Six checks before you see a CV.
This is the part most job boards skip. Every shortlisted candidate has been through all six.

- Structured HR interviewSame questions for every candidate, scored against your brief.
- Skills taskA short, practical task matched to the actual job.
- English and remote readinessWritten and spoken English, internet, setup and working hours checked.
- References and shortlistReference checks, then a shortlist with notes on each person's strengths and gaps.
A deep talent pool most companies haven't tapped.
Working-hours overlap
Pakistan is on UTC+5: a full overlap with the Gulf, most of the UK and European working day, and agreed shifts for North America.
Cost that makes sense
Experienced professionals at salaries well below US, UK and Gulf levels, without cutting on quality.
English at work
English is an official language and the everyday language of business, universities and professional exams.
Strong graduates
A large, young workforce with degrees in business, computing and data, many with experience at international firms.
No retainer. No hire, no fee.
One placement fee
Agreed in writing before we start. Payable only when your chosen candidate accepts the offer.
Replacement guarantee
If a hire leaves within the guarantee period, we find a replacement at no extra cost.
You employ them
You hire directly as an employee or contractor, or through your Employer of Record. We step out once you hire.
Before you book a call
Do candidates pay anything?
No. Candidates never pay us for jobs, placements or applications. Our fees are paid only by employers.
Will the person relocate to my country?
No. We recruit for remote roles only: your hire works from Pakistan.
How fast can you send a shortlist?
It depends on the role. We agree a shortlist date with you on the first call and keep you updated every week.
Who handles contracts and payroll?
You do, directly or through an Employer of Record service. We can explain the common options during the call.
Tell us about the role.
We'll reply within two working days to set up a 20-minute call.
Build a career abroad, the right way.
Work remotely for a foreign company from home, or prepare for a move to the UAE. Both start here, and both are free.

When a remote role matches your skills, we contact you to arrange an interview. We focus on HR and recruitment, data and reporting, and support and operations roles.

When everything is urgent, nothing is: leading a multicultural team in the Gulf
What the research says about urgency, culture and burnout, and what good managers do differently.
Real employers and recruiters do not charge you for a job offer, a visa or an interview. If someone asks for money, stop and check before you pay anything.
Hi, I'm Maria Khan.
I'm an HR professional. I've worked in talent acquisition for a Canadian firm remotely from Pakistan, in HR in Oman, as a data analyst, and in People and Culture for a Gulf business group. Across all of it I saw the same two problems.
Talented Pakistanis lose time, money and opportunities to processes nobody explains to them. And companies abroad miss great people because they don't know how to find or assess them.
Raah-e-Pardes, "the road abroad", is my answer to both. For professionals, it's honest guidance from the HR side of the desk. For employers, it's a recruiter who knows how to tell a good CV from a good hire.

Our fees come only from employers. Always.
Checked, not guessed
Guides are checked against official sources and dated, so you know how current they are.
