Great Experience

I recently worked with Manila Recruitment for a Marketing Manager search, and I appreciate their professionalism and transparency throughout the process. They provided a strong pool of candidates and communicated clearly at every stage.

What I value most is their honesty. They openly shared potential risks and salary expectations so I could make informed decisions. The coordination was smooth, and they were responsive whenever I had follow-up questions.

Overall, it was a positive experience, and I would recommend their services to business owners looking for quality candidates.

Fantastic experience from start to finish

We had a great experience working with the team at Manila Recruitment. After speaking with several agencies, they stood out because they truly understood our hiring needs and took the time to explain their process clearly.

Communication was prompt and professional from the start, and once we began working together we were assigned a dedicated recruiter who managed the process smoothly. Within a few weeks we received several strong candidates and were able to successfully engage new team members.

A special thank you to Patrick Fernandez and Lawrence Barrett for their support throughout the process. It was an efficient and very positive experience overall. We would definitely work with Manila Recruitment again for future hiring needs in the Philippines.

I had a great experience with Manila…

I had a great experience with Manila Recruitment. The entire process was smooth, professional, and well-coordinated from start to finish. Communication was clear, and they made sure I was guided every step of the way.

Special thanks to Ms. Camille Estrella, my recruiter, for being incredibly supportive, responsive, and encouraging throughout the process. She made everything feel less overwhelming and was always ready to assist whenever I had questions.

I truly appreciate the opportunity and highly recommend Manila Recruitment to anyone looking for a reliable and professional recruitment partner.

Top notch recruiting agency

We had a great experience working with Arvin, Shaira, and the team at Manila Recruitment.

We needed to fill a very niche Senior Technical Sales Manager role in the Philippines, and our requirements were far from typical. We were looking for someone with real sales experience and hands-on exposure to either the livestock or food processing industries, plus a solid scientific understanding of animal health or food safety. It’s a tough combination to find.

Before working with Manila Recruitment, our searches kept turning up a wide range of candidates, but very few who were actually a good technical or industry fit.

Manila Recruitment clearly “got it” from the start. They didn’t just send over resumes — they screened and found someone who was genuinely qualified, understood the industry, and fit the role extremely well. What really surprised us was how quickly they managed to do this, given how specialized the position was. I honestly don’t know how they source their candidates, but whatever they’re doing works.

If you’re trying to hire for a hard-to-fill or highly specialized role, I’d absolutely recommend Manila Recruitment. They understand niche requirements and deliver results without wasting time. They also communicated extremely well, providing weekly status updates for any additional candidates they may find.

Highly recommended, especially for foreign entities looking for talent in the Philippines.

Excellent partner for hiring senior technical talent

We engaged Manila Recruitment to help us find a Tech Lead after struggling to attract top-tier candidates through our in-house process, particularly for roles beyond senior level.

Manila Recruitment exceeded our expectations on every front. They screened a large volume of candidates on our behalf, saving us significant time and effort, and presented us with a few excellent options who were genuinely aligned with both our technical requirements and team culture.

We interviewed their shortlisted candidates and successfully hired a Tech Lead who has been exceptional. He's integrated seamlessly into the team and is already making a tangible impact on our projects.

We were particularly impressed with the speed of the hiring process and, more importantly, the quality of candidates they sourced. We'll definitely be working with Manila Recruitment again for future software engineering roles.

An Amazing Experience

At Colony Construction, we have had an amazing experience with Manila Recruitment. Lawrence and his team have taken it on personally to find the best staff out there, screen them thoroughly according to our rigorous criteria and they don't give up until the job is done, the hire has been made and everybody is satisfied. I recommend them to anyone looking to hire quality staff in the Philippines!

Hiring offshore can be daunting but the team at Manila Recruitment - from the salesperson to the recruitment rep - are all friendly and keen to assist you to find the right person. They are very process driven and also offer a guarantee if the person you hire doesn't work out. We are very happy with the people we have hired and would definitely use Manila Recruitment again.
