Permhunt

Permhunt is a specialist technical recruitment firm based in Makati City, helping startups, digital agencies, and enterprises hire software engineers and other technology professionals from the Philippines. With a database of over 50,000 vetted candidates and a track record of 500+ placements across 250+ client engagements, the company has built a reputation for delivering quality hires quickly and keeping them long-term. The recruitment process covers a wide range of technical disciplines. Permhunt sources and screens candidates for software and web development, cloud and DevOps, cybersecurity, network and infrastructure, QA testing, business and data analysis, machine learning and AI, and automation engineering. For companies building or scaling a technical team through Philippines outsourcing, this depth of specialization means a single recruitment partner can cover most of the hiring pipeline, from junior developers to principal-level engineers. What separates Permhunt from a typical headhunting agency is how much of the hiring risk it absorbs on the client's behalf. First CV submissions arrive within two business days. Hiring runs on a one-time recruitment fee. An in-house Lead Engineer participates in candidate evaluation, so the shortlist that reaches a client has already cleared technical scrutiny. Criminal and employer reference checks are standard on every search. A 90-day placement guarantee backs every hire, and 95% of placed candidates are still in their roles after 12 months, a retention figure that matters to companies tired of replacing talent they have just trained. Payroll facilitation, compliance support, and contract management are also available, which makes Permhunt a practical option for international companies that want to hire Philippines-based talent without immediately setting up a local legal entity. Clients have included AI solution providers, software engineering consultancies, and enterprise software companies across multiple markets. Founders, agency operators, and enterprise hiring teams are all represented in the client base. If your company is looking to build a technical team through Philippines-based outsourcing, Permhunt offers a direct path: faster candidate sourcing, stronger pre-screening, and ongoing support after the hire is made.
