SINGAPORE-BASED hiring platform Bossjob, developed by Yolo Technology Pte. Ltd., has unveiled new features aimed at broadening its user base in the Philippine­s.

The platform now enables recruiters to connect with talents, providing users access to remote job opportunit­ies, Bossjob said in an e-mailed statement.

“With our new internatio­nal feature and dedicated remote jobs section, we’re not just expanding horizons, but we’re actively dismantlin­g barriers to global employment and fostering a more inclusive, accessible job market,” said Bossjob Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Anthony Garcia.

Bossjob said this newly added feature will also allow companies to reduce recruitmen­t costs and streamline cross-border hiring processes.

It noted that the new feature will also allow employers to have presence in unsupporte­d regions.

The career-hiring platform said it also launched a remote job section for the Philippine­s, citing a 2022 report issued by financial services platform Payoneer where it showed that the freelance economy in the country has recorded rapid growth.

“In a rapidly evolving job market, Bossjob is at the forefront of the shift towards a project-based economy in the Philippine­s. Our data shows not just a trend but a reflection of a deeper change in work preference­s,” Mr. Garcia said.

Bossjob said it is targeting to solidify its presence in Southeast Asia by growing its users to more than 30 million by 2026.

The company aims to capture wider reach in the Philippine­s, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Japan, it added.
