They often go above and beyond to meet expectations. 2. Fluency in English The Philippines is one of the largest English-speaking countries in Asia, with English being an official language. This makes communication seamless and effective. 3.

I'm head over heels for Loom these days! Its AI even writes summaries in Filipino now. It's not perfect yet, but hey, it's starting to recognize the language! I use Loom to give feedback on tasks that my team needs to review and approve. This way, they have a reference for similar scenarios in the future. So, instead of scheduling meetings to discuss and train, I simply use Loom! 🎥 #Efficiency #Teamwork #Loom

Outbound agency hack — How I hire top 1% people in the Philippines w/o ANY interviews. [🏴‍☠️ bootleg guide for commenters] At Clay Bootcamp my two team members Flory May Reyes and Glaidel Buzon get daily praise from students and people often ask me how I found such great employees. In the video I spill my secrets🕵️, and talk with Shelane from OnlineJobs.ph: A few points from the video👇 ✅ Hire for intelligence, attitude, and habits (not skills) Intelligent people with great attitude and great habits will learn the skills in no time. (Since Clay is an important skill for us, and Clay’s so new, it’s virtually impossible to hire experts for it anyways) Top 1% people will help you roll with the punches as your business changes. This is how I was able to pivot from Claygency to Clay Bootcamp and have Flory and Glaidel change their roles. ✅ Hiring without any live interviews is unique but I like it because: • It allows me time to think and ask thoughtful questions to candidates • It allows me to observe responsiveness over a series of days • It allows thoughtful candidates to shine (because they have time to think) • It’s much more efficient to screen via written text instead of calls ✅ You’ve got to “sell” your company to attract A-players • Don’t be the average American who treats people overseas as cogs in a machine • Talk about culture; I lean on growth and include a video of myself and employees to give a sense of the company vibe • Brand matters; create and lean on it if you have one ✅ Weed out poor fits, ASAP • Threaten reference checks all throughout the process (then check) • Do paid tests to see if people can learn something FAST for the first time If you find this and the video with Shelane intriguing, you might want my in-the-weeds bootleg video 🏴‍☠️ where Joe Rhew interviews me about my hiring process and I screenshare actual job posts, Clay tests, and in-the-weeds insights for hiring great people. To get the bootleg video 🏴‍☠️ , like this post, add me, and comment a creative version of “I want the bootleg video”!

🎉 Yay, I’ve just landed my first job on Upwork!🎉 It’s been a long and sometimes challenging journey, but today, I can finally say that all the effort, sleepless nights, and persistence have paid off. This moment is one I’ve been working towards for a while, and it feels surreal to have finally achieved it! When I first started on Upwork, the competition was tough, and standing out felt nearly impossible. I had to go back to the drawing board multiple times — revisiting my profile, adjusting my approach, learning new strategies, and constantly looking for ways to improve. Every challenge I faced became fuel to push harder, to learn more, and to keep believing that the right opportunity would come. Finally, I found a role that aligned perfectly with my skills and interests, and I poured my energy into crafting a proposal that reflected my experience and passion. Now here I am, ready to dive into this new chapter of my career with excitement and determination! This journey wouldn’t be complete without acknowledging Chizzym Bourdelon Marcus and Amarachi Ukanwoke, who were my constant pillars of support. Your encouragement and advice helped me stay focused and positive, even when things got tough. I’m incredibly grateful to have you both by my side. While this journey wasn’t always easy, it has definitely been worth it. Every challenge along the way has only made me stronger, and I’m so grateful for the lessons I’ve learned in the process. This is just the beginning for me, and I’m eager to take on more opportunities, build more connections, and continue growing as a freelancer. The hustle isn’t over, and I’m ready for whatever comes next. 💪 Let the job offers keep rolling in! #UpworkSuccess #FirstJobOnUpwork #FreelancerLife #GrowthMindset #OpenToWork #VirtualAssistant #NeverGiveUp #CareerMilestone #UpworkJourney #VA #Freelancer #Availabletowork

The Philippines is my favorite place to hire software developers. After working with hundreds of them, here are my top 5 reasons. 1. English fluency Most people don't realize the Philippines is the 3rd largest English speaking country in the world. Most people (60+%) there speak English, except for my in-laws, sadly. 🤷‍♂️ English is always essential because software development is always about communication! 2. Education Having your kids go to college is a massive source of pride in the Philippines. The country has many affordable and excellent schools, and the population is very well-educated. 3. Western Culture Their culture is very similar to the United States. From my experience, they know more about American movies than they do Filipino movies. 90% of the population is Catholic. They are some of the most festive and happy people in the world. They will out-party you! 4. Cost of living The cost of living in the Philippines is about 5x cheaper than in the United States. This is why so many people retire there, in addition to the perfect weather and tropical environment. The lower cost of living makes hiring developers 60-70% less. 5. Work ethic As a developing country, the Philippines can be a tough place to live. However, this has created a very resilient and hard-working culture. There is enormous pride and responsibility for supporting their families. --- Need to scale your team with top talent from the Philippines? Full Scale can help!
