Drivers Hiring Guides
Hiring guides for drivers across every city we serve.
About Hiring Drivers
Hire a driver for family transport, school runs or office journeys in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Explain your vehicle, daily routes, waiting periods and working hours. Review licence details and relevant experience before a practical assessment. This is staff placement, not car rental.
The guides below cover drivers hiring city by city: what to check before you sign an agreement, what a fair market salary looks like where you live, and the specific verification steps we run on every candidate before a profile reaches you. Placements in this category typically start around PKR 35,000 per month, adjusted for experience, live-in status and your city.Each guide is written for that city's actual hiring conditions rather than reused across locations, so read the one for your own city before you start interviewing.
Common Questions About Drivers
Do your drivers have a valid license?
Review the candidate’s original licence, validity, vehicle category and relevant experience. Ask Staffly which checks have been completed and discuss any outstanding checks before placement.
Can I hire a female driver?
Ask about available candidates for households that prefer one for children or women in the family, subject to availability.
Can I hire a driver part-time rather than full-time?
Yes. We place both part-time drivers for specific hours or time slots, and full-time drivers for agreed daily hours and a weekly day off.
What is the difference between a live-in and a full-time driver?
A full-time driver works standard daily hours and goes home after. A live-in driver stays on the premises, which suits households that need early morning or late night availability.
Every candidate covered in these guides goes through the same 40-point verification Staffly runs on every placement: CNIC checked against NADRA records, a Police Character Certificate from their own local police station, and previous employers called directly rather than a reference letter taken at face value. For duties, current pricing and the full FAQ for this role, see the main Drivers page, and for salary ranges by experience level and city, the salary guide.
Households hiring drivers through Staffly usually have the same three questions before they commit: how fast can someone start, what happens if the first hire does not work out, and who actually pays the staff member. Timing depends on how specific the role is, common roles are matched faster than specialised ones, but most households have a shortlist within a day or two of getting in touch. If the placement is not a good fit, the 6-month free replacement guarantee covers a second search at no extra cost. And the staff member is always employed directly by you, salary paid straight to them, with no ongoing commission taken by Staffly beyond the one-time placement fee.
