Step 1 - Register as an Employer

Visit www.dostyy.com and click Sign Up. Select 'Employer' as your account type. Fill in your profile details including your name, organisation name, location, and contact information. A complete, verified employer profile increases candidate trust and improves response rates.

 

Step 2 - Post a Job Listing

Once registered, navigate to the 'Post a Job' section. Provide the following information for best results:

•       Job title and category (e.g., Driver, Cook, Office Assistant)

•       Job location (city, area, or neighbourhood)

•       Working hours and schedule (full-time, part-time, live-in)

•       Required experience level and qualifications

•       Salary range offered (in PKR)

•       Any specific requirements such as CNIC, driving licence, or cooking expertise

Tip: Be specific. Detailed job posts attract more relevant, higher-quality applicants and reduce unqualified applications.

 

Step 3 - Search & Filter Candidates

Rather than waiting for applications, employers can proactively browse Dostyy's candidate database. Use the search and filter tools to narrow candidates by:

•       Job category and role type

•       Location and commute distance

•       Years of experience

•       Verification status (prioritise verified candidates)

•       Availability and preferred working hours

Save shortlisted profiles for easy comparison at a later stage.

 

Step 4 - Review Candidate Profiles

Each candidate profile on Dostyy includes their work history, skills, education, contact details, desired salary, and a profile photo. Verified candidates have completed Dostyy's internal screening process, which adds a layer of trust - particularly important for home-based or in-person roles. Review each profile thoroughly before making contact.

 

Step 5 - Contact & Interview Candidates

Use Dostyy's platform to message or call shortlisted candidates directly - no recruitment agent fees involved. Conduct initial screening interviews via phone or video call. Then invite your top candidates for an in-person interview. During interviews, focus on:

•       Relevant experience and references from previous employers

•       Attitude, reliability, and communication skills

•       Availability to start and expected salary

•       Any role-specific requirements such as cooking style, driving licence class, or medical training

 

Step 6 - Conduct Background Verification

Before making a final offer, always perform independent background checks:

•       Verify CNIC (National Identity Card) against the NADRA database

•       Confirm previous employment references by calling prior employers directly

•       For domestic staff, consider a trial period of 3 to 7 days before full commitment

•       For drivers, verify the driving licence with DLIMS (Driving Licence Issuing Management System)

Step 7 - Make an Offer & Onboard

Once you have identified the right candidate, make a formal job offer. It is strongly recommended to issue a written employment agreement that includes:

•       Job title and responsibilities

•       Agreed monthly salary in PKR

•       Working hours, days off, and overtime policy

•       Notice period for resignation or termination

•       Any additional benefits such as accommodation, meals, transport, or medical allowance

For businesses, ensure EOBI (Employees Old-Age Benefits Institution) and Social Security registration where applicable, and run payroll with monthly payslips.
