SM renewed its strategic partnership with Jobstreet by SEEK, one of the leading digital employment platforms in the country. The continued collaboration strengthens both physical and online recruitment channels, helping connect more Filipinos to the jobs they deserve.
Stories from the ground: Real lives, real impact
Across the 20 participating SM malls and venues, heartwarming success stories emerged. From first-time job hunters who landed their dream roles to new opportunities, the on-ground atmosphere was electric with hope.
“Mabilis ang process ng Job Fair, at saka lahat andito na. Yung mga requirements na kailangan sa paghahanap ng trabaho, nandito na. Malaking bagay po 'yun,” said a hired-on-the-spot room attendant.
Partners praised the seamless logistics, heavy foot traffic, and presence of government booths from the Social Security System (SSS), Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), and Pag-IBIG, making the process smoother for both applicants and recruiters.
Government booths provide on-site support, streamlining the application process for both job searchers and recruiters.
