Write a meal brief before comparing candidates
List breakfast, lunch and dinner separately, including serving times and the number of people. Describe the food your household actually eats during an ordinary week. Mention packed lunches, frequent guests, allergies and separate dietary needs. Decide whether grocery shopping, dishwashing and serving belong in the job. A candidate can then assess the complete routine rather than accepting a cooking role that later becomes general household work.
Use a paid cooking trial with clear criteria
Agree a short practical assessment with payment and ingredients confirmed in advance. Choose an everyday meal that reveals preparation, portion planning and cleanup. Explain your kitchen equipment and preferences before starting. Assess organisation, safe handling, taste and ability to meet the agreed serving time. Keep the trial proportionate; one paid assessment should not become several days of unpaid work. Discuss the result with the candidate, including which preferences can be learned.
Set up groceries and kitchen responsibilities
Decide who approves the menu and shopping list, how spending is authorised and where receipts are kept. Explain which ingredients are reserved for particular meals and how leftovers should be labelled and stored. Give one household member responsibility for instructions to avoid conflicting requests. Review the first week together: recurring delays may come from an unrealistic meal schedule or missing equipment rather than lack of cooking ability.
Salary, agency fee and next steps
Describe your cooks requirement to Staffly with the location, working days, hours and budget. Any published salary is a planning guide; confirm the offer for the actual duties and candidate experience. The employee’s wage is separate from Staffly’s standard one-time placement fee, which equals one month of the agreed salary.
Read the six-month replacement conditions in the written agreement, including how to report a problem and request support. Candidate availability and the start date need confirmation. Employers can call 0334 1041114 Monday–Saturday, 9 AM–6 PM Pakistan time. Job applicants should apply through Staffly Jobs.
