It takes a dream to create a successful business idea. It takes people to make dreams a reality. Could you be one of those people? The founder of BIGFISH MANILA had a very powerful vision… to improve everyday life for the majority of people.

BIGFISH MANILA values

At BIGFISH MANILA, we don’t just want to fill jobs; we want to partner with people. We want to recruit unique individuals who share our values. Co-workers are not restricted at BIGFISH MANILA; we listen and support each individual to identify his or her needs, ambitions and capabilities.

Work hard, be yourself

What do we look for in a job candidate?

An ability to do the job is obviously the starting point. But beyond that we look for many other personal qualities such as a strong desire to learn, the motivation to continually do things better, simplicity and common sense, the ability to lead by example, efficiency and cost-consciousness. These values are important to us because our way of working is less structured than that of many other organizations.

As you will have noticed, those who work at BIGFISH MANILA are referred to as “co-workers” and not “employees”. This may seem a little odd to begin with, but as most people quickly come to understand, our terminology is symbolic of a special mindset – one which says we all have a contribution to make to the success of the company, and that every single role is important in its own way.

There are many jobs to be done, and our organization has a knack of bringing out the best in people. Or… to put it more precisely, providing an arena in which people can discover and reveal the best in themselves.
