Working and Living in the Philippines
Regardless of where you come from, a warm welcome is never far in the Philippines. From family to business to friends, the affection that Filipinos show to all their loved ones is enough for any expat to find comfort in.
An expat shares the work environment in the Philippines on how his family truly feels at home. “Another aspect that I really like is the sense of community that is very strong in the nature of the Filipino. Filipinos love building communities. They like to belong, to communicate, and to be involved. Whether it’s us being together socially as a Microsoft team, or spending time with our partners or attending a community event, people always come willingly. Our Windows 7 launch was one good example of this — we had 17,000 people on our Facebook page, and a number of them even came to our office to celebrate the launch.”

India Lures Expat Managers
With a booming economy, India takes the lead to make homegrown companies global, and in return attracting expats to run international organizations. ”As Indian firms—from airline and airport operators to auto makers and phone firms, drug makers and organized retailers—scale up their operations in the world’s second fastest growing major economy and seek a bigger presence overseas, they are increasingly going beyond the nation’s borders to find top-level executive talent with the experience of big markets. And they are willing to pay top dollar salaries.”

A little more than a week after launching the website, we would like to share more about the technology behind the Expatfinder search engine. When we decided to work on a search engine solution for people living abroad, we knew we wanted to go as deep as possible in the search ranking and algorithms of the engine, to provide a true search experience for our future audience. The team started working on three aspects of the search ranking process and partnered with exalead to provide a cutting-edge technology.
Exalead is a reputable search engine technology provider, and along with its enterprise search solutions, it runs its own search engine with a comfortable interface (it was in 2007 the world’s third largest search engine based solely on size of index).
ExpatFinder introduced a new content ranking technology based on three criteria:
- crawler based criteria:
• Adapted search filters: news, forum, blogs
• quality indexed content
• Localized search
- editorial based criteria:
• A real dedicated editorial team
• Very selective and regularly updated indexation criteria
- user based criteria:
• Contributions (submit new sites)
• Search behavior analysis
As you might have guessed, this content ranking technology soon became named “ExpatRank” technology in the coffee breaks discussions at the Paris office or “kopi” breaks in Singapore.
As part of the development, a Singaporean start-up named Qweki, came up with a promising hybrid niche search solution that we wanted to explore. We decide to run it for the expat blog specific search. The team now keeps on working to improve the search results based on contributions and the feedback we get from you. We will introduce some new features very soon. We would like to give a warm welcome to all the new expatriates and families relocating for this new school year! Enjoy the search on ExpatFinder!
