Working with us

How does the Europe-India Chamber of Commerce & Industry help?

We help you understand the route, introduce you to suitable people and to licensed recruiters in India, and send you the checklists that make hiring go smoothly.

Who employs the worker?

You do. The employment contract is always between the employer and the worker.

Do candidates pay anything?

No. We do not take money from candidates, and we do not work with partners who charge candidates for jobs.

The practical side

How long does it take to hire from India?

For tech and engineering roles with a Blue Card or highly skilled permit, two to four months is typical. Regulated professions such as nursing take longer because of language and recognition.

Can we interview candidates remotely?

Yes. Most first and second rounds happen by video. Many employers also run practical tests through partners in India.

Can we hire for roles below Blue Card thresholds?

Often yes, through national work permits, quotas or shortage occupation routes. It depends on the country and the role.

Can an Indian company hire a European for a role in India?

Yes, through India's employment visa, provided the salary and role meet the conditions. See hiring Europeans in India.
