How does Facebook decide who sees a post?
The main feed is now mostly recommended Reels and video, the same as everywhere else — but in Pakistan the intent still lives in Groups and Marketplace, and those run on their own rules. Comments and shares count for far more than reactions, and a post that starts a real argument in the comments travels furthest. Paid reach is genuinely cheap here, and the blue Boost button wastes money: a proper campaign built in Ads Manager costs a fraction per enquiry.
Formats, lengths, caption limits and the best posting windows in Pakistan Standard Time are the same whatever trade you are in, so they live in one place rather than being repeated on every guide.

If you would rather not do the above yourself, this is exactly what we take off you. Managed Facebook for HR and recruitment firms starts at PKR 35,000 a month.
- 01Re-cut the vertical videos we already made for TikTok and Instagram into Facebook Reels under 90 seconds, with captions written for an older reader
- 02Post three times a week on the page with the price, the area and the WhatsApp number visible in the post itself
- 03Post into the local buy-and-sell and community groups your customers already sit in, at a pace that does not get you removed for spam
- 04Keep the About section, hours, service area and cover photo matching your Google Business Profile exactly
- 05Build and watch Meta ad campaigns daily in Ads Manager instead of using Boost, and show you the cost per enquiry every week
- 06Answer page messages and comments, and move Marketplace enquiries into a WhatsApp conversation
- 07Create and refresh Marketplace listings with daylight photos and honest prices so they keep surfacing
- 08Report monthly on reach, cost per enquiry and exactly which post brought the phone calls
Should HR and recruitment firms be anywhere else?
Facebook first. After it is running steadily, these are the next platforms worth your time in this trade — in this order.
| Platform | Priority | How often | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | 5 posts per week, mixing live roles with commentary | Client-side decision makers and mid-career candidates are both here, and this is the one niche where LinkedIn genuinely earns first place. | |
| TikTok | #3 | 4 videos per week | Fresh graduates take their CV and interview advice from TikTok, and that is where next year's candidate pool is built. |
| WhatsApp Channels | #4 | 3 broadcasts per week | A channel of shortlisted and placed candidates is the fastest way to fill an urgent role without reposting the vacancy everywhere. |
| #5 | 3 Reels per week | Employer-branding work you produce for clients needs a home, and office and team Reels are what a candidate checks before agreeing to interview. |

Facebook questions from HR and recruitment firms
Is Facebook actually worth it for HR and recruitment firms?
Volume hiring in Pakistan — sales, call centre, admin, overseas placement — still runs through Facebook job groups and pages. We would rank it number 2 of the platforms worth your time in this trade, and run it at daily job posts plus 2 non-job posts per week.
How often should a hr & recruitment firm business post on Facebook?
Daily job posts plus 2 non-job posts per week. That figure is set by what this trade can sustain, not by what the platform would like. Posting three times a week for a year beats posting daily for a month and then stopping.
Should HR and recruitment firms be on Facebook before anything else?
No. LinkedIn comes first for HR and recruitment firms — Facebook is number 2 here. It is worth adding once the first platform is steady, for the reason above.
What is the first thing a hr & recruitment firm account gets wrong on Facebook?
Posting about the business instead of about the customer's problem. Post one job on Facebook and 900 applications arrive, 40 of them relevant, with no way to sort them. That is what your Facebook posts should be answering, in daily job posts plus 2 non-job posts per week
What does it cost to have someone run my Facebook account?
From PKR 15,000 a month with us. For HR and recruitment firms we usually recommend Growth at PKR 35,000. LinkedIn five days a week plus vertical CV and interview clips is genuine weekly output. Growth covers the editing, the posting and the DM replies — and DMs are where placements actually begin.
