We've been encountering more Filipinos with multiple jobs lately, and I agree that it's frustrating.
We want to do something about it. We can't stop Filipinos from having multiple jobs because some need to do it to make ends meet. What we're trying to do is to make the situation more transparent. 
You need to know when you're hiring someone who already has another job, and the worker needs to know what happens when they juggle all these jobs.
Let's talk about it in this episode.

Are you exploiting a Filipino worker when you hire them?
There are many people out there who will tell you that hiring from the Philippines is exploitation. But what those people don't know and understand is that nothing can be further from the truth.
When you bring an Online Filipino Specialist into your business and pay them fairly, it's a win-win-win situation.
I'll explain how that works in this episode, but if you want to learn what a fair wage for an OFS is, check out Onlinejobs.ph/salaries.

Two questions I get a lot about hiring an OFS are:
1. How can you trust them, especially with personal or confidential information?
2. Can you find someone super skilled? Someone who can work the night shift?
I'll answer those questions by sharing Dei's and Dej's stories. You can listen to them in this episode or watch their stories on YouTube:

You can't hire them, but you can hire people like them at Onlinejobs.ph.

You already have an Online Filipino Specialist, and you're looking to hire more.
Should you let your OFS hire for you? Yes! 
Well, it depends.
Let's talk about it.

We tend to overcomplicate things, especially hiring.
The reasons people have why they're not hiring yet, even though they need to, is the same. It hasn't changed over the years.
At the end of the day, they're all rooted in fear. It's fear that you need to overcome if you want to change your life.
Let's talk about that in this episode.

I actually hire family members of my OFS team.
I don't always do it. They go through my hiring steps like anybody else. If they're not good enough, I don't hire them.
Also, your OFS won't want to recommend a family member who might be bad for the business. They know they'll lose face if that person doesn't do well.
Let's talk more about it in this episode.

There's a reason why I often remind people NOT to pre-pay for work.
You should pay for a test task, but once you hire someone, don't pre-pay for the work they'll do.
If they ask you to pre-pay for work, that's usually a red flag.
Instead, you should pay them every week, at least at the beginning. This allows you to build trust without having to pay them in advance.
Let's talk more about this in this episode.

Should you pay your OFS in Philippine peso or your currency?
It depends.
No matter what happens, your OFS will receive their salary in pesos.
We actually had an interesting conversation with our team about that. It turns out the amount they receive will fluctuate when we send them their salary in USD. 
How much is this going to affect your OFS? Let's talk about that.

This video is going to be intesresting and different.
Well, maybe not that different because we all know about the amazing things an Online Filipino Specialist can do for your business.
What's interesting about this OFS is she works for a talent agency in Hollywood. She talked about the work she does from them and it's pretty cool.
