UnionBank GlobalLinker and Jobstreet signed a Memorandum of Agreement for the partnership wherein UnionBank GlobalLinker members can exclusively avail of two job postings for free on Jobstreet. Members must be new to JobStreet to avail of the offer.
JobStreet Philippines Country Manager Dannah Majarocon and UnionBank Senior Vice President and Institutional Segment Marketing Head Dino Velasco joined the ceremony as signatories.
With this new initiative, UnionBank GlobalLinker creates more value for its members. Aside from helping them establish an online presence to be competitive in the digital age, and allowing them to connect with potential customers, financiers, suppliers, partners, and service providers through its network of more than 350,000 members, the platform can now also give them a head start when looking for prospective employees.
Availing of the exclusive offer will enable UnionBank GlobalLinker members to access a large and diverse pool of talent, in turn allowing them to find new team members much more easily. By hiring the right matches for their job openings, they can help their business grow and thrive.
“We believe that the best support that we can give [our MSMEs] is not just access to the platform, but access to the best Filipino talent possible. And with our partnership with UnionBank GlobalLinker, we are very, very excited to gain more access to more MSMEs and support them, and in turn, for UnionBank GlobalLinker to support MSMEs that are already on their platform,” said Dannah.
“Our advocacy is to help MSMEs in the country, and with a platform like UnionBank GlobalLinker, we create a level playing field,” said Dino. “We know that we need to partner with institutions like JobStreet where MSMEs can avail of services that make their businesses stronger and more competitive.”
