Trust & safety
Safer hiring starts with clearer information.
Jobly gives candidates and employers practical signals for trustworthy hiring: clearer job posts, better company profiles, verification paths, and fast reporting when something looks wrong.
Jobly never asks for payment
Jobly employers never ask for payment. No placement, training, uniform or processing fees — ever. Report anyone who does.
What the employer badges mean
Every employer on Jobly carries one of these on its jobs and company page. We show the unverified state too — on a job board, no badge at all is the state a scammer hides in.
Recruitment licence checked against DMW records. Never pay this employer a placement fee.
Business registration reviewed by Jobly and the no-fees pledge signed.
This employer certified it never charges applicants. Documents are still under review.
Jobly has not reviewed this employer’s documents. Take extra care and never send money.
How Jobly protects you
One report can hide a posting
Report a job for asking you for money and an unverified posting is hidden from the board immediately, pending human review. Verified employers need a second independent report, so a single malicious flag cannot take down a legitimate job.
Applicant Respect Score
Calculated by Jobly from real application timestamps: how many applications an employer opens, how fast it responds, and how many people it leaves without a decision. Employers cannot edit it.
No indefinite waiting
If an employer never responds within its published decision window, we close the application, tell you plainly that there was no response, and count it against that employer. You are never left refreshing a dead application.
Warning signs of a recruitment scam
Legitimate Philippine employers and licensed agencies do not charge applicants for placement. If any of these happen, stop and report the posting.
- Asks for a placement, processing, training, uniform or “requirements” fee.
- Wants payment through GCash, Maya, a personal bank account or a remittance centre.
- Offers pay far above the going rate for the role with almost no requirements.
- Interviews only through a chat app and refuses a call or an office address.
- Pressures you to decide today, or asks for your bank OTP, PIN or ID selfies before hiring.
- Advertises overseas work without a DMW licence number and job order.
If someone asked you for money
- Stop sending money and keep the messages and receipts.
- Open the job on Jobly and use Report this job → “They asked me for money”. Tell us the amount and how they asked you to send it. Your identity is never shown to the employer.
- Report it to the authorities too — the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group for online fraud, and the DMW for anything involving overseas work.
Before you apply
Review the job and company details before sharing personal information. A legitimate hiring process should be specific, consistent, and free to join.
- The role clearly explains pay, location, schedule, and hiring steps.
- The employer profile includes a real website, contact details, and company information.
- No one asks for placement fees, training payments, gift cards, or bank access.
- Messages come from a company email or a verified hiring contact.
Employer standards
Strong employer pages convert better because candidates can understand who they are talking to and what the role really involves.
- Post accurate job titles, salary details where possible, and realistic requirements.
- Use one company identity and keep profile information current.
- Do not request illegal fees, identity documents, or payments before a legitimate offer process.
- Respond to candidate reports quickly and remove closed roles promptly.
Verified employers
Verification helps identify company-controlled profiles and gives candidates another trust signal.
Reviewed before publishing
New job posts are reviewed by the Jobly team before they appear in search, and closed roles expire out of the listings.
Report issues
Every job post has a Report option. Use it, or contact Jobly with the job link and message details.
