A 2024 survey by the Boston Consulting Group and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) revealed that most MSMEs are eager to grow. About 72% want to expand their workforce, and 82% want to upskill their employees. However, 46% said they are experiencing a talent crisis. There’s high demand for workers, but quality candidates remain hard to find.
To support business owners and help address these challenges, Jobstreet by SEEK organized the MSME Summit, an event designed to equip entrepreneurs with the tools, insights, and confidence to compete in today’s fast-changing business landscape.
The Summit, held at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall in partnership with SM for MSMEs, brought together business owners and industry leaders for discussions on hiring, marketing, logistics, digital platforms, and finance. These sessions were created to help MSMEs strengthen their operations and better navigate opportunities for growth.
“Jobstreet by SEEK believes that every thriving economy is built on the shoulders of its resilient and growing MSMEs. By empowering them through events like the MSME Summit, we’re not only helping their businesses grow and connecting them with the right talent but also fueling job creation and strengthening the local employment,” said Dannah Majarocon, Jobstreet by SEEK’s Managing Director in the Philippines.

Helping MSMEs Hire Safely Through Free Job Posting
One of the key messages of the event was the importance of using legitimate hiring platforms. As hiring scams become more common on social media, Jobstreet by SEEK encouraged MSMEs to protect themselves by posting job openings on trusted platforms.
Jobstreet by SEEK also highlighted its “SMEasy sa Jobstreet” initiative, which offers MSME owners free and easy job posting. Through this feature, a business can instantly publish job ads and reach thousands of active job seekers from the platform’s nearly 14-million user base nationwide. It’s a simple and safe way for MSMEs to start finding the right candidates without additional costs.
By giving entrepreneurs access to proper tools, guidance, and safer hiring options, Jobstreet by SEEK continues to support business owners who want to grow their teams and build stronger operations.
