Globe unit unveils platform for job seekers, employers
Asticom Group of companies, a shared services provider under the Globe Group, said on monday it has launched a platform that aims to “help address persistent unemployment and underemployment in the Philippines.”
Called Acquiro Solutions and Tech Inc., the platform will streamline job hunting among job seekers and the search for talents among recruiters and companies.
“As part of the Asticom group, Acquiro shares our purpose of improving people’s lives. With its launch, we hope to continue to help our fellow Filipinos by opening up opportunities and removing the barriers that separate talents from potential employers,” said Mharicar Castilloreyes, Asticom Group of Companies President and CEO.
She said Acquiro aims to help reduce unemployment and underemployment, saying that these remain “a concern.” As of November 2022, 4.2 percent of the population or about 2.18 million Pinoys are unemployed, while 14.4 percent or 7.16 million are underemployed.
Acquiro will help connect employers and talents through a technology-driven platform, creating a seamless one-stop shop for job seekers and organizations. The company will bridge recruitment, onboarding and training processes, providing sustainable solutions for people and business needs.
On top of the more traditional workforce services and solutions, Acquiro specializes in providing a range of role options from director level to project-based talents, including gig-workers, independent contractors, freelancers, fractional workers, seasonal talents, and interns, offering flexibility for job seekers and hunters alike.
“The shift brought about by the pandemic required us to innovate and solve real-world problems, especially unemployment and lost opportunities. Acquiro helps the community adapt to these changes. We do this by modernizing workforce solutions and helping businesses meet current industry needs. More than this, Acquiro aims to create a purposeful future,” Ged Gutierrez, Deputy General Manager of Acquiro said.
