Membership Highlights
Ask any PSIA member company what their hardest constraint is this year, and talent will be at or near the top of the list. Not clients. Not tooling. People.
The problem with only hiring experience
Every software company in the country is competing for the same pool of experienced engineers. The offers escalate, the counteroffers arrive faster, and the developer hired last quarter is already being courted again. It is an expensive race, and winning it once doesn’t mean winning it again next quarter.
The teams that hold together over time tend to run a second track alongside it: they hire for potential and grow their own. An engineer who joins as a fresh graduate learns your codebase, your clients, and your standards from the start. A few years in, they are the person onboarding everyone else, and you never had to win them in a bidding war.
Why it’s hard to do well
Meeting strong graduates early means campus presence: job fairs, student organization partnerships, sponsorships, career-office relationships, rebuilt every hiring season, usually by a team that already has a full workload. Skip a season and the pipeline goes quiet. And even when the outreach works, what comes back is volume: a stack of resumes that still needs screening before anyone knows who is actually worth an interview.
| The idea isn’t the hard part. The reach is.
What Jia Talent Vault does differently
Jia Talent Vault is a curated early-career hiring network built for software companies, systems integrators, and technology teams. Instead of waiting for candidates to find a job posting, it sources fresh graduates and interns directly through university job fairs, student organization partnerships, and campus events across priority schools including UP, Ateneo, DLSU, UST, Mapua, PUP, and more.
Every profile is verified and interviewed before a member company sees it. Contact details are confirmed, candidates complete a structured interview that is recorded and reviewable, and their skills are mapped against the roles they are being considered for. What reaches your team is a shortlist with context, not a stack of resumes.
