Terms & Services

Service Overview

Job Search PH ("JSPH," "we," "us," or "our") is a candidate–employer matching platform that connects jobseekers with potential employers across the Philippines.

• Screening and reviewing candidate information
• Matching candidates to job opportunities
• Facilitating communication between employers and jobseekers

Nature of the Platform

• Job Search PH operates primarily as an online-based service.
• No physical office visit is required unless explicitly arranged.
• All matching, communication, and coordination are conducted online or through mutually agreed channels, such as email or Messenger.

How Matching Works

Employers submit a job request describing the role, requirements, and offered compensation. Jobseekers apply and provide their information through our designated channels. JSPH reviews and screens candidates, then endorses suitable matches to the employer. The employer conducts its own interviews and makes the final hiring decision.

Endorsement of a candidate is a recommendation only and does not constitute a guarantee of suitability, hiring, or performance.

Service Fee

• A service fee (covering matching and facilitation) is charged to employers only. We never charge jobseekers, consistent with the Domestic Workers Act (Republic Act No. 10361).
• No placement, no fee. No service fee is due unless a candidate is successfully hired by the employer.
• The service fee is equivalent to twenty percent (20%) of the candidate's agreed first-month salary, unless a different amount is agreed in writing.
• The fee becomes due upon turnover of the candidate's complete requirements, or the candidate's first day of work — whichever comes first.
• Payment confirms the employer's commitment to the selected candidate.
• Fees are non-refundable once a candidate has been hired, except as expressly provided under the Replacement Guarantee (Section 5).

Replacement Guarantee

If a hired candidate resigns, is dismissed for valid cause, or proves unsuitable within thirty (30) calendar days of their first day of work, JSPH will endeavor to provide one (1) replacement candidate at no additional service fee, subject to candidate availability and to the employer's compliance with these Terms.

The guarantee does not apply where:

• The employer materially misrepresented the role, working conditions, or compensation;
• The departure resulted from unlawful, unsafe, or unfair treatment of the worker;
• The agreed service fee was not paid; or
• More than thirty (30) days have passed since the candidate's first day.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the guarantee covers one replacement per placement.

Candidate Verification

• JSPH conducts basic screening and verification of candidate information.
• Verification is based on data provided by jobseekers and on available references.
• We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or truthfulness of any information provided.
• Employers remain responsible for conducting their own background checks and final validation before hiring.

Employer Responsibilities

Employers agree to:

• Conduct interviews and make their own final hiring decisions;
• Provide fair compensation and humane working conditions;
• Comply with Philippine labor laws, including the Domestic Workers Act (RA 10361);

JSPH is not responsible for employer conduct or decisions, salary disputes or employment terms, or workplace conditions and private agreements.
