The Skydome at SM City North EDSA transformed into a major recruitment hub as the Healthcare Information Management Association of the Philippines (HIMAP) held its Career Summit 2025 in partnership with SM Supermalls, DICT, DOLE, and QC PESO.
Shared hopes, shared goals: A group of job seekers exchange notes on companies that best match their skills and aspirations.
About 25 companies from healthcare information management and ITBPM industries participated, interviewing around 1,000 job seekers.
