without needing to pay the high premiums often demanded by local European staff.

Absolutely. Romania, Croatia, and Latvia have specific “Third-Country National” work permit quotas due to local labor shortages. We strictly follow all immigration protocols, ensuring every worker enters on a valid D-type employment visa and obtains a Temporary Residence Card (TRC) upon arrival.

We need a Demand Letter (stating the number of workers and job roles), a Power of Attorney (authorizing us to recruit for you), and a Sample Employment Contract. We will provide you with the exact templates compliant with the Indian Embassy’s requirements.

Every worker undergoes a strict medical check-up (GAMCA or equivalent standard) in India before visa application to ensure they are free from contagious diseases (TB, HIV, Hep B) and physically fit for hard labor.

Unskilled workers in India often hold “ECR” (Emigration Check Required) passports. As a registered agency, BCM Group handles the “Emigration Clearance” from the Indian government, ensuring the worker is legally allowed to travel for employment. You don’t need to worry about this; we handle it internally.

Indian workers are resilient, but the cold is new to them. We advise clients to ensure accommodations have proper heating and to provide appropriate winter workwear (jackets, gloves). We also prepare them mentally for the climate during our orientation.

Yes, Indian workers are generally very hardworking and eager to earn overtime to support their families back home. As long as the overtime is paid according to your country’s labor laws, they are usually very willing to work extra hours.

Under the Payroll model, they are covered by your company’s state health insurance. Under the Leasing model, we ensure they are covered. For work-related injuries, they are entitled to standard medical care and compensation as per local law.

While we specialize in bulk recruitment (20-50+ workers), we can assist with smaller numbers for specialized roles (like CNC operators). However, for general blue-collar roles, a batch of at least 5-10 is more cost-effective for you due to the logistics involved.
