OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESS WHEN HIRING FROM THE PHILIPPINES

1. SUBMIT JOB ORDER DOCUMENTATION TO THE PHILIPPINE OVERSEAS LABOUR OFFICE IN MANILA

This requires a number of hard copy documents signed in ink (i.e. not scanned or electronically signed) to be sent. Glo-Bal International Overseas Manpower Recruitment Agency can take care of this for you.

2. DWM (Department of Migrant Workers) ACCREDITATION

Once your Job Order is verified, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) will provide accreditation.

3. RECRUITMENT BEGINS

Glo-Bal International Overseas Manpower Recruitment Agency can organize the whole recruitment process, which can include Zoom interviews, trade testing, and even face-to-face interviews in the Philippines.

4. GLOBAL WORK VISAS

Once a company or employer is accredited, the job check can take place. Successful candidates can then apply for the Accredited Employer Work Visa.

5. SETTLEMENT SUPPORT

DWM rules demand that there is a full settlement and support package, plus on-going pastoral care for Filipinos working abroad.

IS IT COST EFFECTIVE TO HIRE FROM THE PHILIPPINES?

Glo-Bal International Overseas Manpower Recruitment Agency has been working with approved contracted employers in recruiting Filipino workers for some years. In our experience, if you’re spending more than 1.5 days a month on average on recruiting skilled workers, it’s far more cost effective to outsource this to a specialist international recruitment consultant.

We’ve worked with companies who need just one-off specialist roles recruited (but can’t find suitably skilled workers in your area), to employers who need a whole team recruited from the Philippines. So whether you’re looking for one or several Filipino workers – speak to us to see if it’s likely to be worthwhile for your business.
