Which trades can Ployer structure?
These are examples of roles Ployer can structure through its intake and matching workflow — not a claim about current available inventory. If you need a trade not listed, describe it and the workflow adapts.

- Plumbers — pipework, sanitary and drainage systems
- Welders — structural, pipe and fabrication work

How does employment work across the GCC?
Skilled manpower employment runs on each country's labour framework. Ployer keeps the role definition, verification and document tracking consistent while the official steps adapt to where you employ.
- UAE — employment and visa steps through MOHRE and the residency authorities
- Saudi Arabia — contract registration and labour processes via the Ministry of Human Resources channels
- Bahrain — permit workflows through the LMRA Expatriate Management System
- Qatar, Kuwait and Oman — respective labour permits and sponsorship procedures apply
Which engagement type fits your project?
Skilled trades can be engaged in different ways. Choosing the right one matters for contracts, cost and compliance.
| Engagement | Typical use | Contract | Planning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project / contract staffing | Site crews for a defined project window | Tied to project duration | Short-horizon; mobilisation speed matters |
| Fixed-term contract | Known seasonal or campaign demand | Defined months, possibly renewed | Medium-term; plan around renewal |
| Permanent employment | Core skilled teams you keep | Ongoing employment | Long-term; focus on retention and development |
Many employers mix these — a permanent core plus contract crews for peaks. Confirm the right visa and permit route for each engagement type.
What happens after you choose a candidate?
Once a tradesperson is selected, the relationship moves into deployment: contracts, certifications, onboarding, site induction and any replacement needs. Ployer tracks this as an onboarding journey and supports replacement workflows if a placement ends early.
- Offer accepted → contract signed → documents collected in the vault
- Permit and medical steps completed through official channels
- Certification expiry dates tracked before site start
- Arrival and induction → first shift → ongoing support

Common questions

Yes. Ployer supports a structured interview workflow so you can confirm hands-on experience, site fit and expectations before committing.

Certification and document statuses live in the document vault, so expiries and renewals stay visible before site start.
Ployer turns your request into structured trade requirements, then scores verified profiles against skills, certifications, experience, languages and document readiness — with human review before decisions.
