Running the Bases today with John Jonas, Founder and CEO of OnlineJobs.PH

Today’s guest is a self-professed “Terrible Employee”, and we can see why.  On Monday mornings, when others are brushing their weekends off to get back into the office grind, he is most likely still out in the Mountains in Utah, where he lives with his wife and 5 kids.  An extreme sports enthusiast, today’s guest is an avid backcountry skier and mountain biker.  His helmet cam videos of him racing down the slopes can give you whiplash from watching.  

When he’s not on the mountain, you might find him at the Lake - boating, windsurfing, or even flying around with a Jet Pack like Iron Man. He has a lot, a LOT of Time to spend with his family and his hobbies!!  

He created the world’s largest website for finding Virtual Assistants in the Philippines.  His company has over 2 Million resumes, and he currently has over 500,000 employers worldwide.

Key Lessons

1. Hiring someone from the Philippines can be a great way to find success in business.
2. There are no back-end costs or communication restrictions when hiring online.
3. Providing value to employees is essential for efficient time and resource management.
