“Kahit recruiter ka, tao ka rin. Hindi ka machine, bes!”
Let’s start with a truth bomb:
April is PEAK HIRING SEASON. That means full pipelines, urgent slots, and stress levels on caffeine. While it’s exciting from a numbers standpoint, I know you’re also staring at dashboards wondering, “How are we gonna fill this in 2 weeks?”
Here’s the thing—just because your team is performing doesn’t mean they’re thriving. Some of them are quietly burning out behind those “Recruiter of the Week” awards. Yes, they’re scheduling interviews, posting on every BPO job portal, answering follow-ups from every BPO job finder, and smiling through onboarding—but inside, some are screaming.
Let’s be real. You can’t build long-term hiring wins on tired, overworked recruiters.
So today, we’re going to talk about how to keep your team motivated, supported, and still HUMAN during peak season—while still getting the job done.
You can’t keep throwing spreadsheets, Trello boards, emails, and random Viber referrals at your recruiters and expect them to hit clean targets. That’s not strategy—that’s chaos wearing a headset.
When your recruitment process feels like a messy closet, people waste time just trying to find socks. Or in this case—applicants.

📌 Yobi’s Take: If your BPO job app is smoother than your internal hiring flow, that’s a red flag. Treat your recruiters like your candidates—give them tools that work.
Let’s face it—recruitment is one of the most underappreciated jobs out there. You could hire 50 people in a week and still hear, “Okay, where’s the next batch?”
This constant pressure wears people down. That’s why celebrating small wins isn’t optional—it’s essential.

📌 Yobi’s Take: Recognition doesn’t need to be grand. Even a “Nice save!” or “Solid work today” goes a long way. Kasi ‘di lang KPI ang nagpapakilig—appreciation din.
One of my old teammates once told me, “Yobi, I’m so tired of saying ‘Are you amenable to work on-site?’ I hear that line in my sleep.” That’s what burnout sounds like. It’s not just about working hard. It’s about doing the same task until you feel like a chatbot.

📌 Yobi’s Take: Even your best recruiter will burn out if their day feels like a loop. Change the playlist. Give them new beats.
Let me say it louder for the managers in the back: being online at 10 PM doesn’t make you a hero. It means your workload isn’t being managed properly.
Just because your recruiters can stretch their limits doesn’t mean they should. Sustainability > hustle culture.

📌 Yobi’s Take: Work-life balance isn’t a “Gen Z thing.” It’s a survival thing. Even machines need to recharge—what more your humans?
Your team might be brilliant. But brilliance needs backup. If they’re manually copying resumes into sheets, juggling inboxes, and using three different trackers, that’s not productivity—that’s punishment.

📌 Yobi’s Take: Kung mas seamless pa ang BPO job search sa app kaysa sa team workflow mo… Houston, we have a problem.
Your recruitment team is more than just your hiring machine. They’re your frontline. Your brand voice. Your culture carriers.
So treat them like your most valuable asset:
Because the truth is—you can’t fill roles if your recruiters are running on empty.
