TAGUM CITY, Feb 15 (PIA) -Southern Mindanao has topped the number of jobs posted at Philjobnet with 450,000 jobs posted online from January to December 2012 even as the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) XI urged establishments to register their companies with the jobs portal.
Philjobnet, the official jobs portal of the government of the Philippines, was specifically mentioned by President Benigno Aquino III when he visited Davao City February 5, because of its role in matching job supply and demand in the country.
From 40,000 jobs published when it started, it is now hosting 230,000 jobs and 117,000 applicants.
“We have accredited 1,200 companies from Southern Mindanao as of last year and around 165 companies as of January this year,” DOLE Senior Labor and Employment Officer Lariele P. Arce said.
She said registration with the job portal can be done easily but DOLE has to verify the companies applying for registration. We just want to make sure that these are legitimate companies and job hirings, she added.
Arce said companies have to show proof of their business permit as well as other documents that may be required from the for the approval of their registration.
“Companies that are already our partners in job fairs are automatically registered with the job portal since we already have pertinent data on them,” she said.
It is important that we screen the companies first before their job openings are posted online considering there are many unscrupulous companies with fake job offers today, she said. This is one of the best ways to protect our job seekers, she added.
She said registration with Philjobnet is advantageous both for the applicants and the companies because their requirements and qualifications can be matched by the portal.(lovely carillo)
