Bangladesh Overseas Employment and Services Limited (BOESL) has begun the selection process to recruit 112 workers for DHL, the international courier and logistics company in Malaysia, under a zero migration cost scheme. The initiative marks a significant step in facilitating overseas employment for Bangladeshi workers without imposing financial burdens.

Nine-Member Malaysian Delegation in Dhaka

A nine-member delegation from Malaysia has arrived in Bangladesh as part of the recruitment process. The delegation will remain in Dhaka from 12 to 15 November to conduct practical tests and interviews for prospective candidates. All verification and assessment activities are scheduled to be completed within this period.

Zero Migration Cost Initiative

The most notable aspect of this BOESL initiative is that selected workers will not be charged any migration cost. Typically, workers seeking overseas employment bear substantial expenses, but this project eliminates that financial burden entirely. This provides candidates with an opportunity to secure legal employment in Malaysia at minimal personal expense.

Recruitment Process

The Malaysian delegation members will assess candidates through interviews and practical skill tests during their stay in Dhaka. Those who pass these evaluations will be recommended for final employment at DHL. The subsequent process of sending the selected workers to Malaysia will be managed through BOESL.

This initiative is viewed as a positive development in the export of skilled manpower from Bangladesh. The zero-cost recruitment model is expected to open doors for financially disadvantaged but skilled workers seeking legitimate employment opportunities abroad.
