The Philippines is seeing a surge in virtual assistant (VA) applications, with monthly job submissions exceeding 20,000, according to a report by global recruitment agency VA Masters.
Data from the State of the Filipino Virtual Assistant Industry report showed that the company’s monthly application volume increased from 10,857 in January to 23,874 in June, representing a more than double increase in the first half of the year.
“Everyone talks about the Philippines as a source of affordable talent,” VA Masters Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Alon Pearl said in the report.
“What the data actually shows is a talent pool so deep that we place fewer than one in 500 applicants,” he added. “The story here isn’t cost, it’s selectivity.”
