Consultation
We will work through your case in one call
20-30 minutes with someone who runs these projects daily. We will tell you whether the workers exist, what timeline is realistic and what it costs - even if the answer is not what you hoped for.
Free and commits you to nothing. If your case is not a fit for us, we will say so plainly and point you elsewhere.
In short
This is a working session, not a company presentation
We do not spend the call telling you how good we are. You describe the situation; we answer four questions: are such workers available on our routes, how many weeks until they start a shift, what it will cost and what your company will have to do. If the case is impossible within your timeframe, you will hear that in the first five minutes.
What we cover
Five questions you will get answered
The order is up to you - we start with whatever matters most.
- 01
Are the workers available
We check availability for your trade across WORKIN's routes. Some trades fill quickly and in large groups; others are rare and take longer.
- 02
What timeline is realistic
We count from the contract date, factoring in the entry regime and your readiness. A practical benchmark, not a pretty number: 4-7 weeks on visa-free routes, longer with a D visa.
- 03
What it costs
We go through the cost structure across the three recipients and what changes the total in your specific case: route, headcount, salary, the need for housing.
- 04
What your company has to do
Document package, workplaces, occupational safety, an address for registration. You will see straight away what you already have and what still needs collecting.
- 05
Housing and daily life for the group
If you have no housing of your own, we discuss how accommodation, transport to shifts and meals are arranged, and what that costs separately.
Boundaries
What the call gives you and what it will not
A conversation is useful exactly as far as its limits are stated honestly.
You get
- An answer on worker availability across the routes
- A practical timeline to the first shift, with the reasons
- The cost structure and what drives it
- A list of what your company needs to prepare
- An honest verdict: is your date realistic or not
- A short written summary after the call
What it will not include
- Legal advice - that comes from a lawyer, ours or yours
- A guaranteed permit issue date: the decision belongs to a state authority
- An exact figure before the call about the site - you get a ballpark, not a proposal
- Pressure or "just checking in" calls: if it is not a fit, we close the topic
If it turns out you are better off recruiting in-house or going to another company, we will say so. A project taken against common sense costs more than a lost enquiry.
How it works
Four steps from booking to summary
It usually takes one business day from booking to the call.
- 01
You book
Leave a contact and the essence in two lines: trade, rough headcount, city. We go into detail on the call; this is just so we can prepare.
From the companyContact and the gistTypical timeframe2 minutes - 02
We agree a time
We message or call on whichever channel suits you and agree a slot. Phone, WhatsApp, Telegram - your choice.
From the companyConfirm the timeTypical timeframeup to 1 business day - 03
The call
20-30 minutes to the point. You ask, we answer concretely. If something needs checking against documents or a route, we pause and come back with an answer.
From the company20-30 minutesTypical timeframeat the agreed time - 04
Written summary
We send a short recap of what was agreed: availability, timeline, cost structure and the document list - so you have something to show management rather than retelling it from memory.
From the companyNo involvement neededTypical timeframethe same day
A calculation for a specific group and the commercial proposal are prepared separately after the call - that takes 1-2 days.
Money
Why the consultation is free
The call costs nothing and commits you to nothing. The reason is simple: WORKIN receives half of its fee only after the workers start their shifts, so taking on a project that will not fly is against our own interest. It is cheaper to spend half an hour and say honestly that the timeline is impossible or the route is wrong than to walk a company into a project that collapses. Money enters the picture later - in the commercial proposal, where all three cost parts are shown separately.
Recruitment + migration support + state fees = project budget
Each recipient issues a separate invoice. Payments are not mixed.
What forRecruitment: sourcing, candidate vetting, coordination up to the first shift
When it is paid50% after the contract · 50% after the start
What forMigration documents: translation, permit, visa, residence permit, registration. A separate legal entity with its own account
When it is paidOne payment before paperwork begins
What forState fees for processing documents. Amounts are set by law
When it is paidOn filing each document
What forHousing, transport, meals and other agreed expenses. The scope and cost are fixed separately for the specific city and group
When it is paidOn the schedule agreed in the contract
What the WORKIN recruitment fee covers
- Sourcing and vetting candidates for your profile
- Approval of every profile with the enterprise
- Coordination of the document route with the migration partner
- Arrival logistics, meeting at the border and transfer
- Preparation of the first working day and support after the start
We receive the second half only when the worker has started the shift.
The estimate depends on the country, trade, number of workers, pay and additional project conditions: housing, transport and meals.
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 the call
What happens next
Four usual continuations, depending on where you land.
It all works, we need people

Staff requestThe request triggers an availability check against a specific start date and a project calculation.
We need figures for management
Page
Commercial proposalThe proposal shows the cost structure across three recipients and the timeline. Ready 1-2 days after the call.
We need to know what to prepare
Page
Readiness checklistThe checklist walks through documents, workplaces, housing and occupational safety - the things that most often delay a project.
Questions about the company's liability

Questions and answers
What people ask about the consultation
The format in brief.
20-30 minutes. If the case is large or spans several routes, we arrange a second call - stretching the first one to an hour serves no one.
Someone who runs projects, not a salesperson with a script. That is why technical questions about trades, timelines and documents get answered on the spot rather than "let me check and call you back".
No. If the case does not fit our routes or the timeline is impossible, we will say so plainly. There will be no "just checking in" calls.
Knowing the trade, rough headcount, city and target start date is enough. No documents are needed at this stage.
Yes, and it is easier that way if the questions are about the contract and liability. Tell us in advance and we will have the draft contract ready for the call.
That is a perfectly good reason to talk. Companies often conclude afterwards that a different route suits them better - that is a result too.
You get a ballpark and the cost structure. The exact calculation comes in the commercial proposal, prepared in 1-2 days, which accounts for shifts, housing and the site's remoteness.
This page is for companies. Workers looking for a job need the candidates section - it has its own application form and its own answers.
