Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first step if I want to hire workers from the Philippines?
The first thing to do would be to email us your requirements. We need information on the position,
qualifications, and
salary that you would provide as an employer. Please note that as per Philippine government regulations, roundtrip airfare, accommodation, and food allowance are mandatory for most countries where the candidate will be working.
The next step in the
recruitment process would be to start on the
accreditation documents.
Why do I need to go through accreditation?
Accreditation is done to ensure that actual jobs placements are existing in the country where the candidate will be working. In a way, it serves as a background check on the employer.
As an employer, I only intend to hire one person? Do I still need to go through accreditation?
If you only intend to hire one person, contact us so we can discuss your special situation.
I represent a recruitment agency in Singapore with a job order from an employer in the United Kingdom. Can you help us recruit workers?
As a duly licensed POEA recruitment agency, we can certainly provide you with staffing solutions. You will still need to complete documents for accreditation but you should contact us beforehand since this is considered a special case and subject for adjustment.
How do I choose candidates?
Once you give us the qualifications you are looking for, we will identify candidates in our database who match your requirements. We will then email you resumes for your review.
How are interviews conducted?
Usually, the interviews are conducted in our office. The employer may call our office to speak with the candidate, with a representative of our agency on standby.
How long before a worker can leave the Philippines?
It really all depends on how long it takes to secure the visa to the country of deployment. It will take at least one month to do accreditation, collect and process worker papers through the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA).
Do you process the visas for the workers we hire?
It depends on the country. Most countries have embassies here in the Philippines where one can apply for an entry visa or work permit. We do provide assistance in processing of the visa, however, all application fees related to the visa are shouldered by the employer.
Note that even with clearance from the POEA, the worker must have a valid visa to the country of deployment. Otherwise, they will not be allowed to clear Philippine immigration.
What are your fees?
Fees are discussed on a case-to-case basis, depending on the salary and the volume of the workers to be hired.
What if I have already found the workers I want to hire?
If you have already found the workers you are looking for, then we can process them at the POEA for you. You, as an employer, will still need to go through accreditation. Once this is completed, we will contact the workers you intend to hire and start collecting their documents for processing at the POEA.
