A skilled workforce is fundamental to economic growth and business competitiveness. As employers across key sectors face increasing labour shortages, Mauritius has taken a significant step forward with the introduction of a Government-to-Government (G2G) recruitment mechanism with India. Designed to facilitate ethical, transparent and efficient labour mobility, the initiative will provide businesses with streamlined access to qualified talent while safeguarding the interests of both employers and workers.

A Strategic G2G Recruitment Partnership

Mauritius is experiencing labour shortages across several strategic sectors that are essential to sustaining economic growth and business continuity. The G2G recruitment mechanism, implemented through a Memorandum of Understanding between the Economic Development Board (EDB) and India’s National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), provides employers with a reliable and structured channel to recruit qualified workers from India. More importantly, it promotes ethical recruitment by ensuring transparency, compliance with the laws of both countries and the protection of workers’ rights throughout the recruitment process.

Key Benefits for Mauritian Employers

The new platform simplifies and accelerates the recruitment process while significantly reducing costs by eliminating intermediaries and recruitment agents. Employers gain access to a large pool of skilled and pre-screened candidates identified by the NSDC according to their specific requirements. The entire process is managed digitally through a centralised platform, making recruitment more efficient, transparent and predictable while ensuring that employers recruit workers with the right skills for their operations.
