Founded in 2010, initially as Manila Recruitment, our executive search and headhunting firm quickly branched out into servicing other regions in the Philippines. Cebu has long been our second largest market, and over the years we have developed an unrivalled database of candidates who trust us with their career moves in Cebu, the Visayas and Mindanao. Accordingly, Cebu Recruitment was born and became a leading Recruitment Agency based in Cebu City.

Cebu Recruitment has now become the first choice provider of professional headhunting and recruitment agency services in Cebu. With clients using us to find executive and management talent as well as rare IT and any specialized candidates for roles based in Cebu, the Visayas and Mindanao regions.

The market for highly skilled talent has become increasingly sophisticated in Vis-Min over the last several years as companies establish larger operations out of the congested Metro Manila area to develop talent in regional offices across the Philippines. The Vis-Min region traditionally started developing mass recruitment agency requirements several years ago when the BPO companies began to open facilities in key cities such as Cebu City, Iloilo, Bacolod, Davao, and Cagayan De Oro. More recently we have seen IT recruitment and technical recruitment in Cebu City and Davao grow as hiring for software developers comes into higher demand across the Visayas and Mindanao regions. Furthermore, executive search and recruitment for managers (managerial recruitment) has also been in high demand as regional and multinational corporations establish headquarter operations in Cebu and other key cities to service the Vis-min region.

As a leading, professional recruitment agency in Cebu, we have noticed that the days of placing a simple job board advertisement and receiving tons of qualified replies from candidates are disappearing. Companies looking to hire no longer have the luxury of quality candidates applying en-mass to their job postings. This is because the majority of the top executives, managers and IT staff and software developers in Cebu and Davao are already employed. In a more competitive market they are already earning strong salaries and are receiving competitive benefits and bonuses. This means there are not many quality, active candidates on the job boards anymore. Therefore, a new approach to find and hire the top talent has to be taken. This has led to many clients engaging the services of a recruitment agency in Cebu and Davao to achieve the hiring results they need.

At Cebu Recruitment we have your specialized recruitment needs covered. Our team of highly trained, professional headhunters has access to our database of over 100,000 executives, managers, experts. software developers and IT specialists in Cebu, the Visayas, and Mindanao. Additionally, each of our recruiters is internationally trained and certified in the latest passive talent sourcing strategies and online tools for headhunters. All of our training has been especially adapted to sourcing talent within the Filipino job market. Each recruiter is also highly networked within the communities of professionals from which they source talent from. They operate and participate in community outreach programs where they provide free career advice to professionals at networking events, via blogs, social media, and personal consultations. For this reason, our headhunters in Cebu are not just viewed as people who “poach’ from their industry specialization, but rather they are viewed as active community participants. This means that when we pick up the phone to call the top, passive candidates for our clients, the candidates answer the phone, and we get results for you.

Our passive talent sourcing capabilities, combined with our commitment to innovation in headhunting methodology and technology, ensures we can reach a further 70% of the market for candidates than other recruitment agencies in Cebu or internal HR teams in the region, who traditionally rely heavily on job boards and LinkedIn. When you add our unique understanding of bigger picture business drivers and our deeply consultative, relationship driven approach, we can ensure to fill your toughest recruitment needs in Cebu, the Visayas and Mindanao (Vis-Min).
