In today’s very competitive global market, finding the right talent can be likened to the experience of searching for a needle in a haystack. Great talent now is not only defined by technical requirements, but as well their ability to identify with cultural sensitivities, values, and vision. Diversity, after all, has become pivotal in today’s time. Luckily, you don’t have to tread this haystack alone. International manpower agencies are here to help you reach beyond national borders, and streamline your efforts of finding the talent that exists on the other side of the world.
But what exactly are international manpower agencies, and how do they work? Let’s dive in and explore their significance in the modern workforce landscape.

Nailing the Scam: Identifying Illegal Manpower Agencies
We understand how eager you must be to partner with trusted international manpower agencies. However, we want to warn you about the menace that is illegal recruitment. International employers must be extra vigilant when navigating the foreign market. These fraudulent entities threaten job seekers and present substantial risks to international employers.
Here are our expert tips on how to identify these illegal agencies:
Verify Their License
Legitimate job contractors are registered by official overseas employment agencies, in the case of the Philippines, the Department of Migrant Workers (formerly known as POEA), is the governing body and vital indicator of an agency’s credibility as an international manpower agency.
Exorbitant Fees
If your agency charges you unreasonable fees, do know that legal agencies operate within the standard guidelines set by DMW. Often, illegal agencies use exorbitant fees, which without a doubt is the ultimate tell-tale sign of a potential scam. As an employer, your job is to be educated about these fee limits so you can question agencies that seek to charge excessive amounts.
Unrealistic Requirements
Legitimate agencies understand the importance of clear and legally binding agreements. As an international employer, you must insist on comprehensive contracts and documentation to protect your interests.
Inconsistent Information
