Will you contact me about every application?
We contact candidates whose experience matches a current requirement. If you are not shortlisted for a particular role, your profile may still be considered for future opportunities that suit it.
How should I prepare for an interview?
Review the role description carefully, be ready to discuss specific examples from your experience and have your qualifications and certificates to hand. For technical roles, expect questions about the equipment, systems or standards you have worked with.

International Recruitment

Our current markets are listed on our Global Reach page, together with the industries and roles we focus on in each.
Will my qualifications be recognised abroad?
Recognition depends on the profession and the destination country. Regulated roles such as nursing and engineering may require local registration, and we explain what is involved for a specific role before you commit.
What documents will I need?
Typically a valid passport, educational and professional certificates, experience letters and any licences relevant to your role. The exact list depends on the role and destination and will be confirmed during the process.
How do I know a job offer is genuine?
A genuine offer is provided in writing and names the employer, role, salary and key terms. Read our guide to checking an international job offer, and contact us directly if you are unsure about any communication claiming to be from Rahat International.
