Six years in corporate HR gave me a deep understanding of how hiring actually works — not just the process steps, but the psychology, the common failure points, and the things that make candidates and employers succeed or fail together. When the company I worked for downsized and my role was made redundant, I decided not to look for another HR job on the same terms. I wanted to take those six years of expertise and build something of my own.
OnlineBestJobs.ph gave me the vehicle to do that. I positioned myself specifically as an HR and recruitment virtual assistant — job posting management, CV screening, interview scheduling, onboarding documentation, employment contract preparation, and HR policy drafting. It is a niche but a needed one. Employers grow quickly and often don't have the volume to justify a full-time HR hire. I can fill that function fractionally, and my professional background means the work I deliver is substantive rather than just administrative.
I now support three companies across the Philippines, Australia, and the UK on a retainer basis, handling their end-to-end recruitment coordination and HR admin. Each client gets a dedicated slice of my week and clear deliverables. Two of them have told me I have raised the professionalism of their entire hiring process. That kind of feedback means more than any performance review I received in six years of corporate work. I built this independently, and I am proud of it every day.
