Insights · July 2026 · Three things the ads tell you

Staffing agencies and direct employers advertise the same median pay for customer service.

Every month the report carries one analysis like this, drawn from the same postings as the index. One question, one chart, the numbers behind it. Philippines-based jobs only.

Do agencies advertise more than direct employers?

For customer service, it's a tie: agencies post a median of ₱22,500 (884 ads) against ₱22,500 from companies hiring directly (70 ads). For some roles the gap flips.

Which accounts pay more?

Customer service ads that name the account. Healthcare accounts advertise the most; healthcare the least. Ads that name an account are a minority, so read these as signals.
