Jobstreet by SEEK bridges skills gap and boosts MSME growth with Go Negosyo

 PRESS RELEASE

Jobstreet by SEEK Philippines’ Head of Marketing, Joey Yusingco at the Trabaho at Negosyo event

Jobstreet by SEEK, the leading online job platform, reaffirmed its commitment to bridging the gap between employment and entrepreneurship at the recent “Trabaho at Negosyo” initiative of Go Negosyo at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall. By serving as a key institutional partner, Jobstreet by SEEK is championing its mission to provide a job for every Filipino while empowering Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through digital transformation and AI readiness.

The “Trabaho at Negosyo” initiative aims to centralize MSMEs as primary drivers of high-value job creation. The platform’s participation highlights its role as a proactive enabler of this mission, providing the tools and insights necessary to build a future-ready workforce.

Attendees learned insights from industry experts at the plenary session and explored opportunities through the job fair with one-on-one or group mentoring sessions among jobseekers and MSMEs. The event also featured booths from government agencies (e.g., DTI, DOLE, SSS), enterprises, and employment support groups like Jobstreet by SEEK.  

Bridging the skills gap in an AI-ready world

During the event’s plenary session, Jobstreet by SEEK emphasized that the skills gap among job seekers is real and growing. With 72% of employers now considering AI knowledge a critical hiring factor, the workforce is facing a rapid shift in the skills required for success. In fact, 40% of jobs are already influenced by AI, and 70% of employees are willing to reskill to stay competitive.

Looking ahead, 40% of workplace skills are expected to change by 2030, while 82% of employers want to upskill their current workforce. In response, Jobstreet by SEEK is actively helping Filipinos remain employable through its suite of free digital tools — these include the SEEK Pass, an employment passport that helps users verify and share their career credentials, the Market Insights platform for access to market and industry hiring trends, and the Job Search feature for AI-powered job matching.

“Upskilling is no longer optional; it’s how we stay competitive in an AI-influenced market. Whether you are looking for a job or looking for talent, we have built tools to make the process simpler, smarter, and more accessible,” said Joey Yusingco, Jobstreet by SEEK Philippines Marketing Head.

Empowering MSMEs and job seekers with free digital tools 

Jobstreet by SEEK actively supported the community during the event with initiatives for both jobseekers and small businesses. The Resume Clinic offered free resume checks, profile optimization tips, and guidance on SEEK Pass, a secure digital passport that helps candidates stand out by confirming their credentials. 

Meanwhile, MSMEs benefited from the MSME Support & Digital Demo, gaining free consultations and live demonstrations on digital hiring, including real-time salary benchmarks and hiring trends. Through the Talent Attraction Lab, the platform also shared insights on what Filipino candidates value most, like work-life balance and career growth, helping businesses attract and retain the right talent.

The partnership between Jobstreet by SEEK and Go Negosyo underscored a shared goal: reinforcing MSMEs as engines of inclusive growth. By offering two dedicated booth spaces and expert-led learning sessions, the collaboration ensured that both jobseekers and entrepreneurs had direct access to the resources needed to thrive in the modern economy.

Fun as hell. Bloody as hell. Satanic as hell. Find out the inspiration for director Kirill Sokolov’s horror-action-comedy “THEY WILL KILL YOU,” produced by Andy Muschietti and starring Zazie Beetz, only in cinemas MARCH 25

Director Kirill Sokolov had a blast working on his new movie “They Will Kill You.” The horror-action-comedy, which he wrote and directed, is produced by Andy Muschietti, acclaimed director of horror hits including “It,” “It Chapter Two” and “Mama,” and features an ensemble cast that includes Zazie Beetz (“Invincible”), Tom Felton, Heather Graham and Patricia Arquette. 

“There was a real situation that inspired me for this script,” says Sokolov in a new featurette for the movie. Ten years ago, he and wife rented an apartment in a building where everyone seemingly knew each other. The situation kicked his imagination into overdrive. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they came and take us and sacrifice us and maybe that’s how will they prolong their lives. After that, we just fast-forward to this movie.”

In the blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy, a young woman (Beetz) must survive the night at the Virgil, a demonic cult’s mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering in a uniquely brazen, big screen battle of epic kills and wickedly dark humor.

“What I really liked about the script is the very clear fun Kirill was having with this genre and with the story,” says Beetz in the featurette.

Adds Tom Felton (“Harry Potter” film series, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”), “This script is so unique. There are so many elements of it that are not on anything that I’ve ever read before. ‘They Will Kill You’ has so many aspects to it – from family bonding, to Satanic cults.” 

Teases Beetz, “Get ready. It’s about to get bloody.”

Everyone is invited to visit The Virgil when “They Will Kill You” opens only in cinemas March 25, 2026.

An unexpected acting call leads him to a “rental family” agency, where he is hired to step into surrogate roles for strangers seeking connection.
