Licensed recruitment of skilled Filipino professionals for Qatari employers. Your company is the direct employer — we run selection in Manila, the Qatari permit process and the Philippine exit formalities end to end. From 1 worker.
Every Qatari project runs on the same backbone: you define the roles, headcount and start date; our own DMW-licensed agency in Manila, Prime Search, sources and trade-tests candidates; you approve the shortlist (on-site or online); and we manage the Qatari permit process under your power of attorney while the Philippine side — contract verification, medical, pre-departure orientation and the Overseas Employment Certificate — runs in parallel. The employment contract is signed and verified before departure; your new employee lands, completes local onboarding and clocks in.
The Qatari specifics below are the part that makes Qatar different from every other market we serve.
Work visa under Ministry of Labour approval. The employer obtains labour-recruitment approval (block visa quota) from the Ministry of Labour and then individual work visas. Uniquely, Qatar runs a Visa Center in Manila where biometrics, medical checks and contract signing are completed before departure. After arrival the worker receives the residence permit (Qatar ID).
Labour-market test: No labour-market test. The employer holds a Ministry of Labour recruitment approval (block visa) for the nationality and roles and hires within it. Qatar Visa Center (QVC) Manila handles biometrics, medical and contract enrolment before departure.
Shortage occupations: No list; construction, hospitality, facilities, healthcare and retail are the main sectors.
Deploying a Filipino worker abroad is regulated by the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW). MWO Doha verifies employers and contracts; QVC Manila completes pre-departure formalities. The verified contract, together with the job order approved by the DMW, allows the worker to obtain the Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) — the exit clearance without which no Filipino worker can legally leave for a job abroad. Pre-employment orientation, medical examination at a DOH-accredited medical clinic authorised to examine overseas Filipino workers and pre-departure orientation complete the sequence. Because we operate the licensed agency ourselves, this runs in parallel with the Qatari permit rather than after it.
Typical gate-to-gate time for Qatar is 4–10 weeks from signed engagement to the first arrival, driven mainly by the employer's recruitment approval and work-visa issuance, followed by the QVC Manila step and DMW clearance. Sourcing and trade testing usually take two to four weeks and are not on the critical path. We give you a written timeline for your specific role before you commit.
Sectors where Qatari employers most often hire Filipino workers through us:
Our contractual partner is the employer, and it is the employer we invoice for the service. You receive an individual offer for Qatar covering sourcing, trade testing, documentation, the permit process and arrival support — there is no price list, because volumes, roles and the Qatari route differ from project to project. Direct employment means the worker's wage is paid by you under your Qatari contract; there is no intermediary employer.
A Qatari employer briefs us on roles and headcount. Within two to four weeks we present trade-tested candidates from Manila with video assessments; the employer interviews online and approves. We file the work visa under ministry of labour approval under power of attorney while Prime Search completes the DMW documentation. The employment contracts are signed and MWO-verified before departure; on arrival the workers complete registration and local onboarding and start on the floor — with our team reachable for the first months of integration. Whether the project is one specialist or a full shift, the mechanics are identical.
The Qatar Visa Center in Manila — a one-stop step for biometrics, medical and contract signing before travel.
It depends on the company's history and the requested nationalities; we advise on the request before you file.
Qatar reformed its rules to allow job changes under conditions; contracts should reflect current law.
