FILIPINO healthcare workers are in high demand worldwide, renowned for their exceptional skills and qualities. However, many struggle to find credible overseas jobs, often falling victim to fake job advertisements or struggling to meet the job requirements.
In order to ensure jobs that are available for Filipino healthcare workers are legitimate, online healthcare career hub and verification service TrueProfile.io created a whole ecosystem that protects both employee and employer. Using blockchain technology along with actual, manual verification to ensure accurate and compliant document submission as well as verified employers.
In an interview on the weekly videocast “Today is Tuesday,” Michelle Ibarra, Philippine Director of DataFlow TrueProfile.io utilizes the power and security of DataFlow told hosts Jing Garcia and guest host Atty. Melvin Calimag how Employment Verification Services (ESV) works.
ESV includes background screening and immigration compliance that “empowers Filipino healthcare workers to prepare, apply, and secure medical jobs with credible international employers,” according to Ibarra.
“TrueProfile.io is more than just a job portal. It offers a comprehensive range of services and resources to support healthcare professionals throughout their job search and beyond,” Ibarra said.
Ibarra explained that because TrueProfile.io is a blockchain-protected, digitally-powerful platform, its desktop and mobile portals allows members to shortlist posts matching their experience, preferred employer, role, and location. It provides access to over 3,500 international healthcare jobs.
After signing up subscribers can also use the Career Toolkit then create a digital CV to save their credentials and licenses within a digital wallet. The feature allows candidates to manage and have full control of uploaded information making it easier to access and share with potential employers, while blockchain ensures secure and accurate information exchanges.
“Taking care of our customer’s data is utmost concern. Our secure servers simply keep that data but only the subscriber has access to add, view, modify and share this data via our platform. Moreover, using DataFlow’s Primary Source Verification (PSV) the platform assures that on both sides, meaning employer and applicant information are accurate and actually exist. We spend a lot of time and effort in PSV which is crucial to protecting the integrity of both sides,” Ibarra explained.
She mentioned on situation when they discovered of an internship “mill” where an unusual number of nurses have supposedly gained training and experience. After an actual physical verification, DataFlow discovered that the institution was actually just selling documents listing experiences.
“We took action and not only banned the institution even before we deployed those signing up for jobs abroad. We cannot tolerate such actions because healthcare is a very sensitive job–lack of proper experience can lead to fatal results,” Ibarra stressed.
In the same way, the institutions listed in the TrueProfile.io app have been properly vetted and verified.
Such attention to detail and accuracy of information, TrueProfile.io has helped more than 1 million nurses, doctors and allied healthcare professionals secure a better career overseas.
TrueProfile.io’s credential verification service confirms the authenticity of educational and professional credentials, including college degrees, professional licenses, employment records, and good standing certifications. This verification is mandatory for many overseas positions, granting verified candidates the trust of employers, often resulting in priority status, expedited application processing, and enhanced salary offers, and assists members with obtaining the necessary licenses for overseas employment.
Two back-to-back features are the career guidance where experts help members choose destinations aligned with their job choices and the English language preparation resources to help members pass IELTS and other language testing courses. These services are supported with concierge services to help members with visa processing and even relocation.
“What I am truly proud of is the local social media community we have established specifically tailored to the Filipino healthcare network. Within this community, members can exchange insights and address any concerns related to working abroad,” Ibarra shared.
The DataFlow director emphasized that while pursuing a career abroad may not be for everyone, the thousands take this journey often find the experience personally, financially, and professionally rewarding. Tales of hardworking nurses or medical technicians who improved their families’ financial standing or settled their debts by working in other countries are not uncommon.
