Personal involvement in selection as the key to absolute team stability

Our experience clearly shows that the most stable teams are built by companies that take a personal role in the selection process. That is why we have shifted the core of our services toward premium client support. We take you directly to the source – we are currently organizing trips to the Philippines with exceptional success to meet both qualified and non-qualified talent.

Premium selection trip: all-inclusive service for your management team

We design the entire process to save as much of your time and energy as possible. We take over the full organization of your trip. We arrange flights, premium accommodation, transfers, and fully equipped representative interview facilities.

The results behind our solution

Which companies is international recruitment suitable for

Our solution is designed for companies that:

• are unable to fill key operational roles locally over the long term,
• need to stabilize production, logistics, or operations,
• are looking for an experienced partner for recruiting foreign workers.

We most often work with companies in manufacturing, logistics, automotive, construction, and HoReCa.

Current trend: the Philippines as a key source of stable employees

One of our most important source markets at the moment is the Philippines. This is where we have been recruiting candidates for Czech and Slovak companies on a long-term basis – companies looking for stable workers with strong motivation, a high willingness to adapt, and very good readiness for an international working environment.

For many operational and specialist roles, the Philippine market is also highly attractive because candidates commonly communicate in English, which makes onboarding, day-to-day cooperation, and faster workplace integration easier.

At the same time, we have many years of practical experience with this market. We carry out recruitment in compliance with the relevant legislation and with a strong focus on selection quality, process certainty, and the long-term sustainability of the entire model.

In addition to the Philippines, we also provide recruitment from other selected countries, such as Mongolia, India, and Colombia.

How the cooperation works

• 1. Analysis of needs and suitability of international recruitment
  • First, we assess with you which positions and what hiring volume make international recruitment worthwhile. We take into account the type of operation, required competencies, language requirements, and the expected start date.
• 2. Selection of the source country and recruitment strategy
  • Based on your needs, we propose the most suitable market, country, and candidate selection model. For many projects, we currently recommend the Philippines, especially for roles where stability, discipline, and adaptability are essential.
• 3. Candidate selection and professional verification
  • We actively source, pre-screen, and professionally verify candidates. For selected projects, we organize in-person selection processes directly in the country of recruitment with the client’s participation.
• 4. Legal process and relocation
  • We provide complete coordination of administration, the visa process, and relocation so that the entire process is efficient and operationally secure.
• 5. Arrival, adaptation, and employee stabilization
  • After arrival, we take over the organization of the key steps that help the employee manage the transition into the new environment and focus on work performance as quickly as possible.
  • In-person candidate selection directly abroad
  • For projects where selection quality and long-term stability are critical, we recommend that clients participate in the selection process directly in the country of recruitment.

Premium selection trip: all-inclusive service for your management team

We design the entire process to save as much of your time and energy as possible. We take over the full organization of your trip. We arrange flights, transfers, accommodation, and suitable spaces for interviews and testing.

We provide:

• organization of the selection process abroad,
• logistics for the entire trip,
• flights, transfers, and accommodation,
• rental of suitable facilities for interviews and testing,
• coordination of the entire recruitment day.

The result is greater certainty in selection, better alignment of expectations on both sides, and a stronger foundation for long-term retention after onboarding.

Manuvia 360° Care

An employee ready to start and perform

Successful international recruitment does not end with the employee’s arrival. The first weeks after arrival determine the real outcome. That is why we created the Manuvia 360° Care program, which provides practical and adaptation support during the period when the employee’s long-term stability is being formed.

The program includes:

• Arrival and accommodation
• Organization of arrival, airport transfer, and arrangement of suitable accommodation.
• A practical start in a new country
• Support with setting up a bank account, obtaining a local SIM card, and orienting oneself in everyday life.
• Administrative support
• Assistance with communication with authorities and follow-up administrative matters after arrival.
• Ongoing coordination and adaptation

Support from our coordinators in the first weeks and in the later stages as well, so that the employee can manage both cultural and practical adaptation and focus on work.

Thanks to this, the client does not gain only an employee who arrives in the country, but an employee who is ready to start, become productive, and function in the team over the long term.

View from practice

From my experience as a coordinator of international workers, I know that a project’s success does not begin with signing the contract, but with the worker’s arrival in a new country. The first days and weeks determine how quickly they adapt, become involved in the job, and whether they stay with the company in the long term.

A high-quality selection process is only half of the success. The other half is support after arrival—especially the active assistance of a coordinator who guides workers through administrative procedures, documentation, and helps them adjust to the new environment. At the same time, the coordinator also supports them directly at work during their first days and training sessions, so they can better understand the processes and feel more confident. For Filipino workers, this personal approach is crucial, as it gives them a sense of safety, certainty, and trust in a new environment.

The Manuvia 360° Care program covers this phase comprehensively. For the client, the result is faster onboarding, lower turnover, and a more stable team.

Case study

Stabilizing production through recruitment from the Philippines

Initial situation:

The client had long struggled with a shortage of local candidates for production operator and welder positions. The result was staffing shortages, pressure on shift operations, and turnover. The client needed to add 30 new employees to production capacity.

Manuvia’s solution:

• organization of a selection process in the Philippines with the client’s representatives participating online in person,
• complete relocation of employees to Slovakia,
• provision of post-arrival support under the Manuvia 360° Care model.

Result:

• the goal was to secure 30 new employees,
• 60 candidates were invited and 70 attended,
• the client made 62 job offers due to the high quality of the candidates,
• ongoing recruitment – current status: more than 100 Filipino employees.

What our clients say about working with us

“Despite the misfortune we faced with a fire in the building where the interviews were supposed to take place, everything went according to plan. Even after two sleepless nights, we managed it and completed the selection process with a good feeling. From our side, it was a shock therapy, because we are no longer used to interviewing candidates who genuinely want to work. Even though the Manuvia team had prepared us for it, I felt like Alice in Wonderland. It is not only about the number of applicants, but also about their quality and experience.

Hopefully, no force of nature will prevent our cooperation again, and we will soon welcome new colleagues with open arms.”

When international recruitment makes the most sense

International recruitment is an appropriate solution especially when:

• the local market has long failed to generate enough suitable candidates,
• repeated recruitment does not deliver stable results,
• high turnover increases costs and complicates operational planning,
• you need to fill key operational or specialist roles over the long term,
• you are looking for a partner who covers the entire process from selection to employee adaptation.
