Microsoft has been sending recruiting teams for the past several years to major universities such as LUMS. Now they are widening the initiative. Please see below.
Great recognition of Pakistani IT talent!
Microsoft Pakistan, HQ'd out of Karachi with presence in Islamabad as well, now also have an executive responsible for developer and ecosystem partnerships. There are several relationships currently in the works, but one in particular which I am intimately familiar with. Once it is finalized hopefully I will be able to share that news with you.

Microsoft Recruiting from Pakistan
Posted on November 16, 2010
Note: Please find below the details of open positions at Microsoft that Microsoft is trying to actively fill with international candidates. For this purpose Microsoft would be hiring from Pakistan in the coming few months. This is a great opportunity for all the computer geeks and programmers to try and avail. Here are the details as per Gina Gibellini - Talent Sourcer for Microsoft Bing (Online Services Division).
Have you ever considered relocating to the U.S.? Do you like to work on the hardest problems in computing with the biggest user impact? Is Search your vision of computings future, but it isnt nearly there yet? Want to be the one to make it happen?
We work on the cutting edge of computer science, where a petabyte of data is small, ten thousand machines is a little cluster, and one second is an eternity. Our tools include machine learning models and the worlds largest distributed system. We are a high powered startup inside of Microsoft, working on technology and products that are critical to our companys success and at the heart of the customer experience of the internet.
Hopefully youve had a chance to experience Microsofts new search engine Bing and seen how were changing the game in Search. Bing is receiving amazing reviews and generating lots of great buzz. Bing has had a fantastic year so far. After the successful brand launch earlier this year, the team has been working hard, both on closing the gap with our competitors in key areas like relevance, as well as driving thought leadership with new paradigms for search and user experience. This is probably one of most exciting times to be on the team, and you have an opportunity to help shape its future.
A successful candidate will have background in some of the following areas:
BS in Computer Science or equivalent required. MS/PhD is welcome.
Strong theory/algorithms background and exceptional problem solving and analytical skills.
Extensive software design and development skills/experience with C/C++/C#
Excellent communications skills, both verbal and written
Ability and willingness to work independently and in a team to research innovative solutions to challenging technical problems.
As the best next step, would you mind taking 1 or 2 minutes to answer the brief questions below? This information will help me to connect you with the right position. Feel free to respond via email and include your current CV to me at v-gigibe@microsoft.com
Are you open to relocation? (Microsoft will cover the relocation costs.)
Have you completed a university degree? If so, from what school and when?
In what country do you currently reside?
What is your strongest programming language (Java, ASP, C, C++, VB, HTML, C#, etc )? How long have you been programming in that language and when was the last time? What percentage of the time are you coding in your current position and what programming language are you using?
Do you have experience with multi-threaded programming? If so please explain.
What are the main duties of a tester?
If you have worked on automated tests, has this been via a tool that uses record/playback functionality or was the automation written by OOP languages?
What type of testing have you performed in your career so far?
Have you spoken to a MS recruiter in the past? If so, was it over the phone or did you have in person interviews? When did the interviews occur and what were the results?
Is there anyone else in your set of peers or friends who you would like to recommend as a great candidate for Software Development positions at Microsoft? If so, please list their name and email address and we would be happy to consider them a well. We have hundreds of positions open on the AdCenter Development in Test Team so please dont hesitate to recommend someone that you think might be interested and qualified.
