Jobstreet by SEEK is bolstering its support for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by collaborating with local government units (LGUs). The platform has introduced various capacity-building programs, including business talks, summits, and initiatives, to equip MSMEs with the necessary resources to attract talent for expansion.
A survey by Boston Consulting Group and the Department of Trade and Industry reveals that 46 percent of MSMEs in the Philippines are currently facing a talent crisis as they strive to grow their workforce.
In Pasig, Jobstreet launched FREE Lite Job Ads and an AI-assisted job ad creation tool to facilitate small businesses in finding suitable talent more easily. The company has also provided training to hirers in Quezon City, teaching them how to leverage digital recruitment tools, gain entrepreneurial insights, and network within the local business community to tackle workforce requirements as their businesses expand.
Furthermore, Jobstreet has partnered with the PH Business Network to conduct personalized business clinics, offering MSMEs one-on-one consultations with business advisors and industry experts. These consultations cover practical recruitment solutions, free hiring tools, and employer resources, all aimed at making the hiring process more accessible and manageable for growing businesses.
Jobstreet emphasizes that supporting MSMEs is about more than just providing recruitment tools; it is about empowering entrepreneurs to build the "right team," which is crucial for constructing a stronger and more sustainable business. Dannah Majarocon, managing director of Jobstreet by SEEK in the Philippines, stated, "We believe that growing a business starts with having the right people behind it."
Through their partnerships and engagements with MSMEs, Jobstreet aims to make hiring more accessible and empower more Filipino businesses to grow confidently, supported by the right talent.
