At the end of this video I'm even going to give you a ninety seven dollar e-commerce course absolutely free just for watching to the end. Okay let's get to it finding and recruiting the right Filipino worker is difficult I mean it's hard to do it's hard to find somebody to match the job that you're hiring for however it can be done and if you do it right they benefit you benefit and you get your work done at a good price. In this video I'm going to share with you kind of the tips and tricks I've learned along the way because we've employed a lot of people in the Philippines for many years now. My first step is just hire one I see so many businesses do this they go out they hire three or four people from online jobs dot ph and all of a sudden they got all these people and they don't know what to do and they haven't been trained and they're not managed properly so if you're starting off and you're new to this you just want to hire one person in the beginning and get them up and running don't hire more than one to start with eventually you can get to several you know people working for you they can be accounting for you they can be doing graphics they can be doing social media but you need to start slow. Number two discuss the policies with the person that you hire so that they know what to do I see this happen over and over again where people say well this person's not doing what I want them to do and I said well what you want and what you taught are two different things what did you teach them to do what did you train them to do so it's super important that you put out your expectations up front now this is really important in the hiring process because your expectations may not be what they want it's better to give your expectations up front rather than to give them later on and they get into a job they don't want and you can't manage a person a job that they don't want the next thing you need to look at is do you want a full time or do you want a part time and what is full time what is part time generally speaking on online jobs dot ph that's five days a week and eight hours a day if you're hiring part time it's going to be the same number of days five days a week but probably only four hours a day and you also want to discuss up front when you want them to work now personally I don't care when my people work because it doesn't make any difference to me I want them to be comfortable in their own settings I don't want to keep them up all night if they don't want to be up all night they can work whatever hours they want as long as they put in the 40 hours and they get the work done but notify them up front because if you want them to be available to you at certain hours you need to tell them that up front because if they don't want to be and then later on you say that two things are going to happen they're going to quit or they're never going to be available when you need them now online jobs dot ph has some software called time proof and they actually log in and it checks to see what hours they're working I don't like it I don't like to use it I tried it in the beginning and what I found was it was like it was kind of like looking over their shoulder to see what they're doing and yeah you can do that but what that does is that sets up a degree of mistrust between you and the person that's working with you and I always say the person that's working with me not for me because we're both trying to accomplish something and if you're checking their hours constantly that means that you probably don't trust them and if you don't trust them they shouldn't be working for you anyhow so there's really no point in having that type of software there but I know I'll get feedback from this people will say oh well I want to monitor well and go ahead and do it your way but I like the person to know that I do trust them that they'll get their work done and you know what if they take a little break every now and then and then work more later on I don't really care it doesn't matter to me you also want to talk to them about their pay they need to know when they're going to get paid now generally on online jobs ph you're going to pay on the first of the month so they're going to be one month behind and then you're going to pay them I don't like that process so I don't do that and the reason I don't like it is because if they're on there working for you they probably really need the money and paying them once a month they've really got to spread out their money over the month and that makes it difficult for some people so I like to pay every single week you know I use you know a thing called Payoneer and I'll put a link below for Payoneer but Payoneer they just bill you for the work that they've done for that particular week and then you go ahead and pay them and the next thing I would tell you is pay them fast do not wait they need the money and if you you know wait three or four days to pay somebody and then there's a lag in the software of three or four days that's a long time for them to wait to get paid now the next thing I'll tell you is you've got to allow your employees to have vacation and sick leave now they're going to have to be with you for a certain period of time to get that obviously you know vacation normally comes after a year but it's something you need to look at and every now and then if somebody gets sick you know sometimes I will pay sometimes I won't depending on how good of an employee depending on how much time they've taken off but you do have to allow them some type of sick pay you know after a year because they stay with you for a year you've got to afford them that don't forget about the 13th month now if you're in the US you don't even know what a 13th month is but in the Philippines the actual businesses that employ people down there have a legal responsibility after one year to pay them 30 days worth of pay so that means you're going to have to calculate in you know whatever you're paying your employees that you're going to have to pay them an extra month just because the rules in your country maybe you're in the US are different than that you don't live in their country and they don't live in yours so you got to abide by their rules or they're not going to want to work for you the next thing I will talk about is yearly raises cost of living goes up everywhere and you should evaluate your employees on a yearly basis now at the time of that evaluation you want to look at several things you know have they been dependable have they done what they were supposed to do were they responsive to your messages and if they did all those things and they did a good job then you should give them a raise now there are times when I'll hire somebody and after two or three months if they're doing a good job I'll just give them a raise I don't wait for an entire year because I want them to know I appreciate what they're doing now on the flip side if they're not doing a great job you know I I almost think you just want to get rid of them rather than not give them a raise because if you don't give them a raise they're going to probably look anyhow and if they're not doing a good job for you why are you employing them anyhow the next thing I'll tell you is if you hire a full-time employee in the Philippines they should not be