More job opportunities shift to provinces – JobStreet
More job opportunities are starting to pick up in Cebu, Iloilo, and Davao, said Philip Gioca, country manager of JobStreet Philippines.
Gioca also noted that as of March 2021, job offerings based in Central Visayas grew by nine per cent, Western Visayas recently jumped to 44 per cent increase in job openings, while Davao Region reported a 26 per cent increase in job postings.
Due to this demand, JobStreet launched microsites for Cebu, Iloilo, and Davao, making thousands of jobs available for browsing.
“We’ve also observed that candidates from major provinces have increased their activities in terms of platform web site visits, which is why we really targeted to promote local employment and provide them valuable support in their career through their own dialect,” Gioca said.
Further, based on the platform’s latest Global Talent Survey, 96% of Filipino respondents want to continue working from home even after the pandemic.
