Likha Careers

Likha Careers, a startup recruitment agency founded by CEO James Reed, aims to connect Filipino job seekers with quality employment opportunities. Motivated by a desire to positively impact the Filipino workforce, Likha focuses on matching talented local candidates with suitable employers.

The Challenge

Navigating Complex Regulations: HR and Payroll Challenges

Likha Careers, under the leadership of foreign entrepreneur James Reed, initially grappled with the complex HR and payroll regulations in the Philippines. This reliance on professional services for compliance highlighted the necessity for an in-house solution to manage HR and payroll operations more autonomously. The challenge intensified with the urgent need to align a new payroll system with their business registration, demanding a rapid onboarding process within a one-month deadline. Additionally, the existing manual process of payroll management, which consumed significant time and resources, underscored the inefficiency and need for an automated system to free up staff for strategic growth initiatives.
