International workforce for enterprises

International workforce for enterprises - from sourcing to the first shift

Workin organises sourcing, candidate vetting, the document route, arrival and agreed support after the start of work. The employer sees every stage, timeline and payment.

A preliminary request does not commit you to a contract.

What the employer gets

The employer gets people ready to start their shift

01
Vetted candidates
A profile built for your site: trade, experience, languages. Checks happen before the offer, not after arrival.
02
An organised document route
Work permit, visa, residence permit and registration are handled by the migration partner, a separate legal entity. Every state fee is shown separately.
03
A prepared first day
Border meeting, transfer, accommodation and the first shift follow an agreed plan, not chance.

What the employer does

Four steps out of seventeen: the request, the contract and two payments. Workin and the migration partner handle the rest. The employer's own legal duties after the worker starts - housing, meals, occupational safety - stay with the company, and we set them out in the matrix below.

Documents and the legal route

Every worker goes through a dedicated document route

The paperwork depends on citizenship, entry regime, occupation and the period of work. Workin coordinates the process with the migration partner, while decisions on the permit, visa and residence permit are made by the authorised state bodies.

Check the route for your project

01
Work permit
The permit is obtained by the employer at the relevant regional employment centre. The timeline and state fee depend on the requested period of work.
02
Long-term visa
For citizens of visa countries, a long-term visa package is prepared after the permit is issued. Whether a visa is needed and where to apply is checked for the specific citizenship.
03
Temporary residence permit
After entry, the worker applies for a temporary residence permit based on employment. The decision is made by the State Migration Service.
04
Address and migration registration
Once the documents are issued, the residence address, registration steps and further control of document deadlines are agreed.
05
Renewal and extension
Document deadlines are monitored in advance. Residence permit exchange and permit extension are separate procedures subject to legal grounds.

Division of responsibility

Employer: Employment grounds, contract, payments and information about the site
Migration partner: Legal preparation and document support within the contract
State bodies: Review of documents and decision-making

Money

Three recipients. Three invoices. Nothing hidden

The market quotes a single figure. We split it into three payments, because these are three different recipients - and we earn nothing on state fees.

Workin

Recruitment: sourcing, candidate vetting, coordination up to the first shift

50% after the contract · 50% after the start

Migration Support Office

Migration documents: translation, permit, visa, residence permit, registration. A separate legal entity with its own account

One payment before paperwork begins

The state

State fees for processing documents. Amounts are set by law

On filing each document

The estimate depends on the country, the trade, the salary and whether an address, housing and meals are needed.

Line-by-line amounts will be published once the current price list is confirmed and state fees are re-checked against official sources - with the date of validity next to them.

After arrival

Daily life decides whether the person stays

A worker without the language and without knowing the city cannot sort out renting, local transport and shops alone. That is why daily life is part of the process, not a nice-to-have.

Housing
Search, rent and move-in are organised by Workin and paid by the employer.
Transport
Transport to the site and back, matched to the shift schedule.
Meals
Catering or compensation, taking habits and dietary limits into account.

What support is available depends on the project and the city. We confirm the specifics for your site at the estimate stage.

Guarantees

Commitments fixed by contract

Each guarantee is published exactly as it is worded in the recruitment contract.

Worker replacement

Conditions and period - per the contract

Exact wording appears here once the standard contract is signed. Until then we publish no promises - the same principle as with prices.

Cases

What this looks like in a real project

Volume: 45 operators
Country: Uzbekistan
Timeline: 6 weeks

Food manufacturing · Kharkiv

A new packing line stood idle for two months: the local market produced no people even at a raised rate.

Three shifts, a contractual start date with the client, and zero prior experience with foreign staff.

Candidate profile built for the line, sourcing and vetting, permits and arrival in groups, accommodation near the site.

The line started on time. Three months later the company ordered another group.

Packaging manufacturing · Rivne

28 operators · 9 weeks

Technical operators from India for flexographic machines: selection by experience, D visa, start in two groups.

Logistics · Lviv

a picking crew · 5 weeks

E-commerce warehouse: visa-free route, on site before the peak season.

Company names are withheld until clients give written consent. The industry, city, volume and timelines are real.
