4 Ways Recruitment Firms in Manila Work Their Magic

While searching for a potential job is crucial and somehow painstaking for employees, the responsibilities of recruitment firms in Manila are not to be derogated. Sourcing suitable candidates for a job is never an easy task, especially for head hunters who have a reputation to uphold across different sectors. It takes time, effort and considerate judgement to hire a person that can fill a particular position for a company.

Here are four things recruitment agencies leverage on to boost their recruitment solutions:

Network Expansion

Head hunting agencies continuously expand their networks through lead generation, posting job openings on job advertisement platforms and other strategies. Aside from finding new talents and clients, these companies tend to keep resumes and contacts of some applicants for potential backfill positions and future vacant roles. So don’t be surprise when firms would call you in for a position that you did not apply for, it’s their way of utilizing their talent pool.

Social media and Mobile Recruiting

While personal references and connections have its perks, there’s no denying that the internet and
social media have reinvented the hiring and recruitment process. The increasing number of millennials
joining the workforce now largely factors in the success or failure of talent acquisition.

By 2030, it is estimated that millennials will make up 75% of the workforce. This is where social media recruiting comes into play. Sites like LinkedIn and JobStreet serve as an avenue for recruitment firms to maximize their hiring strategies. Head hunters are as visible as job seekers in social media and they are always active in tapping potential talents that they think can fit the bill for a particular company. Job fairs and such events are also a great way to expand a recruitment firm’s network. Figures show that about 90% of staffing agencies arrange free training for all of their employees and about 65% of those who went through the programs fostered new aptitude and improved on existing skills.

Content Marketing & Email Marketing

Recruitment firms continuously invest in content marketing to reach as much people and businesses as possible. They fill their websites and blogs with relevant content and share the contents on various platforms for higher search engine rankings. Some are even actively responding to people in forums, and try to creatively insert the links of their content in their conversations to get more web visits. They also use email marketing by sending newsletters and pitches to attract more applicants and potential partners.

Make their brand visible

Recruitment agencies continuously invest in brand reputation, especially now that companies are leaning towards outsourcing such firms instead of having an in-house talent acquisitions team. They make sure they are visible on social media and other highly populated channels. Sometimes, they even pay for ads, whether online or in traditional platforms. They also market themselves well to keep up with the competitive environment among its peers. They take necessary precautions and also conduct a thorough hiring process to protect their credibility.

Companies invest in people and these recruitment firms exist to make sure that these employers invest in the right people. At the same time, they also serve as guide for job seekers to know more about the industry and negotiate with their employer in terms of compensation.

3 Basic Questions About Recruitment Process Outsourcing

Nowadays, companies invest in Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) because of the countless benefits it offers. Some of these benefits include reduced operational costs, faster turnaround time, and better screening of applicants. Learn more about RPO with us as we answer some of the common questions we receive about it.

What is Recruitment Process Outsourcing?

Recruitment Process Outsourcing enables a certain company or employer to outsource or transfer a part or the whole of its hiring methodology to an RPO provider – a recruitment firm or a headhunter. The scope of the outsourced work would always depend on the discussion and agreement between the two parties.

Types of RFO

RPO comes in three types: (1) Fully Outsourced Basis, (2) Hybrid Basis, and (3) Project Basis. For the first type, the employer outsources the entire recruitment process to the provider. As for hybrid basis, the employer has their in-house recruitment team, but they allow the RPO provider to manage certain parts of the recruitment process that they could no longer govern. Lastly, for the third type, as its name suggests, the employer outsources their recruitment processes for a specific timeframe only. Usually, the third type only caters to a specific recruitment need of the employer.

How Can I Choose the Right RPO Provider?

RPO providers or recruitment firms have different recruitment processes and strategies. Some headhunters specialize on the first few steps of the process such as searching for candidates, pre-screening and conducting interviews and exams. Meanwhile, other providers excel in fully outsourced RPO – from searching for applicants to on-boarding them. In this case, the first thing you have to determine is the scope of the recruitment process you are comfortable to outsource. Next factor to consider is your budget.

How much does it cost to avail RPO?

The cost of RPO depends on the predetermined rates of the RPO provider as well as the services that the client would avail. It’s better to directly inquire to the recruitment firm for precise pricing.

Will the Employer Have a Say on the Recruitment Process?

Here at Peoplehub, yes. In fact, before we start working for a specific client or employer, we ask about their specific recruitment preferences and requirements so we can tailor fit the recruitment methodology according to their timeline, values, and non-negotiable. At the same time, we also encourage them to give us feedback with how we work to give us more insight on how we can move forward with the process.

Why Foreign Investors Outsource Their Recruitment Operations in Manila

Availing the services of a reliable recruitment firm enables companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, to focus on their core operations while having non-core competencies taken care of by experts. Established and larger companies also benefit from outsourcing hiring operations as, over the years, recruitment is also becoming a sizeable task. At its core, talents are the lifeblood of any organization, and the competition for getting the best people among companies gets tougher each day.

Thanks to the Philippine government supporting the nation as a viable outsourcing hub across Asia, Manila, and many other cities in the country, is booming with outsourced serviced providers offering recruitment solutions, and more. As a result, many foreign investors are now leaning towards recruitment firms in the Philippines for low-cost yet impressive hiring services.

There are three major factors why global businesses choose to outsource their recruitment operations in Manila. Read on below.

Reduced costs

Any organization can most certainly save money, time and effort in tapping the help of a recruitment agency rather than setting up its own hiring team, and all the more when they outsource in Manila. One of the best things that foreign investors like about the Philippines is it offers more affordable service fees compared to other English-speaking nations. The standard of living, salary rates, and business operations in the country are not as expensive as those in other countries which makes it a good partner and venue for foreign investors.

High-quality services

Despite the low rates though, Filipino recruiters have above average skills, knowledge, and expertise in their field. They are creative enough to explore different media and attract suitable people for a certain company’s job openings. Furthermore, recruitment outsourcing services in the Philippines are diverse and flexible. Recruitment agencies like Peoplehub offer specialized hiring options such as executive search and skill-based intensive market research to cater to industry-specific businesses.

Easy to work with people

Filipinos are friendly and accommodating by nature which makes it easier for them to communicate and work with people from different walks of life. As mentioned above, Filipinos are also good English speakers, hence, the language barrier is not an issue for most Westerners, and businessmen.

 

Companies who offer recruitment operations in Manila are now gaining recognition for their credibility and expertise. Mostly, it has to do with the Filipino people, who, themselves, are known to be globally competitive.
