PROCESS

How Hiring Works

See exactly how a Malta job order moves from your first brief through to a hire.

img

Tell Us What You Need

Tell us which roles you're trying to fill and by when - construction has Malta's highest job vacancy rate right now, so you're far from the only employer feeling the gap.

img

We Source & Screen

Our overseas network gets tapped, credentials get checked against what the role actually needs, and you get a shortlist worth your time - not a stack of CVs to sort through yourself.

img

You Interview & Decide

Shortlisted candidates go through you, not us - you run the interviews and make the call. We stay in the background handling scheduling and communication.

img

You Apply, We Coordinate

Once you've selected a candidate, your company completes Malta's vacancy-advertising requirement (normally via Jobsplus/EURES) before applying for their Single Permit through Identità. We coordinate paperwork, timelines, and communication with the candidate throughout - but the application itself is between you, your worker, and Identità.

A Pipeline, Not a One-Off Search

Most of our Malta clients aren't hiring once - they're back for the next crew a few months later. That means we already know your requirements the second time around, not starting the search cold.

img

You Handle the Application, You Stay in Control

GVMC recruits and screens. Your company applies for the Single Permit through Identità and stays responsible throughout - we never claim to hold or process the permit on your behalf.

img

Full Compliance, Zero Guesswork

We help you prepare for Jobsplus's labour market test and Identità's documentation requirements, so your candidates move through legitimate, auditable channels.

img

One Partnerships Contact

No call centre, no ticket queue - one person on our side who already knows your open roles and can give you a straight answer without you having to re-explain the brief.

img

Sector Experience That Matters

Construction, engineering, industrial - we know what a Malta site inspector actually checks for, not just what a job description says on paper.

WHY CHOOSE US

Why Partner With GVMC vs. Alternatives

Three ways to fill the role - here's how each stacks up.

About GVMC
img

vs. Hiring only from the local or EU market: With construction's job vacancy rate higher than any other sector in Malta right now, waiting on local supply alone often means leaving the role open. We open up a wider, pre-screened overseas pool instead.

img

vs. Other construction recruitment agencies in Malta: Most agencies here work reactively, filling one role at a time. We run a standing network across 60+ countries, so we're sourcing before you even ask.

img

vs. Sourcing overseas candidates yourself: Vetting and communicating with candidates abroad eats weeks most HR teams don't have spare - we take that off your plate so you're only involved once there's someone worth interviewing.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything recruitment partners ask before their first submission.

Does GVMC apply for the Single Permit on our behalf?

+

No. Only your company, as the employer, can apply for a Single Permit through Identità. We recruit, screen, and coordinate candidates for you - your business submits the application and remains responsible throughout.

What if we haven't advertised the role through Jobsplus yet?

+

Before most new overseas Single Permit applications, the employer must complete Malta's vacancy-advertising requirement, normally keeping the role advertised through Jobsplus/EURES for at least three weeks within the previous two months. We can point you toward what's involved, but the advertising and compliance process is best handled with your own HR or immigration adviser.

What sectors does GVMC recruit for in Malta?

+

Three pillars: construction (electricians, plumbers, steel fixers), engineering (civil engineers, technicians), and industrial skilled trades (machine operators, welders, fabricators). Construction is where the gap is widest right now, but the other two aren't far behind.

How long does the process typically take?

+

Sourcing and screening candidates usually takes a few weeks. The Single Permit application itself is allowed up to four months by law, though Identità's own figures show the average processing time runs closer to two months - your HR or immigration adviser can give a more precise estimate for your case.

Do you only work with large companies?

+

No - smaller and newer employers can hire TCNs (third-country nationals), but Jobsplus applies employer-eligibility and workforce checks. This includes existing workforce composition, redundancy history, workforce-growth limits, and other compliance factors - worth checking with your adviser if you're a newer or smaller business.

Does the candidate need to do anything before arriving in Malta?

+

Since 1 March 2026, new or still-abroad TCN applicants generally have to provide Malta's Pre-Departure Course certificate as part of the work-permit process. For non-tourism sectors such as construction, this applies to new and still-abroad applications, subject to exemptions - your HR or immigration adviser can confirm whether a specific candidate qualifies for an exemption.
