Cebu Recruitment, Headhunters for:
IT Recruitment, Executive Search and all Specialized Roles in Visayas and Mindanao
As professional headhunters in Cebu, we have noticed that the days of placing a simple job board advertisement and receiving tons of qualified replies from candidates are gone.
The active candidate market (those who are actively applying for jobs with employers) has largely dried up, and accordingly, the war to recruit and retain quality talent in the Cebu is now fought more fiercely. New market entrants and domestic companies alike, no longer have the luxury of quality candidates applying en-mass to their job postings. The majority of the top executives, managers and IT staff and software developers in Cebu are already employed, are earning strong salaries and are receiving competitive benefits and bonuses. This means there are not many on the job boards anymore. Therefore, a new approach has to be taken!
At Cebu Recruitment we have your specialized recruitment needs covered. Our team of highly trained, professional headhunters has access to our database of over 100,000 executives, managers, experts. software developers and IT specialists in Cebu, the Visayas, and Mindanao. Additionally, each of our recruiters is internationally trained and certified in the latest passive talent sourcing strategies and online tools for headhunters. All of our training has been especially adapted to sourcing talent within the Filipino job market. Each recruiter is also highly networked within the communities of professionals from which they source talent from. They operate and participate in community outreach programs where they provide free career advice to professionals at networking events, via blogs, social media, and personal consultations. For this reason, our headhunters are not just viewed as people who “poach’ from their industry specialization, but rather they are viewed as active community participants. This means, that when we pick up the phone to call the top, passive candidates or network multipliers for our clients, job candidates answer the phone, and we get results for you.
Our passive talent sourcing capabilities, combined with our commitment to innovation in headhunting methodology and technology, ensures we can reach a further 70% of the market for candidates than other recruitment firms or internal HR teams, who traditionally rely heavily on job boards and LinkedIn. When you add our unique understanding of bigger picture business drivers and our deeply consultative, relationship driven approach, we can ensure to fill your toughest recruitment needs in Cebu, the Visayas and Mindanao (Vis-Min).

Manila Recruitment are the best recruiters I've ever worked with across our global footprint. We use Manila Recruitment exclusively for our Philippines hiring. The team are highly responsive, professional, and find us the best candidates. They were so quick at finding talent, that we had to speed our recruitment processes to keep up with them! Manila Recruitment guided us through the process to engage with talent in the Philippines, answered our questions on local employment conditions and gave us advice on how to attract the best talent. Our success with Manila Recruitment gave me the ability to recommend to our Board with confidence to expand our operations in the Philippines because we had a local partner we could trust to find us the right people for roles, the first time. I highly recommend their services.

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.

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.

At Flowerstore.ph we worked with Manila Recruitment to fill a technical position which had been very slow sourcing in-house. They were very professional throughout the entire process with great attention to all details. We were able to hire a candidate in a very short amount of time since starting the process. Definitely will work with them in the future!

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.
