Recruitment Agency in Pakistan for Turkey
Khawaja Manpower Services is a BEOE-licensed recruitment agency in Pakistan for Turkey, supplying trade-tested, medically cleared, and fully documented Pakistani workers to employers in Istanbul, Bursa, Gaziantep, and across the country. Turkey sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, and its manufacturing, textile, and construction sectors have grown into a genuine destination for skilled and semi-skilled Pakistani labour — a market that is still emerging relative to the Gulf, but growing steadily as Turkish employers look beyond traditional source countries. Turkey’s hiring process has one structural difference worth understanding upfront: the work permit itself is applied for by the Turkish employer, not processed from the Pakistan side, which changes how the timeline works. We manage everything on the Pakistan side correctly — sourcing, trade testing, documentation, and deployment coordination — so a Turkish employer’s part of the process stays exactly as simple as it should be.
Why Turkish Employers Hire Pakistani Workers
Turkey’s economy runs on manufacturing exports — automotive parts around Bursa, textiles across Istanbul, Bursa, and Gaziantep — alongside a construction sector rebuilding and expanding cities, and an agricultural base that still needs seasonal and year-round labour. Domestic labour supply has not kept pace with this demand in several trades, and Turkish employers increasingly look to Pakistan for machine operators, welders, electricians, construction labour, and factory workers with proven technical capability and wage expectations that work for Turkish project budgets.
Turkey’s hiring system is genuinely different from the Gulf’s, and understanding that difference protects both sides from confusion. There is no GAMCA-style pre-departure medical requirement — Turkey handles medical examination and residence registration after the worker arrives, as part of the residence permit process. The work permit (Çalışma İzni) is applied for by the Turkish employer directly through Turkey’s Ministry of Labour system, not coordinated from Pakistan. What Pakistan-side agencies control — and where the real risk of delay sits — is sourcing, trade verification, document attestation, and making sure a candidate is genuinely ready the moment the employer’s permit approval comes through.
Our Turkey Recruitment Process — From Demand Letter to Deployment
The real chain, and where responsibility sits at each step. It starts with your job offer and category requirements — roles, numbers, and contract terms — which we use to begin sourcing candidates nationwide. We run trade testing at recognized centers in Rawalpindi and Lahore — welds, wiring, and trade skills proven, not assumed. You interview and approve the shortlist by video or in person. In parallel, the Turkish employer applies for the work permit (Çalışma İzni) through Turkey’s Ministry of Labour online system — this step happens on the Turkey side and is outside our control, which is why timelines can vary. Once permit approval comes through, we complete document attestation, BEOE / Protector of Emigrants registration, and OEC issuance, then arrange ticketing and pre-departure briefing, including basic orientation on what to expect during Turkey’s post-arrival residence permit and medical registration process. A realistic single-batch timeline runs six to ten weeks, though it depends significantly on how quickly the employer’s own permit application clears — we are honest about which parts of the timeline we control and which we do not.
What Turkish Employers Provide vs What We Handle
To keep planning simple, the split of responsibilities looks like this:
The employer provides:
- Job offer, category requirements, and contract terms

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to hire workers from Pakistan for Turkey?
A realistic single-batch timeline is six to ten weeks, though it depends significantly on how quickly the Turkish employer’s own work permit application is approved — a step outside our control that we are upfront about.
Who applies for the Turkish work permit — the agency or the employer?
The Turkish employer applies for the work permit (Çalışma İzni) directly through Turkey’s Ministry of Labour system. We handle everything on the Pakistan side — sourcing, trade testing, documentation, and readiness — so the worker is prepared the moment approval comes through.
Is a medical examination required before departure to Turkey?
No pre-departure GAMCA-style medical is required. Medical examination and registration happen after arrival in Turkey, as part of the residence permit process.
Do Pakistani workers pay fees to get Turkey jobs?
Not through us. Recruitment is employer-paid under BEOE rules and ethical standards.
Can you supply workers for Turkey’s textile industry?
Yes. Textile manufacturing is one of our core Turkey placements, with machine operators and production workers sourced for plants in Istanbul, Bursa, and Gaziantep.
How do I verify that a Pakistani recruitment agency is genuine?
Ask for its BEOE license number and check it with the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment, confirm Protector of Emigrants registration, and insist on written replacement terms.
