As a recruitment company, one of our mandate is to provide jobs to unemployed Filipinos. In order to fulfill this mandate we chose to seek Job Openings Abroad.
To give you an idea, the total labor force in the Philippines is at 38.9 million. This are skilled people ready to fill different job positions in the country.
Unfortunately, there isn’t enough work to accommodate everybody. The unemployment rate is at 7.3 percent. That is more than 2.8 million plus who are not able to feed themselves and their family due to lack of available job opportunities.
The underemployment rate is at 11.6 percent or more than 6 million workers. Underemployed workers are those who have jobs that does not maximize their full potential and earning capacity.
One of the solution to this problem is to find jobs abroad. It has its difficulties but it also has its advantage. Money earned abroad have more purchasing power when used within the country. There are jobs abroad where you can earn in one month what would take you six months within the country.
Recruitment Agencies are not generally seen well. This is because of the unscrupulous acts of a few who take advantage of the uninformed job seekers.
Here at RRJM, we do our best to remain profitable to satisfy our share holders, our own employees, and our clients (both employers and filipino job seekers). But as we go about our work we are satisfied that we are fulfilling a social responsibility. That is to provide jobs for those who need them.
