With an alleged “boom” in construction activities ongoing, a regional recruitment service wants to remind the public that they don’t have to be “in the know” to find ways to get their slice of the pie.
Caribbean Employment Services Inc. is a market-leading digital talent acquisition service that aims to connect the top talent from the Caribbean with hiring managers, HR professionals and decision-makers in companies both within the Caribbean as well as abroad. Further, it aims to provide the region’s jobseekers and those who are already employed with news and resources related to Caribbean labour.
The group is bringing awareness to additional possibilities after Prime Minister The Honourable Dr. Ralph Gonsalves told a local radio station that construction jobs for skilled workers are at their highest levels ever right now.
“It’s fantastic that skilled workers are seeing high employment rates,” said Joseph Boll, Caribbean Employment Services Inc. CEO. “Skilled workers are almost in-demand if they know where to look, such as our jobs board. Even now, with jobs abound in the country, someone who may not be sure where to look or who may not have any personal connections to get opportunities can absolutely visit our website to seek them out.”
At the same time, Boll noted the prime minister’s hint that more jobs in agriculture could be coming onstream after a number of farmers shifted gears to work in the construction industry.
“If they’re doing it, other skilled workers might be too, leaving openings in new fields,” he said. “This would be a good time to put your feelers out so that when such opportunities come up, you’re already in place to take advantage. Likewise, for employers who may be looking to fill unexpected vacancies, our website can help connect you to the serious jobseekers who are ready and waiting to step up to the plate.”
Overall, Boll said the economy of St. Vincent & the Grenadines certainly seems to be in the right place and Caribbean Employment Services Inc. hopes for its continued success.
