Corporate recruitment • For employers
From your first office administrator to a growing sales or customer support team, Staffly helps your business source and interview people for the work you actually need done. Share your roles, salary budget, workplace and required start date.
Request staff for my businessRecruitment and direct placement. Your business selects, employs and pays the staff.
A useful shortlist starts with a specific brief. Tell us what the person must accomplish, the experience that is essential and the skills you can train after joining. We discuss sourcing feasibility before setting expectations, especially for specialist technical and senior positions.
Office administrators · Receptionists · Office coordinators · Data entry operators
Tell us the visitor volume, telephone duties, document workload and software used. Separate reception coverage from back-office administration so the shortlist matches the actual working day.
Use a sample email, appointment-booking exercise and spreadsheet task. Agree which records the employee may access and who approves changes.
Accountants · Bookkeepers · Accounts assistants · Cashiers
Specify whether the role covers invoicing, bank reconciliation, receivables, stock records or management reporting. Name your accounting software and distinguish preparation work from approval authority.
Ask candidates to reconcile a small fictional ledger and explain discrepancies. Your finance lead should assess technical competence; cash-handling limits and payment approvals should be documented.
Sales executives · Business development executives · Telesales representatives · Digital marketing staff
Explain your product, customer type, sales cycle and whether the position involves field visits, telephone sales or online campaigns. State the fixed salary separately from commission and travel expenses.
Review a relevant work sample and run a realistic sales conversation. Agree targets, lead ownership and reporting expectations before making an offer.
Customer support representatives · Call centre agents · Chat support staff · Team leaders
Share the campaign, required languages, service hours and whether work is inbound, outbound or written support. Include shift rotation, transport arrangements and the tools agents will use.
Use a sample call or customer email to assess clarity, listening and judgement. Define escalation rules and access to customer information during onboarding.
IT support staff · Helpdesk technicians · Software developers · QA testers
Name the systems, languages or platforms that are essential. Explain whether you need end-user support, infrastructure troubleshooting, product development or testing; these require different experience.
Agree a role-relevant exercise with your technical lead and review previous work with the candidate. Specialist sourcing feasibility and timelines are confirmed after reviewing the brief.
Operations coordinators · Storekeepers · Inventory assistants · Retail sales staff
Describe the site, shift, customer contact, stock volume and reporting tools. For stock roles, define receiving, dispatch and counting responsibilities, including who signs off discrepancies.
Use a sample stock movement or customer scenario. Explain physical duties, shift handovers and supervision rather than relying on a broad job title.
HR assistants · Recruitment coordinators · Attendance coordinators · Office supervisors
Clarify whether you need interview scheduling, employee records, attendance administration or day-to-day supervision. Explain reporting lines and which decisions remain with management.
Discuss a scheduling or records scenario using fictional information. Define confidentiality, escalation and approval responsibilities before granting access to employee records.
Office boys · Office drivers · Commercial cleaners · Canteen cooks
Share the workplace opening hours, floor layout, number of people and expected duties. A driver, cleaner and office assistant should each have a clear brief even when recruited together.
Agree practical checks for the work involved, including driving credentials where relevant. Specify equipment, supplies, breaks and the person responsible for daily instructions.
Define the workload and reporting arrangement before comparing candidates.
Plan reception coverage around calls, visitors, breaks and closing duties. Includes a small-office coverage worksheet and a candidate assessment.
Use a fictional invoice and reconciliation exercise to assess an accounts assistant. Separate record preparation from payment approval.
Assess customer support candidates with fictional calls and messages. Includes an evidence sheet for accuracy, escalation and shift suitability.
Sequence reception, office support, accounts and cleaning hires around real workloads. Use a dependency plan rather than hiring every role at once.
Define office cook duties, headcounts, serving times, purchasing and cleanup before interviewing cooks in Islamabad or Rawalpindi.
Prepare a company-driver role with authorised trip requests, waiting time, vehicle handovers and a clear dispatch process for office employers.
For a permanent appointment, tell us the longer-term responsibilities and progression expected. For fixed-term cover, specify the end date, reason for cover and handover needs. The employment arrangement remains directly between your business and the selected employee.
For multiple hires, send a headcount by role and shift. Prioritise essential positions and nominate one person to consolidate interview feedback. A phased joining plan gives supervisors time to train new starters and lets you resolve any gaps before the next group joins.
Share the actual workplace rather than only the city name: for example, an Islamabad sector, Blue Area, I-9 or I-10, Saddar, Commercial Market, Scheme 3, Bahria Town or DHA. Confirm the address and commute with each candidate, particularly for early starts, late shifts and travel between sites.
Offices may need front-desk cover and document support; retailers need customer handling and stock accuracy; warehouses need clear dispatch routines. For schools, clinics and hospitality businesses, describe the setting and role-specific checks. This corporate service covers recruitment, not a promise of clinical staffing or regulated professional services.
Explore Islamabad and Rawalpindi hiring areasThe standard direct-placement fee is one month of the agreed salary, payable when you hire. Your business pays the employee’s salary separately. Confirm the written terms for the specific assignment, including the six-month replacement guarantee and its conditions; specialist or multi-hire requirements should be discussed before work starts.
Ask which identity, reference, qualification and other checks have been completed for each candidate. Screening supports your decision; it does not replace a technical interview or appropriate supervision. Set access controls for cash, customer information, software and premises according to the role.
Your business remains responsible for employment contracts, payroll, supervision and applicable employment obligations. Payroll outsourcing, statutory filings and employer-of-record services are not included in this recruitment offering.
