Why employers are looking beyond Ukraine
For years Ukrainian workers filled most foreign-labour gaps in Polish logistics and production. Since 2022 that supply has become less predictable: many men cannot leave Ukraine, others have moved further west, and turnover between agencies has risen.
Employers who depend on one source country now treat it as a supply risk. Adding a second source from Asia spreads that risk.
What is different about workers from Asia
The main differences are paperwork, travel and the first weeks on site, not the work itself.
- A work permit and a national D visa are needed for every worker
- Travel is longer, so arrivals are planned in batches
- Language on site is usually basic English rather than Polish or Russian
- Workers come for longer assignments and rarely switch agencies mid-contract
- Housing and transport must be ready on arrival day
Why Pakistan
Pakistan has a large pool of warehouse, factory and helper workers, many with experience in Gulf distribution centres, Türkiye and Europe. Basic English is common, workers are used to shift work and targets, and the country has a licensed overseas employment system with emigration clearance for every departure.
How to do it without the paperwork
With our on-demand model you only place the order and assign tasks. We handle selection and testing in Pakistan, the work permit, visa, flights, accommodation, payroll, ZUS and allowances, and we replace workers who do not fit.
A practical approach
Start with a pilot group in one shift or one zone, measure productivity for a month, then scale. Keep a mixed workforce if you already have Ukrainian or Polish staff; mixed teams work well with clear supervisors and visual instructions.
You assign the task. We handle everything else. Order Pakistani warehouse and general workers on demand: see how it works or send your order.
