A Pakistani woman recently faced a distressing situation while applying for a job at a multinational company in Islamabad.
The woman used the Indeed app for her job search and had applied for a trainee and office assistant job at the Giga Group of Companies. In return for her appointment as a personal assistant, she was asked to provide favours to her boss.
The victim, identified as Adina Hira, took to X platform and shared screenshots of her conversation with the person who contacted her regarding the job.
“Being a girl in Pakistan is too difficult! I applied for a job on the Indeed website, which was for fresh graduates, and this is the message I received. It’s unbelievable!! Who knows how many innocent girls they must have taken advantage of. When a fresh graduate looks for a job,” Hira captioned the post.

According to the screenshot of WhatsApp chats, an executive named Sadam Bukhari contacted Hira on Indeed giving her information about the vacancy of the personal assistant position at their office. He also informed her about the salary and other allowances while explaining her job role and responsibilities.
In another screenshot, an individual is seen explaining her job role and also informing her that she will need to ‘cooperate’ with her manager. When Hira asked for clarification on cooperation, the individual replied saying that she will be required to spend some quality time with your boss.
Hira, furious by the reply, abused the person and asked him to offer this job to his mother, before blocking him on the messaging app.
Giga Group, the company involved in the case, has a very big name and reputation in the Pakistani market.
