WorkNow exists because Filipino professionals shouldn't earn less for doing the same work.
Create your free profileFreelance platforms turn your career into an auction. You bid against thousands of people for the same task, and the only way to win is to go lower - until your rate has nothing to do with your skill.
Local job boards are full of local salaries. The international companies that would happily pay you three times more never show up there, because they're not hiring in Manila - they're hiring remotely.
So you end up in the worst place possible: overqualified, underpaid, and convinced that's just how it works.
Three things we built differently - because they're the three reasons remote work goes wrong.
Your profile is read the way a good recruiter would read it - skills, tools, industries and the kind of work you actually want. Every job you see is scored against that, so your feed is short, relevant and worth your time.
If you're a VA with Shopify experience, you won't see job posts asking for Java developers.
Every post on WorkNow shows a rate. When an employer chooses not to disclose one, we publish a WorkNow salary estimate based on the role, required skills and comparable listings - so you always know the ballpark before you invest an hour writing a cover letter.
No more applying blind and finding out the budget is ₱8,000/month for senior work.
Before a company can post, we check its business identity, domain and payment history, and we screen every listing for the classic red flags - upfront fees, vague pay, off-platform payment requests.
We rejected 30% of employer signups in the last month.
Indicative ranges based on comparable remote roles across platforms
A Virtual Assistant earning ₱18,000 locally can earn ₱45,000–65,000 on WorkNow - same work, same hours.
Earnings depend on role, experience and hours worked. Figures are indicative medians, not guarantees.
These are the roles international employers hire for most - with real pay ranges from live listings.
I went from ₱15k locally to ₱60k remote in my first month on WorkNow. The pay ranges were right there on every post, so I never wasted a night on a job that couldn't afford me.
