Build and run a team in Pakistan without setting up an office
Hiring in a new country is rarely just about finding good people. You also need a place for them to work, contracts, payroll, HR records and someone on the ground to handle day-to-day admin. For many SMEs, that is too much to set up alone. ZAS TECH professional services bring these pieces together, so you can focus on the work your team does while we manage the rest.
We are based in Islamabad, Pakistan, and serve clients in Pakistan and internationally. As a sister company of ZAS Agencies, founded in 1994, and a strategic partner of HaanaTech in the UK, we understand how cross-border businesses operate and what they need from a local partner.
Our four professional service lines
HR recruitment
We help you find people who match your requirements. That starts with understanding the role, the skills and the working style you need. We then source candidates, shortlist them against your criteria and run interviews. You receive a focused shortlist and make the final decision. This saves your managers from screening large numbers of applications and lets them spend time only on serious candidates.
Managed office solutions
Your staff can work from ZAS offices in Islamabad while we handle the administration. You direct their work and set their priorities. We look after the workspace, facilities and the admin that comes with running an office. Your team gets a professional environment from day one, and you avoid leases, fit-outs and local supplier contracts.
Administrative management
We provide administrative support through contractual agreements. This can cover routine office administration, record keeping, coordination and other support tasks that keep a team running smoothly. The scope is written into the agreement, so both sides know exactly what is included.
Payroll and HR management
We offer end-to-end payroll and HR management. Typical work includes preparing payroll, maintaining employee records, managing leave and attendance information, and supporting HR processes such as onboarding. You get accurate, consistent handling of your people's pay and records without building an in-house HR function.
A model that already works for international clients
This approach is not theoretical. Our Canadian partner, Capital TAX, employs over 20 people through our professional services model. It shows how a business abroad can grow a dedicated team in Islamabad while ZAS TECH handles the office and administration around it.
Who these services suit
Our professional services suit SMEs and growing firms in the UK, North America, the Gulf and Pakistan that want dedicated staff in Pakistan, whether for finance, back-office work, customer support or technical roles. If your team will handle customer contact, our BPO and call center services can add trained agents, quality review and reporting. Businesses that want a single system for HR, finance and operations can also look at ZAS ERP.

FAQ
Professional Services: common questions
What does ZAS TECH professional services include?
Our professional services cover four areas: HR recruitment, managed office solutions, administrative management, and payroll and HR management. You can use one of them, such as recruitment only, or combine them into a single arrangement where we find your staff, provide their office in Islamabad, handle day-to-day admin and run payroll. The scope is agreed in writing before work starts.
How does the managed office solution work?
Your staff work from ZAS offices in Islamabad and report to you. You set their goals, manage their work and own your business processes. We provide the workspace and handle the administration that comes with running an office. This lets you build a dedicated team in Pakistan without signing a lease, fitting out an office or managing local suppliers.
Do you make the hiring decision for us?
No. We handle the time-consuming parts of recruitment, including understanding the role, sourcing candidates, shortlisting them against your criteria and running interviews. You then receive a focused shortlist with our notes and make the final decision. This keeps you in control of who joins your team while saving your managers a lot of screening time.
Has this model worked for overseas clients?
Yes. Our Canadian partner, Capital TAX, employs over 20 people through our professional services model. It is a practical example of how a business based outside Pakistan can build and grow a team in Islamabad while ZAS TECH handles the office and administrative side. We serve clients in Pakistan and internationally.
What is covered by payroll and HR management?
We offer end-to-end payroll and HR management. Typical work includes preparing payroll, keeping employee records up to date, managing leave and attendance information and supporting onboarding and other HR processes. The exact responsibilities are agreed with you in advance, so it is always clear what we handle and what approvals stay with your business.
Can we start small and add services later?
Yes. Many businesses start with one service, for example recruitment or a small team in a managed office, and add administrative management or payroll as they grow. We review the arrangement with you regularly and adjust the scope when your needs change. Contact us to discuss a starting point that suits your plans.
