The Overseas Recruitment Agent License (ORRA License) is a certification mandated by the Indian government for any agency aiming to place candidates in foreign employment. This license upholds ethical and transparent recruitment practices, safeguarding both the agency's integrity and the candidates' welfare. For agencies seeking to partner with international employers, obtaining this license is essential for legal operations, credibility, and sustainable growth in global markets.
The Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, regulates the recruitment of Indian workers for overseas employment. The RA License is a mandatory requirement for any recruitment agency or entity involved in sourcing, selecting, and placing Indian workers with foreign employers. This license ensures that recruitment practices are transparent, ethical, and in compliance with the Emigration Act, 1983.
RA License Registration is mandatory for any recruitment agency or entity involved in placing Indian workers in overseas employment.
