Criteria

A.R. Trading and Plumber Recruitment

A.R. Trading is a Subcontinent Exporter headquartered in Dhaka Bangladesh, primarily focused on Gulf Region Placements. Subcontinent exporters in this segment move volume, but their reliance on third-party sub-brokers introduces inconsistent plumber batch quality, documentation gaps, and unpredictable timelines — especially when batches fail medical clearance and need rapid replacement.
