Production workers
Line operators, packers and sorters for your shifts
We source people for the specific operations on your line rather than «general labourers». We check the experience, the readiness for shift work and pace, and show the profile before arrival.
Technical trades - machine and CNC operators, welders - are a separate direction with a different check.
What it is and how it works
People for your line's operations, not generic labourers
WORKIN recruits line operators, packers, sorters, labellers and quality controllers for shifts. The profile shows not "worked at a factory" but exactly what the person did with their hands, and you see it before arrival.
You describe the line operations, shift pattern and pace, and we check experience, readiness for night shifts and physical fitness. Technical trades - machinists, CNC operators, welders - are recruited as a separate stream with a different check.
The migration partner handles the document route, and WORKIN arranges arrival and housing. The visa-free route to the first shift takes 4-7 weeks, with a type D visa 8-10 weeks.

Who runs hiring
Three people are responsible for your recruitment
The enterprise has one contact under the contract, and a specific specialist stands behind every stage.

Finds and checks candidates in all countries, responsible for profiles and the replacement reserve.
Olena Lytvynenko
Head of enterprise projects
Takes the request and records selection criteria, terms and deadlines in the contract.
Nataliia Kravchuk
Head of documents
Handles permits and visas for approved candidates together with the migration partner.
Contract
What we fix in the contract before the start
Hiring runs under the contract for recruitment and migration support. The number of people, deadlines, payment terms and replacements are written in the contract and its annexes.
We send sample contracts and annexes before signing so your lawyer has time to review them.
Questions and answers
What enterprises ask about production workers
Answers to the questions that come up before sourcing starts.
Realistically 4-7 weeks for visa-free countries, 8-10 weeks for a D visa and 10-14 weeks where transit is required. Sourcing and paperwork run in parallel, so the document route sets the time.
Not always. We select people with experience of similar operations; showing your specific machine stays with the enterprise's mentor. Where the equipment is complex we add a practical trial.
Yes, and it is checked at the interview before arrival. The person has to understand the schedule before they travel, otherwise they leave after the first week.
Replacement terms are fixed in the contract and the guarantee period is at least 6 months. We keep a reserve of profiles, so a replacement does not start from scratch.
The group includes Russian or English speakers, and the shop-floor commands are learned in the first days. For larger groups a lead is appointed as the contact point for the supervisor.
From targeted sourcing to mass hiring. Group size affects not the timing but the staging of arrivals: large groups come in waves so the line can absorb them.
The enterprise within its own production: briefings, protective equipment, a safe workplace. We are responsible for the person arriving ready for the conditions of the area.
Yes, and it is the most sensible start. One area, one shift, one arrival - after the first month it is clear what works, and the next group follows a proven pattern.
