In our digital day and age, technology continues to evolve and our world grows increasingly dependent on it. While it gives utmost convenience, technology affects our lifestyle so companies now ensure that their operations and systems optimize technology to stay ahead within their industry.
Nowadays, many enterprises prefer to hire IT professionals so they can improve their products and services, and remain competitive.
The Philippines is home to talents who provide noteworthy services for IT jobs both locally and internationally. As such, many foreign companies tap into the Filipino workforce to support their needs.
So, why are Filipinos the preferred global IT professionals?
First and foremost, Filipinos are great at English (speaking, writing, and listening). They are tech-savvy and adapt well to digitalization. And remote work is something that they are familiar with. Filipinos have more affordable hourly rates as compared to talents from developed countries. And finally, they are diligent, motivated, and resilient which allows them to shine in the workplace.
