Gujranwala is a manufacturing and export city, and you can see that in how the housing has developed: older, established homes in Model Town sit alongside a newer wave of upper-middle-income households in DHA Gujranwala, plus a cantonment side with its own separate character. Each group hires a little differently, which is worth knowing before you start.
DHA Gujranwala families are usually first-time hirers of live-in staff, moved into a bigger house, need help running it, and want the process explained clearly because they have not done this before. Model Town households have often had staff for years through informal channels and are switching to an agency because the informal system finally failed them once. Satellite Town and Cantt sit somewhere in between.
Salary-wise, nothing unusual for a city of this size: cooks between PKR 35,000 and 60,000, maids and helpers PKR 25,000 to 45,000, drivers PKR 35,000 to 55,000. What does vary is live-in versus live-out, live-in staff take a slightly lower cash number because accommodation and food are included, and we make sure that trade-off is written down rather than assumed by either side.
Every candidate goes through the same process regardless of how they were originally sourced or referred: CNIC verified against NADRA records, a Police Character Certificate from their own local station, and phone calls we make ourselves to previous employers to check honesty and the real reason they left their last job. A vague or unreachable reference is treated as a fail, we do not place around it.
For the DHA Gujranwala families in particular, we spend extra time upfront on the written agreement, since this is often their first time managing a live-in staff member. Salary, pay date, day off, leave, notice period, what is included in live-in accommodation, all of it goes on one page before day one so nobody is guessing three months in.
We already hold verified candidates ready for Gujranwala, so cooks, maids and drivers are typically matched within 24 to 48 hours. Reach out on WhatsApp with your role, your part of the city, and roughly when you want someone to start, and we will get moving. Every placement is monthly, direct between you and the staff member, and covered by a 6-month replacement guarantee.
