In every village tea stall across Bangladesh, you hear the same story. It is a story of hope, but often, it ends in tragedy.
A young man dreams of going to Saudi Arabia or Malaysia to build a house for his parents. He sells the family’s cow, mortgages their small piece of land, and hands over lakhs of Taka to a “brother” in the neighborhood who promises him a visa.
Then, the phone calls stop. The “brother” disappears. Or worse, the young man arrives at the airport only to find his visa is fake, or he lands in a foreign country with no job and no way home.
This is the “Middleman Trap.” It is the curse of our migration sector. At Sena Kalyan Overseas Employment Services (SKOESL), we see the tears of these families every day. And we are here to tell you: There is a safer way.
What is the Middleman (Dalal) Trap?
In Bangladesh, we call them “Dalals.” They are brokers who operate in the shadows. They are not licensed agencies. They have no office, no official papers, and no accountability.
The trap works because they sell dreams, not jobs.
A middleman will tell you, “Give me 5 lakh Taka, and I will send you to Europe next month.” They don’t check if you have the skills. They don’t check if you are medically fit. They just want your money. Once they have it, you are at their mercy.
The 3 Big Lies of the Middleman:
- “No Interview Needed“: They say they can “manage” everything. This is a lie. Good employers always want to verify who they are hiring.
- “Hidden Fees“: They ask for a small amount first, then keep demanding more for “medical,” “stamping,” or “police clearance” until you are bankrupt.
- “Free Visa“: There is no such thing as a “Free Visa” where you can do whatever you want. A legal work visa is tied to a specific employer who is responsible for you.
The SKOESL Difference: An Army of Trust
This is where we are different.
Sena Kalyan Overseas Employment Services (SKOESL) is not just a recruitment agency. We are a sister concern of Sena Kalyan Sangstha (SKS) and the Bangladesh Army.
When you walk through our doors, you are not walking into a business; you are walking into an institution built on discipline, honor, and protection. Our mission is not to make a profit from your desperation; our mission is to secure your future.
How We Eliminate the Middleman
We have built a system that completely removes the need for a broker. Here is how we do it:
1. Direct Government-to-Government (G2G) & Corporate Deals
We do not buy visas from third parties. We get our demand letters directly from foreign governments (like Japan and South Korea) and top-tier international companies in the Middle East and Europe.
- The Result: There is no “cut” for a middleman. You pay exactly what the official cost is, and not a Taka more.
2. Transparent Banking
A middleman deals in cash—hand to hand, with no receipts. At SKOESL, we encourage transparency. When there is a cost (for government fees, medicals, or tickets), it is documented. You always know exactly what you are paying for.
3. Direct Sourcing
We find our candidates directly.
- Newspaper Ads: We publish vacancies in national newspapers.
- Online: We post on our official website and trusted portals.
- Data Bank: We use the government’s BMET database.
- Training Centers: We recruit directly from Technical Training Centers (TTCs).
Because we find you, you don’t need to pay someone to find us.
Why SKOESL is Your Best & Safest Choice
If you are a father planning for your son, or a young man planning for your future, ask yourself: Who do you trust?
1. We Protect You Like Family: When you go abroad through a Dalal, you are alone. If you get sick or the employer doesn’t pay, the Dalal blocks your number. When you go through SKOESL, we remain your guardian. We have strong relationships with the Bangladesh Embassies abroad. If you face injustice, the weight of Sena Kalyan Sangstha stands behind you to demand a solution.
2. We Send “Skilled Ambassadors,” Not Just Workers: A middleman will send you to do anything. We want you to build a career. That is why we focus heavily on:
- Medical Fitness: To ensure you don’t get sent back.
- Skill Testing: So you get a higher salary.
- Pre-Departure Briefing: We teach you the laws, culture, and safety rules of your new country.
3. Zero Tolerance for Bribes: Our management is led by retired officers of the Bangladesh Armed Forces. We have a zero-tolerance policy for corruption. If anyone—inside or outside our office—asks for a bribe using our name, we have a Grievance Cell ready to take immediate action.
Selling your family land to pay a broker is a gamble. You might win, but many people lose everything.
Going through SKOESL is an investment. It is legal, it is safe, and it is dignified.
We know the migration process can be confusing. That is why the brokers flourish—they take advantage of your confusion. But you don’t need them. You have us.
Come to our office. Talk to our officers. Let us look at your papers. We promise to tell you the truth—whether you are ready to go now, or if you need more training.
Don’t buy a dream from a stranger. Build a future with the trusted partners of the nation.
