For job seekers

How the process works, from your profile to your first day

The same eight steps apply to every candidate. We explain each one in advance so there are no surprises, no hidden costs and no false promises.

  1. Review the available opportunities

    Look at the vacancies and job categories to understand what kind of work exists and what it requires.

    • Vacancies show full terms, including deductions.
    • Category pages explain roles that do not require experience.
  2. Submit your profile

    Five minutes on your phone. Experience, skills, languages, preferences. A CV is optional; we can help you prepare one.

    • Free. No commitment to any vacancy.
    • No passport scans or bank details at this stage.
  3. Initial screening

    We call or message you in Armenian to confirm details, check eligibility and discuss what is realistic for you.

    • Free.
    • We tell you honestly if we have nothing suitable right now.
  4. Review a specific vacancy

    When a verified vacancy matches, you receive its full terms in writing: salary, hours, accommodation, deductions, contract type and who pays for what.

    • You decide whether to proceed. No pressure, no deadlines invented to rush you.
  5. Interview with the employer or agency

    Usually by video call, sometimes with a practical test for skilled trades. We help you prepare and, where needed, interpret.

    • The employer or agency decides. We cannot guarantee the outcome.
  6. Formal offer and employment contract

    If selected, you receive a written job offer and the employment contract. Read it fully; we explain every clause you ask about.

    • The contract you sign is the only binding document.
    • A job offer is not a work permit and not a visa.
  7. Work authorization and visa

    The employer applies for your work permit or authorization with the destination country. Once granted, you apply for the national visa at the consulate.

    • Decided by government authorities, not by us and not by the employer.
    • Government fees, translations and medical checks are separate from recruitment; we tell you who pays what.
  8. Prepare and depart

    Travel arrangements, arrival, registration and the first days at work. We stay in contact with you and the employer after arrival.

    • You travel only with the correct visa in your passport.

How long does it take?

Honestly: months, not weeks. Screening and interviews can happen within days, but work-permit processing and consular appointments depend on government authorities and vary by country and season.

We never quote a fixed departure date. Any recruiter who promises one is either guessing or lying. In each vacancy we state the timeline the employer has experienced with previous hires.

What is free and what you may have to pay

We keep recruitment fees and your own costs strictly separate.

Applying and initial screening are free for candidates

  • Submitting your profile
  • Screening and every conversation with our team
  • Vacancy matching and interview preparation
  • Contract explanation in Armenian
  • Pre-departure guidance

Who pays for travel

  • Consular visa fee
  • Travel medical insurance required for the visa
  • Document translations and notarisation
  • Medical examinations, where required
  • Travel to the destination, unless the employer pays or reimburses it

Each vacancy states which of these the employer covers. Nobody from Armenian Workers will ever ask you to pay for a vacancy, an interview or a "guarantee".

Terms you will hear, and what they actually mean

These are not interchangeable. Knowing the difference protects you.

Job offer
A written statement from an employer that they intend to hire you on stated terms. It is not a contract and does not by itself allow you to work or enter the country.
Employment contract
The legally binding agreement between you and the employer. It sets your pay, hours, duties and conditions. Read it before signing.
Work permit / work authorization
A document issued by the destination country allowing a specific employer to employ you. The employer applies for it. Without it, work is illegal.
Visa
A permission to enter and stay in the country, placed in your passport by the consulate. A work visa is issued on the basis of the work authorization.
Residence permit
A longer-term right to stay, usually applied for after arrival. Rules differ by country.
Recruitment assistance
What we do: sourcing, screening, matching, preparation and coordination. We are not lawyers and not an immigration authority.
Immigration approval
The decision of a government authority on a permit, visa or residence application. Nobody outside that authority can guarantee it.
