Davao City, Philippines - The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) here is targeting on the spot hiring during job fairs, labor and employment officer IV Cristita Coro said.
Coro said DOLE has been discouraging manpower pulling during job fairs or a mechanism in which the employers ask the applicants to submit bio-data and conduct interview for future vacancies.
