Very Important You Must Read

Dear Valued Member,

Thank you for being a part of Mustakbil.com, Pakistan’s leading jobs site.

Mustakbil.com is the only jobs site in Pakistan that contacts each employer to verify its status so that every job that is posted on our website is genuine and posted by authorized person only. We hope that you will understand that due to the limited resources it is not practically possible for us to conduct in-depth verification of each employer.

You are hereby advised to be careful about employment scams in which the job applicants are asked to pay some amount on one pretext or another along with job application.

As part of the job application process, recruiters/employers/agents should never ask you to pay fees for recruitment or processing services, such as training materials, interview fees, test fees, CV/resume improvements or administrative costs etc.

You are therefore advised to avoid applying for jobs where the role requires you to process payments via a personal bank account, cheque or transfer money by wire services such as Western Union or Moneygram.

Dear Members,

It’s October 07, 2009 – 5 years back from today we launched this jobs portal. Though industry has evolved during this period but when we started this venture, online recruitment was quite new concept in Pakistan. If I start describing this journey spanning over five years, it would take a lot of time so let me describe it in words of the users of our website.

It’s a journey from ….

”It won’t work in Pakistan”…”such service can work in western world but not in Pakistan”…”Can we actually get jobs online?”…..”Do you offer jobs?”….”Will it work in Pakistan?”…”How can someone get a job online?”…

to…

“it’s a great resource”….”I found my job online”…. “I am thankful to Mustakbil.com”….“Mustakbil has been able to meet our recruitment needs quite well” …“Mustakbil is one of the best job portal in Pakistan.” …“Your website is faster, simpler and more effective than several other similar services” …“quality service to the employers and employees” …“the Online HR site I admire” …“we are hiring within days and hours” …“It helped me to find my new job, its brilliant.” …“Excellent customer support” …

Today, I and my team would like to express our gratitude to all users of our website and everyone who supported us throughout this journey and helped making this venture a success.

Wishing you success using Mustakbil.com!
