Migrant Worker Recruitment Service for Employers

You advertised and nobody came, or people came and their papers were not in order. Exworker sources migrant workers for employers, and sets the paperwork on a lawful path from day one — rather than delivering people and leaving the employer to fix the documents afterwards.

We work on migrant worker paperwork every day, so we can see from the start which route the person we find will have to take — already in Thailand and changing employer, or better brought in under MOU, which is a different cost and a different timeline.

Which case is yours

You need people quickly Taking on workers already in Thailand

Faster, because the country-of-origin steps are not involved, but each person's document status has to be checked thoroughly before they are taken on.

You need numbers Importing under MOU

It can be planned in advance, the people match the specification better, and the contract runs longer — see the MOU import service

You already have someone They just need moving from a previous employer

That is not recruitment but an employer change — see the employer change service

What we do

  1. Take the brief and test whether it is realistic Type of work, number of people, location, accommodation and terms of employment — then tell you plainly how findable that brief is in the current market.
  2. Choose the route that fits the brief Workers already in Thailand, or new arrivals under MOU — with the costs and timelines set side by side before you decide.
  3. Source and screen Checking that each applicant's documents match their actual status, not merely whether they hold a card.
  4. Hand over into the paperwork The employment contract, the entry notification within the deadline, and the work permit work that follows, all in the same team — no changing partners midway.

Three legal points to know before taking anyone on

No money may be taken from the workerA licensed importer of foreign workers may charge only the employer, not more than 25% of the first month's wages, reducing with the number of people — and may not charge the worker. Breaching Section 42 carries imprisonment of up to 1 year and a fine of twice the excess amount, with an order to return the money.
Deductions from the employee are limitedAn employer importing workers directly may not take money from them, except for passport, health check and work permit costs paid in advance, and may deduct not more than 10% of what the worker is entitled to receive each month (Section 49).
The employment contract must be in writingThe employer must make the contract in writing, keep it at the place of business and give a copy to the employee. Failing to produce it when an officer asks carries a fine of up to 5,000 baht (Section 46 paragraph three and Section 113 paragraph three).
Finding someone is not the end — notify within 15 days Taking a foreign national into employment must be notified to the registrar within 15 days from the date of hiring under Section 13, with a fine of up to 20,000 baht under Section 103 for failing to do so — we file it as part of the same package, see the entry and exit notification service

What we do not promise

We do not quote a number of days to find people, and we do not guarantee they will stay for the whole contract The labour market moves with the season, the location, the wage and the accommodation on offer. Anyone who commits to a fixed number before seeing the brief is promising something they do not control. What we can promise is to tell you plainly from day one how hard your brief is, and what would have to change to make it findable.

Why employers have us do the sourcing

  • We check applicants' documents with the eye of people who handle that paperwork daily, rather than just sending candidates over
  • We can say from the start which route the person will take and what costs come with it
  • It continues into the paperwork within the same team, so you are not looking for a new partner when time is already tight
  • We flag the legal duties that come with taking someone on — the entry notification, the written contract, and the employment quota in certain types of work
  • If your brief really belongs on the MOU route, we say so, even though that is bigger and slower work

Frequently asked questions

How is the fee charged?

The figure in the price box above is our sourcing fee. The paperwork that follows — a work permit, or an MOU import — is a separate item, because not every case needs the whole set.

Do you also charge the worker?

No. The law prohibits taking money from the worker; the fee is charged to the employer only. If anyone tells you it can be collected from the worker, that is a warning sign.

How many days will it take to find someone?

We do not commit to a figure, because it depends on the type of work, the location, the wage and the accommodation. What we can do is assess it with you from day one and say what would make it faster.

What is the difference between hiring people already in Thailand and importing under MOU?

Hiring locally is faster but each person's document status has to be checked thoroughly. MOU takes longer but can be planned ahead and the contract runs longer. We set out both the costs and the timelines before you decide.

How many workers can we employ — is there a quota?

Certain types of work have an employment ratio set against the employer's income tax, for example shop-front sales work, while general labour has no prescribed ratio. We check how many more your business can take on.

What has to be done immediately after taking someone on?

Make the employment contract in writing, keep it at the place of business and give the employee a copy, then notify the registrar within 15 days from the date of hiring. Both are legal duties carrying fines, not internal paperwork.
