How VERO works

Overseas recruitment,
clearly managed.

Start hiring

VERO gives Maldivian employers one structured overseas recruitment process—from defining the vacancy and reviewing candidates to work-permit coordination, travel and arrival.

  1. Define the staffing demand

    We record the position, work location, salary, working hours, weekly off, benefits, preferred nationality and required staff numbers.

  2. Source and review candidates

    Approved overseas recruitment partners submit relevant profiles. Employers review candidates, conduct interviews and make the final selection.

  3. Coordinate appointment and permit

    Appointment documents are signed and shared. The employer submits the work-permit application while VERO maintains the recruitment record.

  4. Prepare travel and arrival

    Country clearance and ticket readiness are confirmed before travel. The employer arranges airport pickup, while VERO coordinates the final arrival handover.

Employer FAQ

Clear answers before
you start hiring.

Understand VERO’s licence, recruitment process, employer responsibilities and candidate-arrival coordination before submitting a staffing demand.

01

Is VERO a licensed recruitment agency in the Maldives?

Yes. VERO Recruiting Services Pvt Ltd is a licensed Category A Employment Agency in the Republic of Maldives. Our licence number is EAA-2026-0010, and our registered office is in Hulhumalé.

03

How does overseas recruitment through VERO work?

We first document the position, headcount, salary, currency, hours, weekly off, benefits, ticket responsibility and preferred experience. Approved overseas partners then source candidates, the employer interviews and selects, and VERO coordinates the appointment, permit updates, travel readiness and arrival handovers.

05

Who applies for the Maldives work permit?

The Maldivian employer is responsible for submitting the work-permit application through the applicable government system. VERO coordinates the recruitment record, shares status updates with the correct overseas partner and keeps the approved permit connected to the selected candidate.

07

How does VERO reduce candidate withdrawals?

Before permit processing, candidates should confirm the employer, position, salary, currency, hours, weekly off, benefits, location and willingness to travel. This documented confirmation reduces preventable misunderstandings, although no recruitment process can guarantee that a candidate’s circumstances will not change.

09

Can candidates apply directly to VERO?

Candidates may register their interest, but registration is not a job offer or travel guarantee. Candidate profiles are considered only against genuine employer demands, and document, experience, employment-term and travel-readiness checks still apply before any selection can proceed.

02

Does VERO charge employers a recruitment fee?

VERO does not charge Maldivian employers a recruitment coordination fee. Employers approve the staffing demand, interview candidates, make the final selection and remain responsible for their government applications and employment obligations.

04

Which countries can VERO source candidates from?

VERO works with recruitment partners across India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and the Philippines. The source country is selected according to the role, employer preference, candidate availability and current departure requirements.

06

How long does overseas recruitment take?

There is no single timeline for every vacancy. Timing depends on the role, employer response time, interview availability, government processing and the candidate’s origin-country clearance. VERO tracks each stage separately so employers can see the actual next action instead of relying on an unsupported arrival promise.

08

Who provides the joining ticket and airport pickup?

Ticket responsibility is agreed in the employer’s staffing demand and appointment terms. Once country clearance is confirmed, the agreed party arranges the ticket. The employer is responsible for confirming airport pickup and the worker’s accommodation and workplace readiness in the Maldives.

10

What happens after an employer selects a candidate?

The employer issues an appointment letter or offer matching the approved demand. VERO coordinates candidate acceptance, the employer proceeds with the work permit, the overseas partner completes required departure clearance, and travel is arranged only after readiness is confirmed. The employer then receives the worker at the airport.
