Recruiting from Kathmandu, Nepal
Kathmandu is our processing centre for Nepal — licensed partner offices, government clearances and pre-departure orientation all run from here.
Employers looking to hire security guards from Kathmandu can access Nepal’s workforce through Horizon GCC, a Dubai-based recruitment and manpower consultancy established in 1997. Located in Bagmati, Kathmandu combines a service-led economy with Nepal’s overseas-employment processing infrastructure. It is our Nepal processing centre, where licensed partner offices coordinate recruitment, government clearances and pre-departure orientation, helping employers prepare selected workers for UAE work visa processing.

Hiring from Kathmandu: talent, paperwork and timelines
Local Screening for Security and Service Teams
Kathmandu’s hotels, shops and building services businesses provide relevant experience for kitchen stewards, retail staff, cleaners and FM operatives. Our recruitment also covers security guards and helpers, with screening matched to each employer’s job description. Local shortlisting can include spoken English checks, employment-history reviews and practical assessments of cleaning methods, customer interaction or incident reporting. For facilities and security employers seeking long-serving teams, we discuss shift patterns, site conditions and expectations before selection.
Nepal Departure Approvals and UAE Employment Formalities
Processing through our licensed Nepal partners includes checking passports, employment contracts and the documents required for labour approval through Nepal’s Department of Foreign Employment. Required medical checks and pre-departure orientation are coordinated before travel. On the UAE side, we coordinate with the employer on the applicable MoHRE work permit process and entry arrangements. After arrival, medical fitness screening, residence formalities and Emirates ID registration follow the relevant requirements; approvals remain subject to the responsible authorities.
Coordinating Kathmandu Departures and Dubai Crew Arrivals
Mobilisation schedules depend on selection, document readiness, Nepal labour approval, UAE permit processing and flight availability. We agree a provisional deployment plan with the employer and confirm departures only once the required approvals are in place. Crews can be organised in batches to suit accommodation capacity and site induction schedules. For Dubai arrivals, we coordinate airport reception, onward transport and employer handover, alongside arrangements for outstanding residency steps and role-specific induction before deployment to site.
