    • Referral endorsed by a search firm/third party provider within the last 6 months
    • Referral who responded to Emapta’s job advertisements, regardless of the position they applied for and whether their applications had previously been processed or not (e.g. LinkedIn, Jobstreet, Monster, Indeed, etc.) within the last 6 months
    • Referral who directly applied to Emapta (e.g. email, walk-in, etc.) within the last 6 months
    • Referral initially referred by any other employee within 6 months of referral ownership
    • Referral who were former employees or associates of Emapta or any of its clients
    • Candidates who were hired for non-permanent employment or are currently employed on a non-permanent basis.
    • Referrals who were submitted as referrals through other channels aside from the EMBuddy Portal (e.g. emailed to client or recruiter, etc.)

    What time zone is Emapta on?

    Emapta is located in the Philippines, which is UTC +8, but our teams work in different shifts, 24/7.

    You decide when you want your team to work, this could be your countries’ office hours or alternative hours to provide after hour coverage.

    Will the personnel be shared with other clients?

    While the employee(s) will be legally employed under Emapta, they will be exclusively working only for you and your organization. We put your company/brand first and treat your employees as an extension of your company in the Philippines – while Emapta is their support network on the ground.  We have found this to be a key success factor for high-performing teams and a great contributor to long-term employee retention.
