POEA Recommendations on How to Avoid Illegal OFW Recruitment June 17, 2008 Remember, if it is too good to be true, it probably is!
Modus Operandi of Illegal Recruiters 1. Tourist Worker Scheme – workers leave the country as tourists but are actually leaving for employment abroad.
2. Escort Services – workers are “escorted” at the airports ad seaports and allowed to leave even without the required travel documents 3. Blind Ads – advertisements for overseas employment published in the dailies do not indicate the name of the recruiter but provides a P.O. Box to which applications may be submitted. 4. By Correspondence – applicants are encouraged to submit their requirements through mail together with seemingly minimal fee. 5. Backdoor Exit – workers leave through the southern ports of exit where immigration control is lax. They usually leave on cargo ships or on boats. 6. Assumed identity – workers leave under another name either using the name of another worker or through the “baklas system” or obtaining passports through fake birth certificates and other documents. Minors are usually deployed through this scheme. 7. Direct hiring – workers are recruited directly by the foreign employer and deployed either as tourists or through any of the other illegal means. 8. Trainee-Worker Scheme – workers are recruited and deployed as trainees on a training agreement. More often, HRM students leaving in the guise of a traineeship program for hotels abroad but eventually landing jobs in hotels/restaurants abroad. 9. Tie-Up or Kabit System – unlicensed recruiters tie-up with licensed agencies and recruit workers through the facilities of the latter. Workers are either deployed under the job order of the licensed agency but actually work for another employer abroad or the foreign principal of the unlicensed recruiter is registered or accredited under the licensed agency’s name. 10. Visa Assistance or Immigration Consultancy Scheme – entities operating under the guise of consultancy or offering services for visa facilitation are actually engaged in recruitment by offering placement abroad on immigrant visa. Some of them also operate through the conduct of orientation seminars, which are actually recruiting activities. 11. Camouflaged participants/representatives in seminars/sports events – workers leave as participants in seminars or sports events abroad but actually intend to work there. 12. Mail Order Bride Scheme – marriage is arranged by brokers between Filipino women and foreigners. The Filipino wife ends up being a domestic helper to her husband and his family or in worst situations abroad. How to Avoid Illegal Recruitment
1. Do not apply at recruitment agencies not licensed by POEA. 2. Do not deal with licensed agencies without job orders. 3. Do not deal with any person who is not an authorized representative of a licensed agency. 4. Do not transact business outside the registered address of the agency. If recruitment is conducted in the province, check if the agency has a provincial recruitment authority 5. Do not pay more than the allowed placement fee. It should be equivalent to one month salary, exclusive of documentation and processing costs. 6. Do not pay any placement fee unless you have a valid employment contract and an official receipt. 7. Do not be enticed by ads or brochures requiring you to reply to a Post Office (P.O.) Box, and to enclose payment for processing of papers. 8. Do not deal with training centers and travel agencies, which promise overseas employment. 9. Do not accept a tourist visa. 10. Do not deal with fixers.
