What we stand for

Integrity, excellence and personalised service

Every demand we accept is handled by people who know the trade, the destination country and the paperwork involved, maintaining our commitment to integrity, excellence and personalised service.

Ultimately, we believe that by fulfilling our vision we can make a meaningful contribution to the success of both employers and job seekers, and help to shape a more productive and fulfilling workforce.

Paramount and Hassle-Free Services

One desk owns the file from demand letter to arrival, so you are never passed between departments.

Customer Ease and Satisfaction

Terms in plain language, timelines we can defend, and someone who picks up the phone.

Better Coordination and Client Relationships

Scheduled updates for employers, and a welfare follow-up once the worker has reported for duty.

Lucidity and Candour

Papers you are free to verify, and nothing promised that the law does not permit.

Our Vision

Connecting the best talent with top-tier organisations

We want a Pakistan whose masons, electricians, plant operators and engineers are chosen abroad for proven skill, not because their wage is the cheapest on the table.

That takes a register of workers we have personally trade tested, paperwork an employer can audit line by line, and a relationship that survives the flight instead of ending at the departure gate.

We judge progress by repeat demand letters from the same employers, by workers still on the job twelve months later, and by households whose income changed permanently because of it.

Our Mission

World-class professionals, placed honestly

To provide any overseas company with professionals who can do the job on day one, and to open career opportunities that raise the standard of the Pakistani workforce. We stay focused on the industries we know best, so the targets we accept are targets we can meet.

Ethical recruitment

Nothing charged above the Government of Pakistan approved rate, no tested worker swapped for a cheaper one, and no paper we cannot stand behind.

Worker welfare

A desk that answers after arrival: grievances taken up, acclimatization handled, and a number the family back home can reach directly.

Employer partnership

Demands answered with dates we can keep and people matched to the trade, not merely bodies to fill a headcount.

CEO's Message

This company began with one conviction: an employer in Riyadh, Doha or Dubai should be able to put a name from Rawalpindi on a purchase order and sleep on it. From Hong Kong Plaza we have grown into a licensed Overseas Employment Promoter supplying Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, the UAE, Kuwait, Malaysia and Libya.

Our work covers every band of skill, from general labour, masons and carpenters through electricians, welders and plant operators to engineers, doctors and accountants. Candidates are tested and interviewed by our own assessors, every document is attested, and medicals, visas, emigration and ticketing stay in one team's hands until the worker reports to your site.

What we will not do matters just as much. We take no fee the Government of Pakistan has not approved, we never hold a passport or contract as security, and nobody leaves on a verbal promise. Someone is depending on that wage to feed a family at home, and that is precisely what our licence is for.

What we want now is partnership over decades, not one-off demands. To the employers, partners and staff who brought us this far, thank you; we expect to be judged by what our placements do for the businesses that hire us and the families that rely on them.

Anti-Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery Prohibition Policy (AHTMS Prohibition Policy)

Shahenshah Overseas holds a zero-tolerance position on human trafficking and modern slavery in any form. We recruit only against verified employer demands, under a Government of Pakistan licence, and we believe no worker should pay to be recruited into a job they did not choose.

The policy covers every stage of our work: the vacancy being advertised, the sourcing and trade testing of candidates, contract signing, medical and visa processing, deployment, and the welfare follow-up we provide once a worker has arrived. It applies to our own staff, our overseas partners and any agent acting on our behalf.

For clarity and understanding, the following terms are defined as:

Human Trafficking

The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons through threat, force, coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, abuse of power or vulnerability, for the purpose of exploitation.

  • Recruiting a person into work they never agreed to
  • Deception about the employer, country, wage or contract
  • Any element of force, fraud or coercion in the process

Modern Slavery

Slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking, including debt bondage created by recruitment fees, withheld wages, withheld passports or contracts the worker cannot read.

  • Recruitment fees that trap a worker in debt bondage
  • Withheld wages, passports or identity documents
  • Contracts the worker cannot read, question or leave

How we hold this policy in practice

Recruitment only against attested employer authorizations and demand letters we have verified.

Every demand letter, power of attorney and visa is checked before a single candidate is shortlisted.

No worker's passport, ticket or contract is ever held as security by our office or our agents.

No fee beyond Government of Pakistan approved service charges, and every payment a worker makes is receipted.

Wages, hours, accommodation and contract length are explained before signing, in a language the worker reads.

Any sub-agent found charging a worker is removed from our network and reported to the Bureau of Emigration.

To report a concern about a placement, worker or agent, call 0345-5515769. Every report is reviewed by the licence holder.

CSER Policy Statement

Corporate Social & Environmental Responsibility

Recruitment has a footprint beyond the placement: in the families that depend on remittances, in the communities that train our workers, and in the environment we all share. Our Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility policy sets out what we do about it.

Community

Free guidance sessions in Rawalpindi for first-time overseas workers, covering contracts, wages, rights and what a genuine demand letter looks like.

People

A grievance route for deployed workers and their families, followed up by our worker welfare desk instead of being closed at the airport.

Fair work

Contracts signed before departure, explained in the worker's own language, with wages, hours and accommodation written down.

Environment

Paper-light documentation, shared travel arrangements and group ticketing to cut unnecessary flights and printing.

Quality Policy

We are committed to enhancing customer satisfaction through excellent recruitment services in a free, un-influenced environment, per the requirements of foreign employers.

  • Fully comply with the laws and acts of the Ministry of Labour & Manpower and Overseas Pakistanis.
  • Provide unskilled, semi-skilled, skilled, highly skilled and professional manpower for both product-oriented and service-oriented jobs.
  • Actualize at least 90% of the demands received in a year.
