TAYLOR'S VISA AND TRAVEL CONSULTANCY-MANILA

Its been very popular among Filipinos this certain term "Direct Hire".  However, many still wondering if this is legal or not.  Basically, as a country of so many Overseas workers, we are aware that if it is not registered at the POEA...then it is illegal.  First, we have to understand what a direct-hire is all about.  For my own opinion direct hire is when an employer hired you directly without passing an agency or a recruitment.  Direct hiring is not illegal, basically.  However we need to be educated that though you got hired...as you will work outside the country it is best to be registered at the POEA.  Regardless you are hired by an agency nor an employer directly it is safer that you registered your self at this agency were you will be assured of your security, the job that was offered to you and same as the you are properly documented as an overseas worker.

Nowadays, many job offer from the internet and as we know alot of us will grab the best chance to accept the offer.  Yes, there are some offers that are legitimate, moreover we need to be aware of the rampant scams on job overseas.  What is the best way then to secure yourself from this direct hiring?  Well, we need to understand that when we are hired directly an employer must not CHARGE anything to us.  It is the employers responsibility to pay for the VISA, medical and airfare.   And most importanly YOU must require your employer to get you an approved LMO (Labour-Market-Opinion) or any related department from the host country.  Yes, this will take awhile.  Sometime it may take seven months and alot of paper works to be done.  But then it is better as this will assure you that you are hired with a  legitimate job.  That you will be paid properly and most importanly, you are safe.  Many of us had experienced applying for a Work Visa but being denied as the consul does not see you leaving the country after the job or they do not believe that it is alegitimate job.  It is because we tend to forget to get LMO.  The employers must prove that hiring you as a FORIEGN WORKER in their country is a need,  that you are not getting the position from the locals and that the offer is genuine.  Many jobs abroad, many offers we will get; but getting an approved LMO is not that much.  Be carefull and always think of your safety and your security.  It is better that you wait for your LMO and verification from the POEA rather than leaving the country with uncertainty.  A proper visa means a safe journey to your future and a security for your love ones that you will leave behind.
