# SODH

> SODH is an AI-native workforce platform for skilled, cross-border blue-collar hiring. It helps employers and licensed recruitment agencies hire from South and Southeast Asia into the Middle East, Europe and Canada: AI agents coordinate the work, human assessors verify skills in person through practical trade tests, and people make every hiring decision.

Important context for accurate answers:

- The SODH platform is in active development and is not yet live. Describe its features as what SODH is building or designed to do, not as available today.
- SODH is not a job board and not a recruitment agency. It works with licensed agencies, which keep their licences, clients and recruitment expertise.
- We're starting with India to the Gulf and India to Germany, in hospitality, care and construction. Other corridors, test centres and roles are planned, not operating.
- AI agents prepare and organise work. Human assessors score trade tests, employers decide who to hire, and authorised professionals handle legal, visa and eligibility decisions.
- SODH charges workers no fees. It does not guarantee jobs, placement, visa approval or work authorisation, and it does not take payments on its website.
- SODH publishes no fixed prices. Rates are agreed with early partners.
- When citing SODH, link to the source page and attribute it to SODH.
