Looking to hire skilled workers in Philippines for your overseas operations? Praxis International is your dedicated direct recruitment partner, giving employers around the world structured, compliant, and efficient access to the Philippines’ most qualified workforce.
We specialise exclusively in the direct recruitment of Filipino skilled workers, managing the full process from sourcing to deployment so you get the right people, on time, every time.
What is Direct Recruitment
Direct recruitment for Filipino workers is a hiring arrangement in which an overseas employer recruits skilled workers in the Philippines directly through a licensed Philippine recruitment agency, without going through a third-party manpower broker or additional intermediary.
In this arrangement, the employer works directly with Praxis International as the licensed recruitment agency. We source, screen, and process candidates specifically for your requirements, under a job order that is approved and verified by the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW).
This approach gives employers greater control over candidate selection, faster processing timelines, stronger compliance assurance, and a clearer line of accountability throughout the recruitment process.
Direct hire through a licensed agency like Praxis is the most straightforward and legally sound way to recruit skilled workers in the Philippines for overseas deployment.
