Hi Ada! Thank you for this thread. This will be a great help for us, IBM applicants.

Anyway, I just to inquire if you guys, are also the ones responsible for IBM Business Services Inc. recruitment. If so, are you already processing applications of Certified Public Accountants? I applied this April under the Job Posting at Jobstreet.com but I haven’t received a call yet.

Hi marymargaret_25, I sure hope we reach more IBM Daksh applicants through this forum.

Both IBM Daksh and IBS are companies under IBM Corporation, but we have separate recruitment teams and offer different opportunities.

You may send your question directly to 9naguicm@ph.ibm.com. Or you may send me a PM of your contact details so I can ask them to get in touch with you directly.

Hope this helps.

HI,
I applied for a Quality Specialist position and I was already interviewed by Amit Gupta, and then by Anthon Formoso. Elaine Quiambao does a great job in the recruitment department. However, when they tried to call me on April 26th, I wasn't able to answer the call. I tried to get in touch with Elaine, but she hasn't replied yet. I don't know if I missed an opportunity to work for Daksh because I failed to answer that call. I'm already excited to start working for Daksh and I hope I would receive some positive feedback soon.

marymargaret_25 · Apr 29, 2007, 11:22 PM

Thank you for the reply Proud_IBMer. I'll just send my inquiries to the email address you provided. You're a big help.

Hi teancum, thanks for your interest in the Quality Specialist position. I will be forwarding this message to Elaine Quiambao and hope that she recognizes you (as I don't have your real name) so she can give you a call at once.

Don't worry, though, because I don't think that not being able to reach you on one call will jeopardize your chances of getting hired.

She was probably just busy last Friday so she hasn't responded yet. I suggest you send her an email so she knows that you're still interested in the position.

Hope this helps!

Hi, I applied last April 16 @ IBM Daksh in Edsa Central. I got into the final interview with Ms Eleanor I don't know if I passed but she told me that she will be endorsing my application for the training and that I'll just wait for a call either friday or next week but until now I haven't recieved any call from IBM. Does it mean that they already discarded my application or it usually takes more than two weeks for them to call you???

Hi dimaz, usually, recruiters are able to give information about training classes within one to two weeks from application. However, depending on the availability of training classes that you are qualified for, we may not always be able to give immediate feedback.

Kindly PM me your complete name so that I can follow up on this. Thank you.

dimaz · May 1, 2007, 09:35 AM

Hi thank you for replying. She told me that their are no schedules yet for the training and that they would just call. I've already pm my complete name to you tnx!!!

Hi arjukai00,

Thank you for your interest in IBM Daksh! Before I can respond to your query regarding the results of your phone interview, I need to know your answers to the following questions:

1. Do you have a college/university diploma? If not, until what year did you finish? We can only process your application if you have completed at least three years in college, or have finished a certificate or diploma course, because this is the minimum requirement for our accounts.

2. Do you have previous experience in a call center environment?

3. Are you willing to work on a graveyard, schedule-shifting environment? Because this is the nature of a call center job, we require that all our CCS/TS applicants will be willing to work graveyard.

During the phone interview, very basic questions are asked, and your communication skills are briefly assessed.

By answering my questions, I might be able to figure out what the call meant. Moreover, if you can PM me your complete name, I can ask Anne why she wasn't able to call you back.

Thanks!

I worked for IBM Daksh and was a Pioneer member for the telecoms account in PBcom. I resigned after 10 months because of the account. Not that its very hard but because its not a technical account. Im an ECE grad and i'm still looking for the technicality of the work. I told HR that that's my reason for leaving and that if there was a tech account where i can be transferred to, id rather not leave the company because I love it there. But back then, there were no tech account.

Now that I found out that there's a tech account i immediately applied online. I'm working as IT Helpdesk and have been working for 3+ years as Tech support.

After a couple of days somebody from HR called me and did some over-the-phone interview... after a while i mentioned I already worked for Daksh before.... she then stopped the interview and told me to secure a referral form from my OM and another letter (i forgot the second letter). I asked her why do i need a referral form? she didn't answer... I told her i resigned and i wasn't terminated.... It's almost 2 years ago so why would i need a referral form? Can I just simply apply as a new employee again? i don't know what's the purpose of this referral form... but i know i can get one from my OM... i am very much willing to undergo any recruitment process you have and i feel i don't need any refferrals... if i need to go back from scratch its ok for me... Please shed light on this... the last instruction she gave me was to call the number that appeared on my phone when i have the letters.... huh???? not so clear and hr was not that courteous... sorry but that's how i felt..... many tnx...

Hi Belzy

The only thing that the recruitment department will be requesting from you is a copy of your clearance and a recommendation from your TL or your OM. This is a standard process for those who are interested to join our company again. Im glad to hear that you are very much interested in joining IBM. Just secure a recommendation letter from your superiors before and also a copy of your clearance and visit IBM's recruitment office personally. Please feel free to call the Recruitment Department if you have any concerns. Hope this helps even if the reply is a little bit late.

Hi nike_girl, kindly PM me with your full name and contact details so I can remind Martin Sumayao to give you a call. Thanks!

robruiz · Jun 17, 2007, 07:41 AM

Ms. Jen told me that I am too techie for the job I am applying for. And I didn't make it.

I wonder why would be my "being techie" be a ground for not getting an offer.

Anyways, the people at IBM mandaluyong are really nice.
