How does LinkedIn decide who sees a post?
LinkedIn shows a post to a slice of your network first, then expands it based on comments longer than one word and how long people stay on the post. Dwell time is the lever, which is why document carousels and long text posts beat everything else. Outbound links get held back, so put the link in the first comment. Posts keep circulating for two or three days, far longer than any other platform, and thoughtful comments you leave on other people's posts reach as many people as your own posts do.
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.
LinkedIn formats, posting times and monetisation in Pakistan →What we do on LinkedIn every month
If you would rather not do the above yourself, this is exactly what we take off you. Managed LinkedIn for HR and recruitment firms starts at PKR 35,000 a month.
- 01Rewrite your headline, About section and banner so a recruiter or a foreign client understands what you do in five seconds
- 02Write and publish 8–12 posts a month in your own voice, drawn from one 20-minute call a month where you just talk
- 03Build 2 document carousels a month — still the format with the most reach on this platform
- 04Comment properly on 20–30 relevant posts a month from your account, because that reach often beats your own posts
- 05Turn a long video you already recorded into a native LinkedIn cut under 2 minutes with burnt-in subtitles
- 06Keep the company page posting so the profile does not look abandoned when a prospect checks it after a call
- 07Report on profile views, search appearances and connection requests from decision-makers — not on likes
Should HR and recruitment firms be anywhere else?
LinkedIn 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| #2 | Daily job posts plus 2 non-job posts per week | Volume hiring in Pakistan — sales, call centre, admin, overseas placement — still runs through Facebook job groups and pages. | |
| 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. |

LinkedIn questions from HR and recruitment firms
Is LinkedIn actually worth it for HR and recruitment firms?
Client-side decision makers and mid-career candidates are both here, and this is the one niche where LinkedIn genuinely earns first place. We would rank it number 1 of the platforms worth your time in this trade, and run it at 5 posts per week, mixing live roles with commentary.
How often should a hr & recruitment firm business post on LinkedIn?
5 posts per week, mixing live roles with commentary. 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 LinkedIn before anything else?
Yes. For this trade LinkedIn is where we would start, and we would not add a second platform until it is posting reliably. Client-side decision makers and mid-career candidates are both here, and this is the one niche where LinkedIn genuinely earns first place.
What is the first thing a hr & recruitment firm account gets wrong on LinkedIn?
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 LinkedIn posts should be answering, in 5 posts per week, mixing live roles with commentary
What does it cost to have someone run my LinkedIn 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.
