Bossjob, the fastest-growing AI-powered mobile chat-first recruitment platform, marked another milestone as it successfully concluded the First-Ever Kasanggayahan HR Summit in Sorsogon Province. The event, held at Villa Isabel Hotel, gathered hundreds of participants, including HR professionals, MSME owners, and local leaders. This collaborative effort was supported by the City Government of Sorsogon, the Provincial Government of Sorsogon, the Sorsogon City BPLO Chief Rodel Ferreras, and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Sorsogon, led by Provincial Director Ma. Lourdes Pancho.
In her speech, Ma. Lourdes Pancho expressed her enthusiasm for Bossjob’s expansion into the region, particularly in the province of Sorsogon. She highlighted the platform’s potential to greatly benefit Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) by streamlining their recruitment processes. “We are thrilled with Bossjob’s entry into Sorsogon. It’s a game-changer for our business sector. DTI is committed to supporting Bossjob’s initiatives that empower MSMEs in the province,” she said.
Keynote Speaker Highlights the Role of HR in Business Growth
The summit featured Darwin Rivers, an acclaimed HR professional, founder of Philippine HR Group and guest speaker, who emphasized the critical role HR plays in driving business growth. Rivers discussed the “4 E’s” of managing employees effectively:
- Employee Engagement
- Employee Enablement
- Employee Satisfaction
- Employee Experience
He noted that while many organizations focus heavily on employee engagement, they often overlook the equally vital areas of enablement, satisfaction, and overall experience. His insights resonated strongly with the audience, inspiring HR professionals and business owners to adopt a more holistic approach to employee management.
Bossjob’s Role in Empowering MSMEs
The event opened with a warm welcome from Feby Joy Llosala-Luneza, Growth Director of Bossjob, who expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support from local government units and partner organizations. Bossjob’s Sales Manager for Expansion, Michelle Ayo, shared an insightful presentation on how the platform can revolutionize recruitment for MSMEs by offering cost-effective, AI-driven solutions.
“Our mission is to bridge the gap between employers and job seekers in the most efficient way possible. Bossjob is here to support Sorsogon’s businesses as they grow and thrive,” said Llosala-Luneza.
