Kohat has a strong military household presence built around its cantonment, and if there is one thing that comes up in almost every conversation with a Kohat client before anything else, it is verification: who exactly is this person, can it be proven, and what happens if something does not check out.
We place staff in Kohat Cantt and the wider City Area. The households here tend to know exactly what they want in terms of process before they even ask about price, which, honestly, makes our job more straightforward, we do not have to explain why background checks matter, everyone already agrees on that.
A cook costs PKR 35,000 to 60,000 a month, a maid or helper PKR 25,000 to 45,000, a driver PKR 35,000 to 55,000, standard for the region. Given the security-conscious nature of most households here, we would recommend not compromising on experience level to save a bit on salary, an inexperienced candidate is a bigger risk in a security-conscious household than in most others.
Here is exactly what happens before any candidate's profile reaches you: their CNIC is checked against NADRA records, a Police Character Certificate is obtained from their own local police station, not a generic one, and we personally call at least two previous employers to confirm honesty, reliability and the real circumstances of their last departure. Anything unresolved, and the candidate simply does not get placed. We do not make exceptions on this in Kohat.
A written agreement, salary, pay date, weekly day off, leave, notice period, comes with every hire, signed by both sides before work starts. For households that already operate within formal military processes, this tends to feel less like paperwork and more like the expected baseline.
We keep verified candidates ready for Kohat already, so most common roles are matched within 24 to 48 hours. To start, message us on WhatsApp with your role, your area, and your timeline. Every placement is monthly, direct, and covered by a 6-month replacement guarantee.
