What is Direct Recruitment?
Direct recruitment 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.
You work directly with Praxis International as the licensed recruitment agency. We source, screen and process candidates specifically for your requirements, under a job order 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 most straightforward and legally sound way to recruit skilled workers in the Philippines for overseas deployment.
