TotalDev Brief History

Two decades of purpose, people, and cooperative excellence.

TotalDev Brief History

The early part of 2005 saw its inception with a group of dynamic, purpose-driven professionals who bonded together to make a difference in the world of work and in the community. Compelled with the willingness to serve the community and the country and infusing the time-tested spirit and strength of Cooperativism, the incorporators, initially composed of twenty individuals from diverse fields, formed the Totaldev Multipurpose Cooperative.

Totaldev cooperative came into being as CDA issued its Certificate of Registration No. E-624-4670 on March 29, 2005 while DOLE issued the same with Registration No. NCR-9-0505-347-B on May 17, 2005. In its delivery of services, foremost to Totaldev are the working class and its partner-companies as it strives and dedicates itself as the total outsourced functions provider, manpower and placement solutions founded on the quality and reliability of services, well-trained members and cost effectiveness.

It aims to achieve a sustainable and mutually beneficial relationship with its business networks, like the financial institution, schools, religious organizations, cooperatives, government entities and immediate communities through just-in-time delivery of services that will ensure growth for all parties involved, in the most cost effective way.

Totaldev's practices are aligned with the professional, ethical standards of the Cooperative. Its members, the driving force of its service commitment, are imbued with the spirit of Cooperativism, and values that build character, and the discipline of professionalism to make them responsive to the needs of the individual, the company and the community. And this sets Totaldev apart from the rest.

The TotalDev Approach

Our comprehensive recruitment and deployment process.

We provide the ultimate program, which includes the following ingredients:

01

HR Staffing Review

To set directions and expectations at every critical step of the way through an initial meeting — reviewing the learning that has taken place, considering how it relates to the organization's overall strategy, and giving the client added assurance that the program is on track.

02

Sourcing

TotalDev taps its strategic network of schools and pool of high-caliber candidates through job fairs, referrals, listings, advertisements, and electronic reach.

03

Resume Analysis, Job History & Behavioral Interviews

TotalDev believes that past behavior determines future behavior. We review candidates' academic performance and previous work experience, and conduct interviews using targeted STAR or PAR methods to assess potential performance.

04

TotalDev Deployment

TotalDev provides a match that integrates the client's requirements, working closely with the applicant member who will be deployed to the client's workplace. The deployed member is provided a working area and logistical support to deliver the agreed functions upon qualifying.

05

Positive Attitude Towards Work Assessment

TotalDev conducts an assessment to help identify each candidate's work values and attitudes.

06

Technical / Practicum Exercises

TotalDev integrates practical, behavioral, and technical exercises, along with field exposure, into the screening process to assess each candidate's potential and readiness for the job.

07

Pre-Deployment Values & Work Orientation

TotalDev conducts a two-day values and work orientation workshop for selected candidates, introducing and instilling positive values aligned with the client's corporate culture and behavioral standards — critical to the success of the role. We believe this step ensures the efficiency and effectiveness of the succeeding selection and training processes on the part of the client.

Other program elements will most likely emerge during the process. Our overall basis for identifying candidates who possess the right knowledge, attitudes, skills, habits (KASH), and values is the key to the effective recruitment and selection of member applicants.
