As an employer, the success of engaging an agency to source, screen and present quality candidates comes down to them understanding our needs – not only of the actual job role but also of our company culture, management style and workplace dynamics. Manila Recruitment spent a lot of time with us on this and making sure we were all aligned. This has meant quality candidates coming through and a high rate of actual hires. (I’m enjoying having my time back and leaving recruitment to the professionals!)

When our BPO’s HR department was unable to find us candidates to interview who had the right qualifications we turned to Manila Recruitment to assist us with finding candidates. Within a few weeks we had three qualified candidates to interview, all with excellent experience. In fact we almost hired two of them, but in the end did settle for the one candidate who best suited our team culture. The process was simple and straightforward and we were kept informed at all steps along the way on the progress of their searches.
I would highly recommend Manila Recruitment for professional support in finding the right candidate with both the right skills and personality.

We recently decided to set up a development base in Manila and started working on building a team with Manila Recruitment. From the start the team were very helpful, giving us good guidance and realistic opinions on what would be possible. Over the past four months we have successfully recruited a core team who I am delighted with. During that process I myself have never needed to leave the UK. I can thoroughly recommend Manila Recruitment as an excellent way forward for anyone considering establishing a whole team or for filling highly technical roles in the Philippines. They are good people doing a great job.

Manila Recruitment clearly had experience in helping organisations new to the Philippines to get started quickly, find the right talent, and work to tight timeframes.
Following Manila Recruitment’s induction to its recruitment philosophy, which was invaluable in managing our own expectations in hiring timelines, time was taken to not only understand the roles we needed filled, but also the urgency and business drivers in hiring the local team. The overall service provided by Manila Recruitment was excellent, with a strong emphasis in using an open and consultative style of engagement to ensure our needs were met.
I have no hesitation in recommending Manila Recruitment to any organisation looking for a recruiter that works hard in finding the ‘right people’, instead of simply ‘filling seats’.

My name is David and I head the Manila-based operations for a rapidly growing digital marketing company called iStack Holdings.
In early 2015 I flew to Manila with the goal of setting up a team to help us grow our company. I wanted talented designers and developers – the best, not just anyone.
I was lucky enough to find Manila Recruitment and use them alongside my own recruitment efforts. I quickly realised that the quality of candidates/hires I acquired through MR made it an extremely easy decision to stop doing it myself — and this saved me more time than I can imagine.
I now use MR exclusively and they have helped us grow our operations rapidly from nothing to almost 30 talented staff in about 18 months. These staff have been indispensable in our company’s growth and success – people who we depend on and trust with high value work, not generic BPO staff.
If you would like to find the right staff in The Philippines, especially in the areas of technology/development, you won’t find safer hands than Manila Recruitment. I firmly recommend you invest in their services.

We are a Social Enterprise & Technology Company inventing mobile services to underserved people in predominantly emerging markets. After experiencing the services of alternative headhunters without success, we turned to Manila Recruitment for assistance in securing a number of high-level, executive and tech roles in a short timeline. Their specific process and professionalism produced fast results, exceeding our expectations. Adapted candidates, plus regular updates and communication, all delivered through consultants who understood our business model and our briefs. I have already returned to use Manila Recruitment for another key position.

Manila Recruitment has been excellent to work with, everyone we have encountered has been top notch from sales & client success to the recruiting team. Their process was highly refined for dialing in the job requirements and getting crystal clear on what we are looking for. This upfront due diligence led to us only spending time with a handful of highly qualified candidates that we could choose that best fit the role. We ended up being so pleased with the candidates that they sourced for our position that we ended up hiring two of them for different roles. Would highly recommend Manila Recruitment for your next role.

My experience with various recruiting agencies in the Philippines has led me to find that Manila Recruitment stands out as the most exceptional I have encountered. The fee exceeds my previous experiences; however, it is justified by their tailored approach to your requirements and the exceptional personal recruiter who ensures a response within 24 hours. They strive to streamline the process of identifying candidates who genuinely align with our company’s expectations. I want to take a moment to acknowledge my exceptional recruiter, Shaira, who consistently goes above and beyond to fulfill our company’s goal.
