As Philippine economy continues to grow and becomes more competitive, are companies and businesses poised to keep up with the latest trends in talent acquisition and retention? <\/span><\/p>\n

This was the key issue at the 30<\/span>th<\/span> General Meeting of the Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP)<\/a><\/strong> held last July 20 at the Henry Sy Auditorium at St. Luke\u2019s Medical Center \u2013 Global City. Attended by CEOs, executives, and HR Managers of top organizations in the Philippines, the membership meeting focused on the current profile of the Filipino working population and several strategies in attracting and retaining talent. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kalibrr\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> very own co-founder and CEO Paul Rivera shared knowledge on how the technology wave and the startup scene in the country are defining how Filipino talents choose and apply for jobs<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his talk, Paul mentioned that Filipino talents today care about a company\u2019s vision and purpose \u2013 something that startup companies use to brand themselves. He suggested that for other companies to keep up, they must learn to blend human resource (HR) practices with sales and marketing strategies in order to attract the best talent. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRecruiting is the selling and marketing of careers. Recruiters are very good at screening but don\u2019t do a good job at selling the opportunity, \u201c he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

To do this, Paul recommended that companies own and establish their brand pages. This means leveraging on touch points like Facebook, LinkedIn, and the company career page to establish themselves as a brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, companies must also ensure that the application process is fast and has minimal friction in order to sustain the engagement of their candidates and provide an overall good experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJobseekers prefer to apply to responsive employers and recruiters. If X company has a slow application process, they begin to tell their friends and say maybe \u2018don\u2019t apply to this \u2018cause no one ever gets back to you,\u201d he remarked.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, given the traffic situation in the country, Paul suggested that companies today must allow flexibility in terms of work hours and locations for employees to remain productive and able to provide high quality work. <\/span><\/p>\n

Other speakers in the session were of Eric Riego de Dios, HR Director of Baker McKenzie, and Grace Sorongon, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of John Clements Consultants, Inc.<\/span><\/p>\n
