Meet Lainika E. Johnson, Founder and CEO of PRESS (Philippines Remote Expert Staffing Solutions), a trailblazing Black-owned remote staffing firm that’s reshaping the Philippine recruitment industry. With a fresh approach and dedication to building global connections, her company hosted the first-ever live hiring event in December 2024 in Davao City, the largest city on the country’s second-largest island.
This groundbreaking event united aspiring virtual assistants and industry professionals for a one-of-a-kind experience. Unlike typical job fairs, the Live Hiring Event featured free workshops designed to equip virtual assistants with the skills needed to succeed in the global remote work market.
Johnson, who traveled to the Philippines to personally lead the event, broke industry standards by directly interacting with applicants. This hands-on approach deeply resonated with attendees and showcased her company’s distinctive style.
“This isn’t just about hiring; it’s about creating opportunities and offering resources to help talented individuals thrive,” she shared. “PRESS stands out by not only connecting clients with tech-savvy virtual assistants but also investing in the growth and success of our talent.”
PRESS uses a thorough talent acquisition process to ensure that only the most skilled professionals join its network. With expertise in AI and advanced technology, its virtual assistants go beyond just support – they are strategic partners that enhance efficiency and drive innovation for businesses worldwide.
The Live Hiring Event reflects Johnson’s mission to empower Filipino professionals while challenging conventional recruitment methods. Her company is reshaping the remote staffing industry and fostering a global community where talent and innovation thrive.
