Bossjob, the chat-first career platform revolutionizing professional hiring in Southeast Asia, highlighted its innovative AI-driven solutions for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) at the National Retail Conference Expo (NRCE) 2024.

The NRCE is the largest and longest-running retail event in the Philippines, marking 30 years of industry transformation.

This year’s theme, “Retail Today, Empowering Tomorrow,” resonates with Bossjob’s mission to empower businesses in a rapidly evolving job market.

In the Philippines, SMEs account for over 99% of all businesses, yet talent acquisition remains a significant challenge.

Notably, 89% of Filipino business leaders recognize AI’s vital role in maintaining competitiveness.

Bossjob’s platform directly addresses these challenges by optimizing recruitment processes and enhancing career opportunities for job seekers.

“Businesses must adapt swiftly to the fast-evolving digital landscape,” said Kimberly Chen, Country Manager of Bossjob.

“Our participation at NRCE provides SMEs an opportunity to see firsthand how AI can simplify recruitment and improve candidate matching.”

Throughout the two-day event, Bossjob offered a complimentary subscription to its platform, allowing SMEs to experience advanced AI-driven hiring tools at no initial cost.

The platform’s direct chat and AI-matching capabilities connect employers with ideal candidates efficiently.

As traditional hiring methods become outdated, Bossjob presents a modern solution for SMEs.

Many companies still rely on headhunters, whose commission rates can be financially burdensome.

By leveraging AI technology, Bossjob aims to streamline hiring processes while remaining cost-effective.

Since its inception in 2018, Bossjob has transformed professional hiring through advanced technologies.

Currently utilized by over 10,000 companies in the Philippines and boasting more than 4 million active users, Bossjob aspires to reach over 30 million users across Southeast Asia by 2026.
