ILOILO CITY — The Public Employment Service Office (PESO) in Iloilo is conducting series of special recruitment activities (SRA) as two foreign employers eye to hire more or less 300 female nurses to work abroad.
The E-GMP International Corp. will join the first SRA on November 7 and will hire no less than 100 female nurses for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The second activity is scheduled on November 9-10 where the Industrial Personnel and Management Services Inc. (IPAMS) also seeking to hire not less than 200 female nurses for the United Kingdom (UK).
In an interview Tuesday, Francisco Heler Jr., head of PESO-Iloilo invited nurses, especially from Iloilo wanting to work abroad, to grab the chance during the series of SRAs to be held at the third floor of Iloilo Provincial Capitol.
“These are good agencies, so we hope that many nurses will apply and will be hired through the special recruitment activity,” he said.
Heler said the employers of these two foreign companies are coming to conduct the interview.
He assured that these companies are safe and not fake because they were able to ensure that they are in “good standing” based on the information from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration.
He added the monitoring of the company continues even during the conduct of SRA, especially that they are issuing no objection certificate to the company. “We do not want to put our jobseekers at risk,” he said.
However, Heler clarified that the SRAs are not only exclusive for the jobseekers in Iloilo but as applicants from other nearby provinces in Western Visayas are also welcome to join.
“This is open because through the years, we are networking with other PESO offices all throughout Region 6,” he said. (Cindy Ferrer/PNA)
