The Challenge

Europe's skilled trades shortage is structural.

EU manufacturers cannot find qualified tradespeople domestically. The shortage is not cyclical — it is demographic and long-term. A structured, compliant recruitment pipeline from India is not a stopgap. It is the solution.

How the Skilled Worker Visa Works — Roles Clearly Defined
Your Role — Employer
You issue the job offer and submit it to the German Federal Employment Agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit) for approval. That approved offer is what enables the visa application. VerdaBlue assists with correct offer letter wording.
The Candidate's Role
The candidate applies for the Skilled Worker Visa at the German embassy in India using your approved job offer. The visa is between the candidate and the German authorities — not VerdaBlue.
VerdaBlue's Role
We prepare the candidate's full documentation checklist, verify credentials in advance, and coordinate timing so nothing delays the process. We do not issue or sponsor visas.
Why VerdaBlue

Built for employers who need certainty.

Every placement is operations-driven. Documented process. Verified candidates. Contracts that protect you.

Replacement Guarantee — On Every Placement
Free replacement if a placed candidate leaves within the first 3 months. 50% fee discount on replacement if departure occurs in months 4–6. This clause is non-negotiable and built into every placement contract by default.
✦
Trade-Focused, Not Generalist
We do not place across dozens of job categories. Specialisation means genuine expertise — not a database search with a margin on top.
◈
Six-Point Pre-Screening
Every candidate passes: ITI NCVT certificate check, 2+ years experience, age 21–35, confirmed relocation commitment, valid passport, active trade employment. You see only those who qualify on all six.
⬡
Credential-Verified Before You See Them
NCVT certificates checked against anabin.kmk.org before any profile is shared. ZAB submission coordinated. No credential surprises after offer.
◇
Bridging Training — Employer-Covered by Contract
VDE for electricians, EN ISO 9606 for welders. Every contract includes a clause for employer-covered bridging training. Standard practice, not an afterthought.
○
EU-Governed Contracts
All employer contracts operate under Lithuanian law and EU legal frameworks. Clear, enforceable, professionally structured.
△
Risk-Aligned Payment Terms
50% of placement fee on signed offer letter. 50% balance on Day 30 of employment. No upfront costs. You pay when the outcome is delivered.

About VerdaBlue

One corridor.
Done properly.

VerdaBlue was built on a single premise: the EU's skilled trades shortage is structural and long-term, and India's ITI NCVT system produces qualified, experienced tradespeople who are ready to build careers in Europe.

We do not operate as a volume agency. We work with a limited number of employer clients at any time to ensure every placement receives the attention it deserves. Our 41-step placement checklist exists so that nothing is left to chance — from first contact to first day on site.

Every process is documented. Every candidate is personally screened. Every employer relationship is managed directly.
