Here is an update on Praebeo today.  They’ve opened up their BPO Executive Search division.

Okay, so it’s another head hunter amongst the dozen (even more) of recruitment firms in the Philippines, so what’s new?

The managing partners of the company has been in the industry since it penetrated the market years back and because of their experience, they noticed one missing ingredient — matching based on the needs of the client AND the candidate.  Headhunters normally match candidates based on qualifications or skill set and experience. That’s the problem – it stops there.  What happens after placement is that the candidate then resigns after a few months leaving the company to look for a replacement. Goodbye investment.

With Praebeo, they take this into consideration.  Their database is growing and they take the time to meet the candidates and ask for their career goals.  Ask what is important to them and would make them move and stay (other than compensation).  As for the client, an orientation and specific questions are asked on the expectations of the role, environment and culture is included. Sometimes, even the superior is asked of his expectations and management style to check if there is a fit.

With this approach, it is a “win-win” situation for both parties.

They are currently looking for candidates to add to their database, so you can submit your resume’ to bpo@praebeoresources.com.  For potential clients, you can also contact them through the same email.
