There are three ways for a Filipino worker to legally work overseas; through the help of a Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA)-licensed agency, through the name-hire process or through the Government Placement Branch (GPB) scheme.

The third type of overseas recruitment offers job vacancies of government agencies of other countries. This type of recruitment is handled by the POEA. Being hired through the GPB scheme has its advantages. For one, applicants are guaranteed of the job and employer’s legitimacy. Another good thing is that applicants hired thru GPB scheme is not required to pay any placement fee.
