How it works
Hiring from the Philippines: the whole process on one page
Hiring from the Philippines is a state-regulated process on both sides: the Philippine side (Department of Migrant Workers, the POLO/MWO procedure) and the Austrian side (RWR Card or seasonal quota). Without guidance it is genuinely easy to lose months: an incomplete accreditation file, a contract that fails MWO verification, underestimated language requirements — the three most frequent causes of delay. Our job is to make this one managed project for you: clear stages, realistic timelines, no surprises halfway through.
