Factories, building contractors and hotel groups across Türkiye are short of skilled hands, and Pakistan has one of the largest trained blue-collar workforces in the region. This page walks a Turkish employer through the lawful hiring route, the trades that work best, realistic timelines and what Crown does on the Pakistan side.
What pushes Turkish firms towards Pakistan
Three things. Pakistani trades training (TEVTA and private institutes) turns out large numbers of welders, machine operators, masons, electricians and textile hands every year. Wages and output make the economics work for Turkish projects. And workers on properly documented contracts tend to stay for the full term, which cuts the cost of constant re-hiring.
Textile mills in Denizli, Bursa and Gaziantep and contractors working nationwide all face the same bottleneck — people. A dependable Pakistan-side partner removes it.
Where demand is strongest
The categories Turkish employers ask Crown for most often:
| Industry | Roles we fill |
|---|---|
| Textiles & apparel | Sewing machinists, weaving and bobbin operators, knitting operators, quality checkers |
| Building & infrastructure | Rebar fixers, formwork carpenters, masons, scaffolders, site labour |
| Metalwork | Structural and 6G welders, fabricators, fitters, CNC operators |
| Factory production | Machine and line operators, packers, warehouse hands |
| Hospitality & facilities | Kitchen helpers, cleaners, housekeeping, security staff |
Crown keeps screened candidate pools in each of these areas, so after a demand letter arrives we can share tested, video-interviewed profiles within days.

Send demand letter →The Turkish permit route in four steps
Foreign staff in Türkiye work under a permit that the employer sponsors through the Ministry of Labour and Social Security. In order:
- Requirement & selection — you send the demand letter and offer; Crown shortlists and you choose by video interview.
- Permit filing — you apply online to the Ministry with company papers and the worker's attested certificates.
- Visa & emigration — after approval the worker applies for the visa at the Turkish mission, while Crown completes Protectorate (BE&OE) clearance in Pakistan.
- Medical & travel — the worker passes the panel medical; Crown books travel, briefs the group and hands over on arrival.
Commercial terms and referral partners
Employers are not charged for sourcing, screening or skills testing; as the sponsor you carry the official permit and visa costs and the package in your offer. Turkish HR consultancies and agencies that introduce employers are welcome to work with us — terms are agreed in writing, with a non-circumvention clause.
What Crown brings as your Pakistan partner
Sixteen years of deployment under OEP licence 2868/RWP, an established client base in energy and industry, and a rule that nobody travels without a skills test, document check and medical. Emigration clearance, attestation, tickets and arrival are handled by one team in Islamabad, so you have a single point of contact.

Questions from Turkish employers
How long until workers reach Türkiye?
Usually six to twelve weeks from a signed demand letter, depending mainly on the Ministry's permit processing and visa appointments. We run the Pakistan paperwork in parallel to keep it short.
What does hiring through Crown cost the employer?
There is no recruitment fee. You pay the statutory permit and visa charges as sponsor, plus travel and the salary package set out in your offer.
Are candidates tested before I see them?
Yes — every worker is skills-tested, document-checked and medically examined at an approved centre, and you interview them by video before selection.
Which trades are quickest to fill?
Textile and machine operators, structural and 6G welders, masons, rebar fixers and general production staff — we hold ready pools for these.
Do we have to travel to Pakistan?
No. Interviews and skills tests are arranged remotely and verified profiles are shared with you.
Can a Turkish agency work with Crown on our behalf?
Yes. An agency can introduce you and Crown handles the deployment end to end, under written terms that include non-circumvention.

Send your requirement or partnership question and we will reply by the next working day with candidates and clear terms — no commitment needed.