working for anybody else now if they're working for somebody else they're actually cheating you because there's no way for them to work two 40-hour work weeks and 80 hours it's just not going to pencil out so if you find that situation I know if I find that situation I will let the person go because obviously there's something wrong now the only reason they would do that is they're basically trying to cheat you and not try to work hard or you're not paying them enough for the job so the one thing I will tell you is make sure you're paying enough for the job and a decent employee won't try to work two jobs to make ends meet the next thing I'll tell you is you want to have a relationship where they can come to you and talk to you so right up front you want to reassure them if something goes wrong if something breaks you know if something doesn't work out if they mess something up it's okay you understand that people make mistakes and they can come to you and talk to you because if you don't set up that relationship up front you know Filipino people can be very embarrassed if something goes wrong and we don't want to do that we don't want to make them feel bad so we want to reassure them that you know if something goes wrong they can come talk to you and make sure they can too if they come to talk to you about a problem make sure that you're helpful to them because basically they're helping you out by working for you so you got to treat them right and set up that you know relationship more like a family than you know a boss and an employee that you know despires out orders all the time one thing I've seen in the Philippines is some Filipino employees will just disappear they just go away they quit doing your work they they're not there you can't get in touch with them they don't answer emails and generally I think that happens because they don't feel they have a relationship with the person they're working with where they can actually talk to them so make sure that you tell them up front you know you don't want them to disappear if something goes wrong please come to me and let me know you know if you don't want to work for me anymore that's okay too just let me know so that you know you can leave on a good basis and the cool thing is if you hire them through online jobs dot ph and I have no affiliation with that site but if you hire them there you're going to rate them after they've worked for you so if somebody does disappear you need to rate them accordingly that they didn't do a good job and if they do a great job for you and you know you move on or you hire somebody else or they leave let them know I'll give you a great rating just make sure you know if you're going to leave me and you're going to go work someplace else that you tell me so I can give you a good rating on online jobs dot ph now when you tell them that it kind of insinuates that if they don't do that they're not going to get a good rating as soon as you hire them give them their first task okay don't hire somebody and wait two or three days and they don't know what to do matter of fact I like to give a task before I hire them based on how well they did that task I can decide if I want to hire them you know if they're doing graphics or they're doing video editing or if they're doing writing for me I'll say well here's a task let's see how well you do at it and if they do well then I hire them and you'll find that some of them won't do the task or they do a poor job and if that's the case you didn't want to hire them anyhow once they come to work for you though you've got to have a game plan you got to be ready to go you got to be able to hit the ground running so you got to have your tasks set up you got to have your work set up for them so that they can actually start working because starting a job and they're not having anything to do well that's kind of a weird feeling and then they're not really sure if they're employed so don't do that make sure you're organized before you hire them okay now whatever type of task that you give your employee after they've been hired provide them with the correct training you know I see this all the time where somebody will say well my employee is not doing this they're not doing this they're not doing this and I'll say well did you train them to do that did you tell them that's for what you want you know that's super important that they know what to do because most of the times people do want to do what you want but if you haven't told them and you haven't trained them properly and you haven't given them the right tools you know if you say well I want you to make all these files for me and you don't tell them where to put the files you don't set up a drop box or you don't set up a place for them to save them what are they supposed to do and then you get mad at them for not doing something that you never trained them for the next thing I'll tell you is don't give them tasks that you didn't hire them for so I see that a lot will see you know somebody will get hired to do video editing or graphics and the person says well I want you to write these blogs for me well they weren't hired to write blogs now that's not to say you can't add tasks going down the road but if you add tasks going down the road make sure you talk to them and say do you feel comfortable doing this new task do you have time to do this new task is this going to be okay with you let them know that it's different and you know it's different from what you hired them for and have that discussion number four set the right expectations okay and that means like if you have tasks for them make sure you tell them when you want these tasks done how fast you want these tasks done you know how accurately you want them done all these things are super important so they know what's expected of them if people know what's expected of them they're always going to perform better if one of your employees feels like they don't have the expertise to do a new task that you're asking them to do and you haven't trained them to do it they're going to disappear because you've asked them to do something that's embarrassing to them because they know they can't do it and you haven't discussed it with them and you haven't said hey do you feel comfortable doing this you're going to lose employees that's no way to treat anybody that you hire number five is the daily email now this is super super important so that you can stay on top of what they're doing now don't say send me a daily email that doesn't really tell them anything you know I have several things that I want done I want to know how many people were added to my group how many people you know we've increased on my youtube channel you know things like that so I have those questions set up and I say send me this daily email with these four things let me know what progress we're making in these four areas and let me know what you did for the day and if you don't do that you know they don't really know what's expected and you can also lose track of managing them real quick and on top of that if you don't check the things that they're supposed to be doing and let's say it's getting you know subscribers to a youtube channel and you're not getting subscribers and they're working on your channel well then that's that's a problem so