Manpower Alliance Corporation
Employing Smart Recruitment Services for the Filipino Worker

By Romina Tobias

Since 1978, MANPOWER ALLIANCE CORP. (MAC) has been an instrument in the Filipinos’ transition from being dreamers, to productive workers abroad, and to becoming what most people would call, our modern day heroes.          

MAC has been the recipient of the “Top Performer Award” by the POEA (Philippine Overseas Employment Administration) twice, for its top-quality service in overseas manpower recruitment while upholding the rights and welfare of its workers. MAC’s rallying call is that they, “Recruit Smartly,” something Mr. Joel Jamias, Director of Business Development, firmly believes in. “We are very pro-active here at MAC. We are able to fully anticipate the situation by having complete understanding of all client requirements and the applicant’s needs. We aim for perfect job-matching while protecting the welfare of both parties.”   

As a POEA-registered recruitment agency and its commitment to the highest standards of excellence in manpower recruitment for over 30 years, MAC has successfully deployed engineers, nurses, construction workers, and other Filipino talents in North America, Asia, and the Middle East. In the recent years, MAC has focused its recruitment endeavors towards the huge demand for human resources in various industry sectors in Canada, most especially in the field of healthcare. Mr. Jamias adds, “Together with our partner, Raintree Healthcare Staffing, Inc. (based in New York), we are now opening more doors for Filipino Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) to fill in the great demand for LPNs in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. We are proud to say that the graduates of Practical Nursing schools in the Philippines can become LPNs in Manitoba, Canada either by accreditation or examination.”

MAC provides its applicants with full support not just in preparation and completion of pre-requisites such as medical exams, visa and other work permits, travel reservations, and other essential documents, but MAC also offers career counseling. Applicants are provided with information on current job market trends in various countries. And when needed, MAC also provides the services of counselors for both the applicant and the family staying in the Philippines. According to Mr. Jamias, “Even after deployment, we see to it that the communication lines between us and the workers remain open… Whatever problem they are facing, even if it’s just a case of homesickness, we are ready to listen and to help in any way we can.”
         
In addition, Mr. Jamias shares some important advice in approaching any recruitment agency. “First, be sure that the agency is accredited by the POEA. Second, be wary of those requiring upfront fees (this is not an SOP in legitimate agencies). And even before applying, know your rights as a Filipino, and as a worker… Also, the agency’s years of recruitment experience should speak for itself. Just like here at MAC, we take pride in our professionalism and integrity for over 3 decades now.”
