Abstract This study presents the design, development, and evaluation of “ResiLinked,” a web-based localized job portal developed to improve employment accessibility for informal workers within the Municipality of Macabebe, Pampanga. Informal workers frequently experience exclusion from mainstream digital employment platforms due to limited digital literacy, lack of formal educational credentials, and the complex requirements imposed by conventional job portals. To address these challenges, the researchers utilized a mixed-methods research design and employed the Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology in developing the system. Data gathering was conducted through qualitative interviews, expert evaluations, and a quantitative survey involving one hundred (100) respondents from selected barangays. The system was evaluated using the ISO/IEC 25010 software quality standards and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to assess technical quality and user acceptance. Findings revealed that ResiLinked achieved “Very High” evaluations in usability, performance efficiency, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use, demonstrating its effectiveness as a localized and skills-based employment platform for informal workers. The platform successfully improved job accessibility, strengthened barangay-level employment matching, and promoted digital inclusion through its Tagalog-friendly and user-centered interface. The study concludes that community-centered digital employment systems can help bridge the digital divide and support inclusive economic participation within local communities. Future enhancements may include the development of a native mobile application and the integration of digital payment systems to further strengthen support for the informal economy.
