Asking for Agency/Processing fee while in PH

Hello, I don't know if that's the right title pero gsto ko lng ishare ito at hingi nmn ako ng tulong/advice sa inyo. 4 years as Sr. Software Engineer exp.ko at andito plng ako sa pilipinas tpos nhire nko sa SG thru agency sa sg. Nginterview kmi thru ng skype tpos after 3 days nkausap ko yung employee ng company na ako ang pplit sa knya kc mgeend na contract nya this November 2016. After a long talk sa employee, yung agency nmn nkausap ko na mgkkaroon ng quota yung company kc foreigner yung aalis. Tpos bngay skn yung address ng company, etc. I've searched the name of employee and company at meron nga dun.

After 2 days nkausap ko agency at ang sbi may 1 goodnews at 1 badnews..inuna ko good news at ang sbi na ako yung pinili ng employer(gen. manager) tpos ngsend xa ng scanned Master Contract n nklgay yung sahod, medical, annual leave, rules, signature ng general manager, etc.

So yung bad news nmn is npgusapan ng agency na mgbyad ako ng agency fee na 4400 sgd. Yung salary na inoffer skn is 2200 sgd. Kpg hnd ako ngbyad they will not process my documents. I think 1st step plng yun kc knkuha plng diploma, tor, passport ko. So nkipagbargain ako kht mgdown ako ng 1100 (25%) tpos kpg spass approve ill pay 3300 (75%) pero they insist until umabot kmi sa 50/50 or 2200 sgd to start the process and 2200 sgd kpg spass approve. Ayaw nla salary deduction ewan ko kung bkit.

It was like "Take it or leave it" situation. I've checked the name of the agency which is LEGIT nman at ok nmn statistics nla pero ang hirap ng sitwasyon ko.

I had this skype interview with the agency at nirecord ko pra meron ako evidence kung skli. Sbi ng agent kung may kaibigan ako sa SG pra ppuntahin ko daw sa agency nla to make some arrangement. Sa monday plng xa ppnta pero i only give 1100. Sinabi ko nrn n wag xa mgssign ng basta at mgskype skn pra alam ko.

Ano mssbi nyo guys? Ganito nba mga agency ngyn sa SG? Very risky lng tlga ito especially kung nsa pinas ka. I can pay and i know may quota pero pano kung hnd naapprove spass diba? Walang sinabi yung agent n may refund which is sad. Please advise nman po jan sa mga nkakaexperience nito.

Sorry nphaba yung kwento boring kc sa ofis. Positive pa nmn ako kht ganito.

I will update this later kung anu npgusapan ng friend ko.

  • Anong position mo sa company na maghi-hire sayo? anong industry/business ng company? kung Sr. Software Engineer ka diyan sa Pinas, anong language?

    Kasi at the very least ang makukuha mong position dito eh Software Engineer/Programmer/Analyst Programmer/Developer or any related positions ay napaka baba ng $2200 na salary, sobra kang lugi, you're being shortchanged. At isa pa, napaka bihiri ng IT related positions na yung employee ang nagbabayad ng agency/recruitment fees, sobrang bihira dito sa IT yan, company usually nag sshoulder niyan.

    Questionable sa akin yang transaction/agreement na yan, baka may sabwatan yang employer at agency.

    Wag mo tanggapin ang $S2200, mababa for a software engineer, tapos increase yearly maglalaro sa 4%-6% kung di ka aalis ng company, 10%-20% kung lilipat ka, mababa pa din di ba?

  • ikaw na lng pumunta dto. magapply nxt yr 3k to 5k slary mo... if prof na tulad mo.. kht agency dto.. wala ka bayaran kc yung cmpny na magbyad sa agency. yung perang 4400 n ibyad.. pampunta mo n lng dto... sobra sobra na yun..
  • since nkausap mo na yung GM why not call him directly and negotiate? pwedi ka pumunta sg tas report ka dun sa company nghihire sa yo..if I wer u mgnda nman qualification mo try ka mna punta sg.
    last option mo nalang agency.
  • Sorry pero sobrang fishy neto. Ang rule of thumb, unless may IPA ka na, wag magbayad sa agency ng kanit ano.
  • Wag mo nlng din yan ituloy. Kasi based na din sa mga exp ko about agency magbabayad ka lang talaga ng sgd 4400 kung APPROVED na pass mo. Tapos ang sinisingil lang ng mga agency dito to process your pass is sgd 300 - 500 lang depende sa agency.. Fishy talaga yan.. wag mo na ituloy. Pag ndi ka kumbinsido wag mo na ituloy. Mayas better opportunity para sayo. Tiwala lang.. :)
