60% working Filipinos consume news, updates from social connections and job content daily

Candidates can also get first dibs on salary negotiation tips from seekMAX’s original series Salary Squad.

“Candidates need to continue upskilling not only for professional growth, but also for honing their soft skills which is what most industries look out for nowadays more than the candidate’s proficiency in their technical skills. Through seekMAX, they can learn new things, master their expertise, and be connected with industry experts as well as a supportive professional community,” shares Dannah Majarocon, JobStreet Philippines’ Managing Director.

With the ever-changing world of work, employees are expected to continuously learn new skills to adapt.

According to the recent Decoding the Digital Talent Challenge report by JobStreet, 75% of Filipinos who are willing to retrain professionally prefer self-studying, while 65% use digital learning platforms. Not only does seekMAX offer helpful career-related content, but it also makes upskilling and reskilling more accessible and attainable.
