Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to start hiring.
Employ Directly helps you hire remote professionals from the Philippines. Start with a free job post, or use AI matching on Pro and Premium to find applicants who fit your role.
For employers
What is Employ Directly?
Employ Directly is a hiring platform for businesses building remote teams with Filipino professionals. Post your role, review applications, and speak directly with candidates. Pro and Premium add AI match scores and explanations to help you build your shortlist.
What can I do on the Free employer plan?
Post up to three retained jobs, receive up to 15 applications per approved job, bookmark applicants, and reply directly. You can begin your search without a subscription. Pro and Premium unlock access to AI-matched applicants and give you more recruiting capacity.
How long does job post approval take?
Free job posts go through review before appearing in search, with a target decision within two days. Pro and Premium include instant job post approval.
Can my team help review applicants?
Yes. Pro and Premium include access for two and five administrators respectively, so your team can review applicants and move the search forward together. Free is for an employer managing the search themselves.
Who creates the contract and pays the professional?
You agree on the contract, hours, and pay directly with the person you hire. Employ Directly charges no placement commission and does not process wages or guarantee payment.
For professionals
Does it cost anything to find work?
No. Jobseekers can browse jobs and apply without a platform fee.
What can I see before applying?
Job posts can include the pay, hours, location, responsibilities, employment type, skills, language requirements, and other details provided by the employer.
Are my contact details public?
No. Public profiles contain only approved profile fields, and private contact details are not public profile fields.
How do I follow an application?
Applications, messages, and offers stay together in your account. Sign in to review an application’s progress and continue the conversation when the employer replies.
Plans and limits
Does Employ Directly take a placement commission?
No. Employers and professionals handle contracts and payment directly, and Employ Directly does not take a cut when someone gets hired.
What limits apply on the Free plan?
Free includes up to three retained job posts, including archived posts, and 15 applications per approved job. Start there for a smaller search and upgrade when you need more applications, talent outreach, or access to AI-matched applicants.
What happens when a job reaches its application limit?
The role stops accepting new applications, and applicants see an explanation. You can still review the applications already received. Choose a paid plan if your search needs a higher application limit.
AI and the platform
How does AI matching help me find the right applicants?
For jobs with AI matching enabled, AI compares the applicant’s skills, experience, and screening answers with your role. Pro and Premium let you review match scores, strengths, gaps, and explanations, and sort applicants by score in table view. Use that evidence to decide whom to interview.
Does AI decide who gets hired?
You decide whom to interview, make an offer to, and hire. AI matching helps you focus your review and see what to ask about; it does not replace your judgment.
What information is sent for an AI assessment?
When you apply to a job with AI matching enabled, you agree to an assessment of how your application fits the role. It uses the job details, your cover note, skills, education level and field, work-history titles, dates and descriptions, and screening questions and answers. Employ Directly does not add identity or contact fields, institution or company names, portfolio links, compensation fields, employer background, or internal IDs. Matching occurrences of your display name in candidate evidence are replaced with the words "the candidate" before transmission. Other allowed free-text content is sent as written.
How can I report misleading or unsafe content?
Authenticated users can report a job, employer, professional profile, application, or message when the relevant report action is available. Platform moderators review reports and record the outcome.
