Online job portal JobStreet by SEEK reported Tuesday that the online employment marketplace’s hirer base doubled from an average of 20,000 employers pre-pandemic to 40,000 this year, increasing the jobs available for Filipinos seeking employment.
“We are very grateful for the hirers who have been trusting us throughout this journey. It gives us the inspiration to do so much more for them—giving them more quality candidates and the best talents available in the market. This proves that through teamwork and passion for the mission of giving jobs to every Filipino, it can actually be achieved,” said JobStreet by SEEK country manager Philip Gioca.
