Employer guide to hiring Filipino workers through a DMW-licensed Philippine recruitment agency.
Start by defining the positions, headcount, salary and benefits, qualifications, worksite and target deployment date. A DMW-licensed Philippine recruitment agency can then review employer accreditation, job-order requirements, candidate sourcing, screening, interviews and Philippine-side processing.
Provide clear job titles, quantities, qualifications, experience, salary, benefits, working hours, contract duration, worksite and desired deployment schedule.
The employer and Philippine agency coordinate the documents required for accreditation and the manpower request/job order. See the employer accreditation guide.
ELB can source candidates, screen against employer criteria, organize shortlists and coordinate online or in-person interviews and trade testing where relevant.
Selected workers proceed through the applicable documentation, medical, contract, government and deployment steps. Exact steps depend on the destination and role.

Yes. ELB can source and screen Filipino candidates based on the employer-approved requirement.
The cost of recruiting Filipino workers depends on the agreed scope, destination, occupations and headcount. Ask ELB for an itemized employer quotation that separates recruitment services from estimated third-party costs, identifies who is responsible for each item, and states exclusions, payment milestones and validity. A request involving selected workers should identify which services are still needed.
For budgeting, ask which document preparation, assessment, medical, visa, travel and other project expenses are included or excluded, where applicable. These are quotation questions, not a universal fee schedule or a statement that every item applies to every worker.
State the country and exact worksite in each requirement. ELB has a dedicated Saudi Arabia recruitment page and Saudi employer guide. If your project is in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman or another destination, ask ELB to confirm service availability and the applicable process for that employer and occupation. A Saudi checklist should not be reused as a universal country checklist.
Combine the country with the actual work: welders for a fabrication project, electricians for building installation, or engineering staff for project supervision. Add the work environment and assessment criteria so candidate screening follows the role rather than the job title alone.
Send your company, country, positions, headcount, compensation and target deployment date. ELB can review the requirement and identify the applicable next steps.
