Opportunities
Being part of the SSS team means making a real difference in the lives of millions of Filipinos. The organization is not just about offering jobs; it’s about building careers. With a supportive work environment and a clear path for advancement, SSS employees enjoy a workplace that values both professional and personal growth.
Eligibility
Interested in applying? First, let’s talk about the eligibility criteria you need to meet.
Applicants must fulfill the Qualification Standards specific to the position they’re eyeing, as outlined in Annex C. This includes educational background, work experience, and relevant training.
Additionally, those already employed and looking to transfer within SSS must have a ‘Very Satisfactory’ performance rating. For employees evaluated every six months, this rating is required for the last two periods. For annual evaluations, the rating must be for the last assessment period.
SSS also allows candidates with relatives working within the organization to apply. However, restrictions apply if you have more than one relative within the third degree of connection or if your relative is the head or supervisor of the unit you’re applying to.
Moreover, all applicants must adhere to the Civil Service Commission rules regarding administrative cases. And here’s a crucial tip: you can only apply for one position, so make your choice carefully.

When applying to SSS, proof of eligibility is crucial. This can be demonstrated through documents like a report of rating, license, certificate of admission, or certificate of eligibility.
Additionally, you’ll need to submit a Transcript of Records for your academic qualifications, including both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees if applicable.
Current employees must also provide signed certificates of employment, detailing their official duties and responsibilities, along with service records and any certifications or personnel orders.
