Jobstreet by SEEK is aggressively expanding artificial intelligence tools to tackle chronic hiring bottlenecks, slash skyrocketing recruitment costs, and beat talent mismatches in a hyper-competitive job market.
Unveiled at the recent Jobstreet Connect gathering of over 200 HR leaders, the employment marketplace’s proprietary engine—seek AI—arrives as local companies battle an influx of unqualified applicants and sluggish screening cycles.
The timing is critical. According to Jobstreet’s Hiring, Compensation & Benefits Report, the Philippines leads Southeast Asia in recruitment AI adoption at 39 percent, crushing the 27 percent regional average.
Backed by 25 years of market intelligence and 750 million daily Asia-Pacific data signals, seekAi learns precise employer preferences to surface candidates up to five times likely to apply. Its companion feature, AI-powered Assist, handles heavy lifting like pre-screening, candidate ranking, and reference checks while keeping final hiring power strictly human.
“We believe that AI should make hiring better, not busier,” said Jobstreet by SEEK Managing Director Dannah Majarocon.
By streamlining administrative grind, the platform frees HR teams to pivot toward high-value retention and workforce planning. Yet, Jobstreet warns that tech alone isn’t a silver bullet; winning the talent war still demands competitive pay, flexibility, and real career growth.