we want to make sure that you know all those things are checked but they also know what's expected of them now don't make them write an email that's 20 pages long every single day that's ridiculous you know three or four questions on there and a little blurb about what they got done that's it just kind of checking in with you unless you plan on talking to them every single day and I don't talk to my employees in the Philippines every single day because I don't need to I don't need to get them on you know I'll call and do all this stuff and waste time and have meetings I'm not a big meeting person I just want to know that stuff's getting done and that they're aware of what needs to get done and that they check in with you that's it number six make progress now what do I mean by that well in the first few weeks you want to make sure you're making progress you're getting things done so don't give a task that's going to take three months to complete before you can see if it's actually done do some simple things like you know maybe you need some post done maybe you need some data entered that type of thing but make sure that they can have some early wins in other words you can look at what they did in the beginning you can say hey good job I really appreciate you doing a great job don't wait and you know tell them they did a good job after three or four months because they're they're they're not going to know they're going to feel insecure you don't want to do that to people you want to reassure people and you're going to do a whole lot better with this positive reinforcement the way we manage people in the United States is not always positive it's you know we're going to punish you if you don't do something well and that doesn't make anybody want to work hard for you and next thing I'll tell you underneath that is keep them busy I mean make sure there's stuff for them to do you shouldn't have to you know communicate with them every single day about what you want done you know I make sure I have a list of things that you know they literally cannot complete in a day because you know I have stuff scheduled out for weeks so make sure you have enough work for them to do because they don't want to feel like they keep running out of work because they're going to feel like well maybe this job isn't going to be around next week because this person never gives me enough work you know to where I can even fill my day so I feel really guilty because they're giving me two hours worth of work and I'm supposed to work eight hours but there's not enough work to do so don't get in that situation if you don't need somebody full time don't hire somebody full time I like to make sure that every day is planned out and what I mean by that is I will give enough work to where I know that you know today they need to do this but tomorrow there's this to do and tomorrow there's this to do and a lot of our work is dynamic work so it's like people want to join our group and they have to approve them and put them in our email system and they have to edit you know videos and they have to get certain graphics done now every now and then I'm going to have a project that I'm going to have to throw in but if you do that understand that that's going to take away from their other work so if you have somebody editing videos and you ask them to do a whole bunch of graphics it's going to take them a day and a half they can't do your videos too I mean they just can't do it so make sure that you know you don't just pile that on top of what they have to do because that's unfair to them contrary to common belief it doesn't hurt to compliment people okay compliments cost you nothing okay and if somebody's doing a good job the old thinking in the USA is that I never want to tell them you know they're doing a good job because they're going to want to raise and I don't want them to think that well that's craziness okay if somebody's doing a good job sometimes if you just thank them you don't have to give them a raise every single day you should give them raises on down the road and you should pay them more so they want to work for you and you should actually pay on the higher end of the scale because if you're paying on the higher end of the scale and you're treating people right guess what you're going to attract really good people and the people that do come to work for you are going to want to work for you and they're going to do a better job and you're really going to benefit number seven is talk about paying everybody doesn't want to talk about pay they're so worried about oh my god so don't bring up money money's important you know they know what they need to make and you know what you can afford to pay and if those two don't match up in the beginning get it out in the beginning don't say well why don't you come to work for this and then we'll see how you're doing and then maybe I can pay you more don't do that to anybody okay make sure that whatever you're paying them is going to meet with what they want to make right now don't make them you know wait two months to see if they can make the money they need um matter of fact in two months if they're doing a good job give them a raise do do a little bit more for them but do talk about pay you have to do this number eight expect turnover okay I was in another industry for many many years and uh we had a lot of turnover okay and it's expected and things happen nothing is 100 permanent it's just not so if an employee leaves you or you know quit so you have to fire somebody these things happen you got to understand running a business that's how it goes some people stay some people go and that's okay don't get mad at somebody because they quit don't get mad at somebody because you know they want to go in another direction they have a right to do that you did that right because you started your own line business and you obviously had to quit a job to do that or plan on quitting a job to do that so expect turnover it's going to happen the next thing I'll tell you is enjoy the ride and what I mean by that is Filipinos are great people they're really awesome people I happen to love Filipino food I had Filipino food for lunch today so I really love that and I plan on going there one day and visiting the country but understand they're really great people so instead of thinking about you know all these people are going to work for me and they're going to do what I tell them to do why don't you think about kind of building a family of people that want to work with you to help you build your business it's a whole lot better relationship to do that than to have this boss employee type attitude you want people who want to work with you who want to build up your business who want to help you who know that you care about them so it doesn't hurt to ask about their you know wife or husband and kids and what they like to do for enjoyment you know it's it's okay to treat them as a person too and I'm not saying hang out with them and you know go to games with them do all that type of thing but what I'm saying is treat them as individual people not just employees okay so that's how you hire train and manage people on online jobs dot ph I hope you enjoyed this video and if you did do me a favor comment below now have you tried to hire people
