According to JobStreet Philippines country manager Philip A. Gioca, the career fair is collaboration with the DTI is to help jobseekers gain freedom in jumpstarting new careers that blend well with their lifestyle and personal goals.

Gioca also described the Philippines to be in the middle of “The Great Reshuffle,” with workers quitting en masse as they had opted to reassess their careers and look for employment opportunities with better flexibility.

Based on JobStreet’s 2021 Decoding Global Talent report, 58 percent or 8,803 out of 15,178 surveyed Filipino respondents said they used to work completely on-site before the pandemic. By the end of 2020 or at the time of the survey, on-site workers were down to 32 percent.

The survey also found that if given the choice, 49 percent of these workers would opt for a completely remote arrangement, while 48 percent would settle for a hybrid setup. Only 4 percent would choose to work completely on-site. In a different study conducted by Cisco, 92.2 percent of the 28,000 Filipino employee-respondents claimed they were happier in a hybrid work environment.
