LEADING online job portal Jobstreet by SEEK is making a bold statement to jobseekers in the Visayas and Mindanao: your next big career move doesn’t require a plane ticket to Manila.
As its “Find the Job You Love” initiative goes local, Jobstreet by SEEK is highlighting its commitment to connecting local talent with top-tier employers in their own backyards, proving that professional growth and staying close to home can go hand-in-hand.
Employment growth in local communities
For years, the prevailing narrative for many talented individuals in the provinces has been that success is found elsewhere. Jobstreet by SEEK is redefining this through its #FindTheJobYouLove campaign, which features regional success stories that prove local opportunities are just as robust and rewarding.
In its recent video series, the campaign highlights partnerships with regional industry leaders like Treasure Island Industrial Corp. in Cebu City. These collaborations emphasize a “people-first” culture, where employee well-being and local community growth are prioritized.
“We get to take care of our employees, value them, respect them, and care for them,” said Kristine Pimentel, HR Manager for Treasure Island Industrial Corp.
Local jobs, global standards
By partnering with regional employers, Jobstreet by SEEK ensures that jobseekers in the Visayas and Mindanao have access to diverse career paths and global-standard benefits without the need for relocation. These local roles offer competitive advantages such as professional development programs, comprehensive HMOs, and modern work setups that allow talent to thrive in fields they excel in, from engineering and tech to marketing, all while staying close to their roots.
Currently, Jobstreet by SEEK has an average of over 10,000 monthly job vacancies in Visayas and Mindanao, including roles in BPO, call center, IT-enabled services, retail and merchandise, property and real estate, and general and wholesale trading industries, to name a few.
“We believe in the potential of our local talent. By providing them with the right tools, a supportive environment, and opportunities for advancement, we are not just building a company; we are empowering individuals to reach their full potential right here in their home province,” said Stanley Go, Virginia Food, Inc.’s Vice President for Sales & Marketing shared.
Furthermore, these opportunities provide a deeper sense of purpose by allowing candidates to contribute directly to the economic development of their provinces while achieving their personal goals and maintaining a better work-life balance.
“This regional focus complements Jobstreet by SEEK’s broader mission to recognize that a career is more than just a paycheck, but it’s about finding a place where you belong. Whether it’s a dedicated professional building a career in Cebu or a specialist in Mindanao, the platform aims to empower individuals to achieve success both inside and outside the workplace,” said Joey Yusingco, Jobstreet by SEEK Philippines Marketing Head.
This initiative highlights the unique stories of those who have made significant strides in their communities, proving that the right opportunity is often closer than one might think.
