The Croatian Employment Services has opened a total of 435 job opportunities for Filipino workers under a Government-to-Government (G2G) hiring program, the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) said.
DMW Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac said the the job openings cover three major positions in the hospitality and food service sectors: 255 room attendants, 110 waiters, and 70 cooks.
Those who would be hired, according to Cacdac, will receive salaries ranging from €976.99 to €1,079.24, or approximately ₱62,500 to ₱69,000 gross monthly, depending on the position.
“This marks a significant step in expanding safe overseas employment opportunities for Filipinos in Europe,” said Cacdac, referring to the G2G agreement facilitated by President Marcos.
“The DMW continues to expand government-to-government hiring initiatives that guarantee fairness, transparency, and protection for overseas Filipino workers,” he added.
To qualify, Cacdac said applicants must be Filipino citizens aged 18 years and above, have completed at least 10 years of education (secondary level), possess a TESDA NC II Certification in the relevant field, and be physically and mentally fit for overseas employment.
He said English proficiency is required but prior work experience is not mandatory.
A valid NBI clearance, PSA-issued birth certificate, and passport with at least one year validity must also be presented.
Interested applicants must register online via the DMW Portal (https://portal.dmw.gov.ph), secure an appointment, and personally submit their documentary requirements to the DMW Central Office in Ortigas or any DMW Regional Office. Submissions through courier will not be accepted. Only those with complete documents will be processed.
The deadline for submission of applications is September 24, 2025, while interviews for pre-qualified applicants are scheduled for October 15, 2025 (Wednesday) in Mandaluyong City.
The DMW reminded applicants that only those with complete documents will be accepted and that transfer of appointments between DMW offices will not be allowed.
The list of pre-qualified applicants for interview will be posted by the Department.
