Why The Philippines?

Our clients can’t get enough of their Filipino workers. Experienced, hardworking, loyal, skilled, with a constant willingness to learn – their friendly attitude makes them a natural fit for the Australian workforce.

Most of our workers have a minimum of five years’ experience in their field and two years’ international work experience. Working overseas is embedded in the Filipino culture and these workers are known as Overseas Foreign Workers – working overseas is what they do.

In a tight labour market, our Filipino workers form a critical role, giving employers a guaranteed, reliable and stable work force.

Ethical and Transparent

Safe, ethical and efficient, we operate in full accordance with both the Australian and Philippines governments. We’ll take care of everything from getting your Standard Business Sponsorship Philippine Government Accreditation, to ensuring your workers wellbeing in Australia. We have one fee that covers every aspect of the process meaning no additional or ongoing costs and no surprises.

English Speaking, trade tested workers

We match workers to your exact needs via our Skill Assessment Centre in Manila, and a partnership with the largest English school in the Philippines. You can be sure of recruiting skilled workers with the right attitude, international experience. Plus, with English as the second official language of the Philippines, there are few language barrier issues.

Visas and Immigration

The largest team of employer-facing Registered Migration Agents in Australia, along with our Manila-based agents, manage all visa and immigration aspects for your workers, ensuring a smooth and quick process. Relax knowing everything is taken care of.

Our specialized brand, Pinoy Visas, focuses on assisting Filipino workers in Australia. We offer various services to both Filipino workers and organizations hiring them, including workplace wellbeing meetings, immigration updates, and webinars. Our Pinoy Visas team is fluent in Tagalog and can guide your workforce on residency pathways and family reunification in Australia.

Here’s what our clients have to say

Fletcher Construction / Higgins

“I’ve been fortunate enough to be in the Philippines this week with my Higgins team mates, alongside our partners Working In. We have interviewed 160 candidates and conducted over 75 assessments – ranging from screeding and raking to compactor, truck, loader, excavator, roller, paver, and grader operation. We’ve met some really talented candidates – our future Higgins colleagues! Thanks for such a well organised trip. What an experience.”

Turner and Growers

“Our Company became involved with Working In in early 2019 as we looked at ways to help us combat the shortfall of professional class 5 drivers in NZ. From the beginning, it felt like we were in a partnership with WIR, not just a client. The team looked after all our needs, providing CV’s, answered many questions and provided us with a solution to our problem. The team left us with no stones unturned right from the outset. I would have no hesitation in recommending Working In to any Employer who wants to recruit overseas with an Ethical Recruitment Company.”

Dominion Constructions LTD

“Right from the outset Working In have been professional and transparent in every step, in particular their in-house visa team has been exceptional, partnering with us to make the process as easy as possible. Each worker is outstanding, and we intend to recruit more as construction demand increases. I can without reservation, endorse Working In to any employer wanting to source overseas labour.”

CPB

“The support of Working In has contributed to the success of our delivery targets – they have quickly become a pivotal supplier to CPB Contractors Pty Ltd in New Zealand. The quality of candidates and their service delivery model, that includes migration assistance and pastoral care, is market leading. Working In operates as a highly ethical and professional organization that consistently exceeds their client’s expectations.”

District Health Board

“We have worked with Working In for the last 3 years on a number of projects, to fill shortages in the healthcare sector. Their knowledge of the market and technical expertise has led to excellent hiring outcomes – with more to come in the future”
