The Embassies and High Commissions are offices of countries which monitor and manage relationship of that country with the host country. Though states which set up embassies and diplomatic relation offices are free to bring the entire workforce required to work there, some countries opt to fill non strategic positions with manpower available in the host country. This helps the diplomatic mission to easily gather local resources and information make the relationship activities smoother and even reduce cost of maintaining mission office overseas.

Jobs are available in embassies for non core activities but even professionals can find vacancies in an embassy. Jobs like administration and clerical, security, driver, computer jobs, nurses and paramedical staff, maintenance technicians are usually available for nationals of the host states.
