Workers from the Philippines for jobs in Bulgaria.
Recruitment, relocation and accommodation

The Philippines is one of the world's largest English-speaking labour markets and a country with a long tradition of overseas employment. Candidates are used to international standards, hold documented qualifications (TESDA certificates) and show low turnover – for an employer this means a shorter onboarding period and a stable team.

1) Needs analysis and job description, 2) initial pre-screening of candidates in the Philippines – verification of CVs, references and TESDA certificates (video calls with the employer and in-person interviews are available at the company's explicit request), 3) coordination of travel formalities with our partners in the Philippines, 4) relocation: flight from Manila, accommodation and airport pickup, 5) onboarding at the workplace and ongoing coordinator support.

Candidates realistically arrive within 1–3 months of signing the contract. The exact timeline depends on the capacity of public authorities, consular services, embassies and the visa system. On the Philippine side the main factors are candidate verification and travel document preparation. For larger groups the stages overlap, so later batches arrive faster.

Recruitment is carried out by the licensed agency Praxis International Staffing and Management – our partner in the Philippines. They are responsible for sourcing and pre-screening candidates and verifying TESDA certificates.

The cost consists of the Philippine procedure and medical checks, the flight ticket, accommodation and the agency's fee. We present the exact budget in the offer before the process starts – with no hidden fees. Use our cost calculator for an indicative figure.

Our initial pre-screening is standard – we verify CVs, TESDA certificates and references, leaving the final candidate selection to the employer. Video interviews and in-person meetings are organised at the company's explicit request. Practical tests are a separately charged service – we organise them on site in Manila if the employer wishes.

Yes. English is an official and teaching language in the Philippines, so the vast majority of candidates communicate fluently. Health and safety instructions and on-the-job training can be delivered in English from day one, and we teach basic Bulgarian during onboarding.

Manufacturing and the food industry, logistics and warehousing, construction and finishing works, welding and metalworking, hospitality and catering, and care work. These are sectors where availability, shift work and consistent quality matter most.

Yes. Employment conditions – pay, working hours, position – must be no worse than for Bulgarian workers in a comparable role. This is a standard we build into every contract we help arrange.

It is standard for accommodation to be provided by the employer or the agency. We arrange tickets, airport transfer, accommodation meeting sanitary requirements and help with local registration and a bank account.

During the agreed probationary period we provide a free replacement of the worker. Throughout the contract, one coordinator supports both the company and the worker, addressing issues before they lead to turnover.
