As entrepreneurs, the founders of FindTalent.ph spent countless hours sifting through freelance marketplaces to hire remote workers. They struggled to identify qualified candidates in a slow and inconsistent process.

Discovering a highly skilled pool of Filipino professionals, they built a platform combining AI and human screening to simplify global hiring.

😟 Problem

Small and medium-sized businesses lack dedicated recruiters to navigate the remote hiring landscape. Existing platforms offer unverified candidates, forcing employers to waste time screening applicants without guaranteed quality.

Hiring in the Philippines remains highly fragmented across broad freelance marketplaces and expensive traditional agencies.

💡 Solution

FindTalent.ph combines AI matching with recruiter verification to streamline hiring. The platform offers several capabilities:

• AI matches employers with pre-screened Filipino workers based on skills, experience, and English proficiency.
• Voice note introductions allow companies to assess communication skills before scheduling interviews.
• Recruiters manually interview and score every candidate before they join the platform.
• A dashboard enables side-by-side candidate comparison and portfolio reviews.
