What does Olive Resources do?
Olive Resources is a recruitment and HR staffing agency. We help companies find and hire the right candidates through permanent recruitment, executive search, contract staffing, IT staff augmentation and recruitment process outsourcing (RPO).
How does your recruitment process work?
We start by understanding the role, salary range and team culture. We then source candidates, interview and test them, check references, and send you a shortlist of 3–5 matched profiles. We coordinate interviews and support you through the offer and onboarding.
How long does it take to find a suitable candidate?
For most roles we present qualified candidates within 7–15 business days. Senior, executive and highly specialised positions can take longer because they usually require a confidential search for passive candidates.
Which countries do you recruit for?
We recruit for companies in Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, the United Kingdom and the United States, for both on-site and remote roles.
Which industries do you hire for?
We hire for IT and software, engineering and construction, finance and accounting, sales and marketing, healthcare, manufacturing and supply chain, customer support and BPO, and executive leadership roles.
Do you charge candidates for finding them a job?
No. Our services are free for candidates. Employers pay our fees.
How much does it cost to hire through Olive Resources?
Permanent placements are usually charged as a one-time fee based on the hired candidate's salary, payable only after a successful hire. Contract staffing and RPO are priced per engagement. Contact us with your role and we will send a quote.
Do you offer permanent, contract and temporary staffing?
Yes. We provide permanent hires, fixed-term contract staff and temporary workers, and contractors can be converted to permanent employees later.
Do you run background checks and skill assessments?
Yes. Candidates go through structured interviews, role-specific skills tests, employment history verification and reference checks before we present them to you.
Can you hire for both blue-collar and white-collar roles?
Yes. We recruit for skilled trades and technical field roles as well as office, professional, managerial and executive positions.
What happens if a placed candidate leaves early?
Our permanent placements include a replacement guarantee period. If the hire leaves during that period, we search for a replacement at no extra placement fee. The exact period is agreed in your contract.
