A fintech company offering credit access opportunities to Filipino consumers announced it has increased its workforce to 1,200 to date from only 42 back in 2022. 

In a statement, Skyro said it has hired more to support the company’s aggressive expansion as it continues to reach more Filipino customers in the coming years.

The fast-growing fintech brand said it has experienced exponential growth, establishing an expansive network of over 500 partner merchants and a formidable presence in more than 3,000 stores across the country.

As the brand continues to expand and provide more Filipinos access to credit opportunities through its digital financial products, Skyro recognizes the indispensable role played by its workforce in achieving these milestones.

“Reflecting on our journey, I am deeply appreciative of the remarkable dedication shown by our employees. Their unwavering commitment and tireless efforts have been instrumental in driving Skyro's growth and success,” said Skyro’s co-founder and co-CEO Nasim Aliev.

Asiya Erzhanova, Skyro’s Head of Human Resources, also shared, “Each member of our team plays a vital role in shaping our company's narrative, and their passion fuels our mission to revolutionize the fintech industry. At Skyro, we hold immense gratitude for our people’s contributions, and we are committed to fostering a culture of appreciation and empowerment, ensuring that each individual feels valued and supported in their professional journey.”

As the company prepares for its expansion this year, Skyro said it is committed to fostering a culture centered on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). This will stand as a core of Skyro's values, aimed at acknowledging the potential of every employee regardless of sexual orientation, age, gender identity, nationality, disability, ethnic origin, or marital status.

The company prides itself on its rich and diverse workforce, boasting a balanced gender with nearly equal representation of males (48%) and females (52%) across the company. 

Additionally, Skyro values cultural diversity, providing equal opportunities for Filipino executives to hold top management positions alongside expatriate leaders.

Notably, Skyro's workforce comprises a blend of experienced industry veterans who offer hands-on support and guidance to young professionals eager to learn and contribute insights into industry trends. Millennials make up 74.2 percent of the workforce, with centennials comprising 24.0 percent, while Gen X represents 1.8 percent.

Skyro has also recruited talents from over 10 different countries, including the Philippines. In the Philippines, 156 of its hires come from Visayas and 103 from Mindanao.(Bernie Cahiles-Magkilat)
