What should you tell the agency?
Answer these questions when requesting a shortlist from Hire Staff Islamabad. They help define the duties before you compare candidates.
- Is the front desk for an office, clinic, showroom or another workplace?
- Which languages and communication skills are needed for customers?
- Does the role include appointments, records, payments or sales enquiries?
- What cover is needed during breaks, weekends or late opening hours?
How to assess the fit
Use a short interview exercise with an incoming telephone call, a visitor and a scheduling change. Assess clear communication and organisation, not just appearance. If the role handles records or payments, discuss access controls, privacy and supervisor approval.
Agree the limits of the role
Reception, sales and bookkeeping may overlap, but each needs clear responsibility and sufficient time. Do not advertise a front-desk role while expecting a full accounts or sales function.
