Notable Filipino Companies Gather for Kalibrr Client Appreciation Night

November 29 • 13 min read

Emerging startups and major corporations gathered in Makati City to be thanked and recognized as key contributors in Kalibrr Technology Venture’s successful 2019

As a year that saw Kalibrr successfully establish collaborative relationships with the likes of Google and Facebook and grow its registered jobseekers to over 2.7 million draws to a close, the company saw it fit to once again recognize and thank its parter-employers and organizations for their help in making 2019 a successful year.

For the second year in a row and the fourth in company history, Kalibrr brought together its partners for its annual Kalibrr Client Appreciation Night. The gathering was held last November 27th at 55 Paseo de Roxas in Makati City, a space maintained by Kickstart Ventures– the country’s leading capital ventures company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globe Telecom, and is one of the main investors in Kalibrr.

Bringing job seekers and employers together for meaningful opportunities

Starting off the night’s festivities was a word from Kalibrr Co-Founder and CEO Paul Rivera, who thanked the companies in attendance for not only their continued faith in the Kalibrr platform but also for specifically sharing in the company’s continued goal of bringing together qualified candidates and reputable employers for meaningful career and company growth.

Rivera also provided everyone with a preview of the constant developments being made on the Kalibrr platform, and how the company looks forward to continue helping them streamline their hiring and recruitment processes with improved search relevance, more advanced platform analytics, and more relevant candidate feedback, among others.

Thank you for being an important part of the Kalibrr story

Of course, the highlight of Client Appreciation Night was Kalibrr’s partners. While the company puts all its clients with the same high regard, a notable few made their presence felt in the year which Kalibrr had.

They were celebrated through various awards that recognized both for the value they contributed to the company’s growth and the strides the employers themselves made in the recruitment industry which Kalibrr considers itself fortunate for being able to be part of.

Candidate Engagement Award of the Year

This distinction is given to both the SME and Enterprise employers who built strong candidate relationships by having constant communication among all their applicants, which was measured based on the response rates they had on Kalibrr.

SME Winner: 7th Media Digital Studios Inc.

Speaking to Kalibrr at the event, Mendelson Quiba, HR Manager for Enterprise Winner Kithecn Beauty Marketing Corp., being recognized means just as much to the company as it has to Kalibrr.

“We want to make sure candidates have a good experience with us, and that what they learn with us is something they can use in other endeavors. So we’re thankful to Kalibrr for this recognition, and for acknowledging for our efforts to provide employment to Filipinos all over the country.”
