Seeking Assistance for Hiring in the Philippines
We’re in the process of preparing to launch our operations in the Philippines, which is still about six months out. In the meantime, we’re looking to hire one contracted employee there. Does anyone have suggestions on how to advertise job openings on SEEK (Jobstreet) or any other platform in the Philippines without having a registered business in the country yet? Your insights would be greatly appreciated! It seems that advertising on the Australian site doesn’t allow listings to be visible internationally. Thank you!

To advertise for a job in the Philippines without having a registered business there yet, you have a few options:
Job Portals: While SEEK is primarily focused on Australia, JobStreet is a well-known job portal in the Philippines that you can use. You may be able to create an employer account and post a job ad without having a registered business there. However, it’s advisable to contact their customer support for guidance on your specific situation.
Social Media: Utilize platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter to promote the job opening. You can post in relevant groups and pages that cater to job seekers in the Philippines.
Recruitment Agencies: Consider partnering with a local recruitment agency that can help you find suitable candidates and also take care of local compliance issues. This can ease the process of hiring without a registered business.
Freelance Platforms: If you’re open to hiring freelancers, platforms like Upwork and Freelancer can be effective. You can find individuals with the right skill set and hire them on a contract basis.
Networking: Leverage your professional network or reach out to industry contacts in the Philippines who may know potential candidates or can help spread the word about your job opening.
Standard Job Boards: Explore other job boards that are popular in the Philippines like Indeed, Monster, or Kalibrr. These might allow international postings or have options for unregistered businesses.
Make sure to clearly specify that the position is for a contract role, and provide details about the job responsibilities, required qualifications, and application process. Good luck with your hiring process!
