Graduate Recruitment
Metro Manila, National Capital Region, Philippines
Summary
More than a job and profession, it has been and always will be my
advocacy to help both the organization I'm connected with and
candidates to find what they are looking for. For organizations - in
search for high-caliber talents who will contribute to its success;
and candidates - in looking for the opportunity that closely, if not
perfectly, match their skills and interests.
"Fulfilling" is an understatement to describe what it feels like to be
successful at my job. Having been a recruiter for more than a decade
gave me the chance to help out thousands of job-seekers land their
dream jobs in their dream companies.
Currently exploring? Let me help you. :)
