Just because the name is on the list, it doesn’t mean they are valid. Don’t accept a reason that their license is still being processed. They have to be fully licensed. Remember, it is your money they are taking. Don’t make it “T.Y.” money. If the deal sounds too good, don’t sign up. Find out from POEA if the deal they are offering is true. You make a call to POEA. Yes, it costs money but how much is the money you lost in calling POEA compared to the money you will pay to the illegal recruiter? So protect yourself and be informed.
You have to look closer at the status. The status should say Valid License and has a Validity Date.
Here’s an example of the information:
Company Name
Company Address
Company Tel No/s
Company Email Address :
Company Website :
Company Official Representative
License Status : Valid License (OK)
License Validity : 7/20/2011 to 7/19/2015
If you see the Recruiter or Recruitment Agency status says: Cancelled, Delisted, Denied Renewal, Expired, Forever Banned, Inactive, and Suspended, then stay away from these companies. Do not give them any money.
Tips given by POEA on How to Avoid Illegal Recruiters
1. Do not apply at recruitment agencies not licensed by POEA.
2. Do not deal with licensed agencies without job orders.
3. Do not deal with any person who is not an authorized representative of a licensed agency.
4. Do not transact business outside the registered address of the agency. If recruitment is conducted in the province, check if the agency has a provincial recruitment authority.
5. Do not pay more than the allowed placement fee. It should be equivalent to one month salary, exclusive of documentation and processing costs.
6. Do not pay any placement fee unless you have a valid employment contract and an official receipt.
7. Do not be enticed by ads or brochures requiring you to reply to a Post Office (P.O.) Box, and to enclose payment for processing of papers.
8. Do not deal with training centers and travel agencies, which promise overseas employment.
9. Do not accept a tourist visa.
10. Do not deal with fixers.
How Illegal Recruiters Work
Ang illegal recruiter ay:
Report the agency, person or recruiter to POEA if you see or experience any of the above before you get victimized.
Why play victim? Find out for yourself before you lose all the money you will pay.

gd afternoon po. .my available po ba kya machine operator? ? Funish contract po ako s malaysia last december 2014..
Hi po. Gusto ko po mag-apply abroad as front desk officer in any hotel. May kumakausap po sakin na recruiter kaso nung tingnan ko sa POEA list, cancelled na pala yung agency. Nanghihinayang po ako kasi no placement fee, kaunti lang babayaran sa medical (700.00 lang yung hinihingi) kaso nag-alangan ako nang makita yung status nila. Ano po ang best option para sa akin? Sana po matulungan niyo ako. Salamat.
Jonan.
Jonan,
POEA is the valid list. Andyan na yung sagot ng tanong mo. Sorry lang but you have to trust yung gut mo. Cancelled na yung permit nila, then don’t do it. P700 nga pero kung 1,000 kayo na hiningi-an ng P700, sinong napanginabangan nila?
Trust your gut and that’s good na nag-check ka sa POEA for authorized agencies. Sana bawa’t applicant pareho sa yo, chinicheck muna bago pasukan yung agency.
hello,
my agency ba sa tacloban na pwede applayan papuntang hongkong?
hi,
nag aapply po ako ng work sa taiwan sa isang agency dito sa pinas kaso po sabi ng broker ng agency eh lahat kmi mga pumasa sa interview eh mag under go salary deduction.ang placement pong hinihingi ay 70k + 30k na commission at wag daw bbnggitin sa agency ang tungkol dito.my cash ako pambayad sa placement pero mas ini insist nila ang SDduction..
ano po kaya ibig sabihin nito? saka sobrang laki po yata ng placement na hinihingi sa amin.
please advise.
thank you.
stay away kung ganun. Trust your instinct. Ikaw yung nagpapawis and sila yung tumataba. Hmmm …

Hi Eva,
I’m sorry to say, I do not have experience and know idea on what to do with your situation.
Maybe ask the Philippine Embassy dyan?
Good luck na lang po.

Hi,
You have to get the prospective employees through the POEA (Philippine Overseas Employment Agency) in the Philippines.
Thank you.
