How we recruit

Being where the talent is.

When you recruit from the Philippines, you should not have to wait until your European partner organises another trip to Manila. We do not visit the Philippines to recruit. We are there — permanently. Through our own recruitment infrastructure and team on the ground, recruitment happens every day.

Every day sourcing & trade tests3 ways to take partOwn DMW-licensed agency · Makati
01

On site in Makati

You fly in, sit at the trade test and interview the same day. Best for large cohorts or roles where you want to see the workshop yourself.

02

Live online

You join the trade test by video from your office, watch it happen, and interview successful candidates immediately afterwards. This is how most of our clients work today.

03

Fully delegated

Our team runs sourcing, testing and interviews to your brief. You receive recorded trade tests, recorded interviews and written evaluations, then decide.

No recruitment missions. A running line.

Most European agencies recruit from the Philippines in campaigns: a trip is planned, a batch of employers is bundled, candidates are gathered for that week. If your vacancy opens between trips, you wait. We built the opposite: a permanent team in Makati that sources, tests and interviews continuously. When demand appears, recruitment starts — not next month, now.

Field note · 4 September 2026

A Czech client needed skilled grinders. Candidates were sourced and prepared locally, practical trade tests took place at our facilities in the Philippines, and the client joined remotely from the Czech Republic to watch the tests live and interview the successful candidates immediately afterwards. Brief to interviews without anyone boarding a plane.

What the permanent presence changes for you

  • Speed. Sourcing starts on the day the brief arrives; trade-tested shortlists in two to four weeks for most trades.
  • Flexibility. One worker or forty; on site, live or delegated; your calendar, not ours.
  • Continuity. Replacement, second wave, new role — the same team, the same workshop, no restart.
  • Verification you can see. Practical tests for welders, CNC operators, fabricators, sheet-metal workers and other trades — watched live or delivered recorded.

The route, end to end

  1. You brief us: roles, headcount, destination country, start date.
  2. Our team in Manila sources and runs practical trade tests at our facilities.
  3. You take part — on site, live online, or via recorded tests and interviews.
  4. Selected workers sign your employment contract; the Migrant Workers Office verifies it before departure.
  5. We coordinate your country's permit process — under your power of attorney where the law allows it — or through a licensed immigration adviser where the destination regulates immigration advice (Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom); departure follows the permit.

The employer is always your company, directly. We are the recruitment and process partner on both sides of the route — never the employer.
