The process of attracting, sourcing, screening, and hiring candidates to fill open roles.
Recruiting is the end-to-end process of filling open roles in an organisation: defining the role, writing job descriptions, sourcing candidates (job boards, referrals, LinkedIn, agencies), screening applications, conducting interviews, checking references, extending offers, and closing candidates through offer acceptance. It sits at the intersection of talent acquisition, marketing (employer brand), and sales (convincing candidates to join).
Key recruiting metrics include: time-to-hire (days from role opened to offer accepted), cost-per-hire (total recruiting spend / hires), offer acceptance rate, source-of-hire (which channels perform best), and quality-of-hire (new-hire performance after 6-12 months). Strong recruiting teams specialise by function (technical, sales, executive) or by geography.
In Pakistan, common recruiting channels include Rozee.pk, LinkedIn, employee referrals, and university partnerships. Mature recruiting operations use an ATS (applicant tracking system) integrated with the HRIS to move candidates seamlessly from hire to onboarding. Peoplifi integrates with popular ATS tools like Workable, Greenhouse, and Recruitee.
Our recruiting team closed 18 technical hires last quarter, with an average time-to-hire of 24 days.
Peoplifi handles Pakistan payroll, compliance, and HR workflows in one platform.
