"Roohi, for me, is deeply personal. When someone reaches out to us, they are not just looking for a job. They are carrying a dream, a family's hope, sometimes years of waiting. Honouring that — being honest with them, guiding them with care, and never taking that trust lightly — that is what Roohi stands for. And that is what it always will be."

— Shahir Backer (Sagar), Founder & CEO, Roohi Recruitment Services
Our Story

Values Carried Forward. A Company Built Around Them.

Roohi Recruitment Services was built on something that cannot be created quickly — a genuine belief in doing this work the right way. Our founder grew up in a family where overseas recruitment was not just a profession. It was a responsibility.

His father, M.K. Aboobacker, was among the early figures in Kerala's overseas recruitment industry, running Careers World Travel & Trade Links during a time when the profession was still finding its footing — building it on the trust of individual families who deserved complete honesty.

Roohi was founded to carry those values into a new chapter — with its own identity, its own standards, and its own voice. A company that holds people at the centre of everything, that is honest when honesty is difficult, and that measures itself not by how many placements it closes, but by how many people genuinely felt respected and well-guided throughout their journey.

Our Mission

Empowering Professionals, Enabling Growth

To support every candidate — from the moment of first contact to the day they land their international role — with honest information, compassionate guidance, and consistent, transparent support that makes a real difference to real people.

Our Vision

Setting the Standard for Honest Recruitment

To become one of the most trusted overseas recruitment partners in the region — known not for being the largest, but for being the most honest, the most human, and the most genuinely helpful to every person we serve.

What We Stand For

The Principles Behind Every Placement We Make

Honesty Above All

We tell candidates the truth — about timelines, vacancy availability, realistic expectations, and costs. If we do not yet have an answer, we say so honestly and we find one.

Compassion in Every Interaction

Every person who contacts us is carrying something — hope, anxiety, a family's expectations. We listen with patience and give every enquiry the full attention it deserves.

Transparency at Every Step

From the very first message to the final pre-departure briefing, we keep candidates fully informed. No vague answers. No unexpected surprises. What you see with Roohi is exactly what is there.

Ethical Recruitment, Always

We operate within the complete framework of MEA regulations. We do not mislead. We do not exploit. We do not make commitments we cannot keep.

Human Dignity First

Every candidate — regardless of profession, qualification, or the role they are applying for — is treated with the same quality of attention, care, and respect.

Accountability

We own our process completely. If there is a delay, we communicate it. Nobody who works with Roohi is left in silence, wondering what is happening with their application.

The People Behind Roohi

The people who do this work

Every person at Roohi Recruitment Services was chosen not just for their skills but for their values. The same honesty and care that defines how we treat candidates defines how this team works — with each other, and with every person who reaches out to us.
