Asticom Group of Companies, a unit of Globe Telecom Inc., projects to generate 15,000 job opportunities in the next five years with the continued expansion of its four subsidiaries.
Asticom, a shared services company under the Ayala conglomerate, said it has expertise in providing the right people to its growing clientele and has opened several opportunities for Filipino job seekers amid a challenging labor market.
The new jobs involve information technology (IT), human resources (HR), accounting, administrative and engineering roles in its subsidiaries, it added.
Asticom subsidiaries include IT and business services outsourcing company Asti Business Services Inc., HR and digital solutions provider HCX Technology Partners Inc., engineering firm Fiber Infrastructure and Network Services Inc., and logistics provider BRAD Warehouse and Logistics Services Inc.
“We are committed to creating opportunities for our fellow Filipinos at Asticom. Together with this promise, we also provide valuable talents and solutions for our clients through our shared services offerings and technology,” said Mharicar Castillo-Reyes, Asticom Group of Companies chief executive officer and president.
Last year, the company created 3,000 jobs for Filipinos and in the next five years, Asticom projects to generate 15,000 job opportunities as it furthers its aggressive growth.
It said it aims to capture a bigger market in Southeast Asia and to tap more small-and-medium enterprises and startups in the country.
“Our diverse business portfolio and our subsidiaries support the realization of our mission of improving Filipino lives, especially in the midst of the ongoing health crisis,” Castillo-Reyes said.
Asticom said the group also plays a key role in lowering the skills mismatch, an obstacle many individuals face. The skills mismatch, a divergence in available jobs and workers’ skills, is a critical factor in the 6.4 percent unemployment and 14 percent underemployment rates in the country. – Myla Iglesias
