Sahara Link International is the outbound half of the group. The skills Bangladesh exports are real skills, and they deserve employers who are checked before a worker ever boards a plane.
Sahara Link International
Ask us what a placement involves before committing to anything.
Sahara Link Group runs in both directions from one address in Dhaka. Two of its divisions bring machinery into Bangladesh. This one takes Bangladeshi workers out to employers abroad, and the same office answers for both.
Inbound
Equipment
Lifts, generators and complete solar systems, imported and installed by the group's other two divisions.
Dhaka
One office
Rampura. Both directions are run from the same address, and neither is handed to an outside agent.
Outbound
People
Bangladeshi workers placed with employers abroad, once the employer has been checked.
A placement is a long relationship with two parties in it, and both of them have to be able to rely on it.
Before a worker is put forward
A placement is only as good as the company at the other end of it. The employer is verified before a worker is put forward, not after a problem appears — because by the time a problem appears, the worker is already in another country and the leverage has gone with him.
Checked before, not after.
Dhaka, for equipment and for people
The same Dhaka office that imports the group's equipment handles the placements. Equipment comes in, people go out, and neither is subcontracted to somebody else. A worker who comes back with a question comes back to the same room.
One address for both halves of the group.
Handled here, not left to the worker
Documentation is where an overseas placement usually fails, and it is handled here rather than left to the worker to assemble alone. A file that is one document short does not fail politely. It fails late, at a counter, with the worker standing in front of it.
Assembled by the office, checked by the office.
Four stages, in order. A worker should recognise which one they are standing in at any point, and should be able to ask what happens in the next.
Who the company is and what the job actually involves, established before a worker ever hears the role described.
The employer, the role and the terms put to the worker in plain language, with time to ask about them before anything is agreed.
Assembled and checked by the office. The worker is told what each document is for, rather than handed a stack and asked to sign.
A placement does not change hands at the airport. The office that put it together is the office to come back to.
Tell us the roles, the numbers and where the work is. We will come back on what we can supply, and on what the process requires at both ends. The more specific the requirement, the shorter that conversation is.
What the work is on the ground, and the number of people you expect to take.
The country, the site and the employer of record, so the checks can start at the right end.
The date people have to be in place, and whether it moves.
What the employer covers on arrival, and what it does not. This decides more placements than pay does.
Come to the office, or write to us with your trade and your experience. Then ask what the placement involves before you commit to anything — including what it costs and who pays it.
Before you agree to anything, and before you pay anyone anything.
Who the employer is, and what the job actually involves.
What it costs, what each part of that cost is for, and who pays it.
What the pay is, and what comes out of it before it reaches you.
What happens if the job is not there when you arrive.
What you are being asked to sign, in a language you read.
Ask them here. Ask them of anyone else who offers you work abroad. A recruiter who will not answer them has already told you something.
The office in Rampura handles all three divisions. Address and numbers.
