BRIDGETOWN, 3 February, 2023 — It’s not just imagination: jobs in the Caribbean and Latin America have seen steady growth over the last year. Several international organizations have confirmed as much in their year-end reports, and the trend is expected to continue in the year ahead even in spite of rising global inflation and an expected economic recession. In light of this, Caribbean Employment Services Inc. is urging businesses to make the most of their resources by utilizing online talent acquisition services to help with their expansion needs.
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.
“Now is the time to make sure your business can keep up with the projected growth that’s to come, and make sure you stay ahead of a scramble for good talent,” said Joseph Boll, Caribbean Employment Services Inc. CEO. “Several major sectors saw incredible growth last year, and that will likely continue this year even if major economies enter a recession.”
In particular, jobs in commerce, hotels, restaurants and manufacturing saw the biggest job growth in 2022, according to an ECLAC report. Further, with ongoing efforts to diversify regional economies, developing industries like IT and pharmaceuticals have also seen noted expansion over the last year. Guyana has been a notable example in job growth as it is one of the few Caribbean countries that actually saw incredible economic growth during the pandemic, thanks to its lucrative oil and gas sector. Jobs have continued expanding in that field, as well as in the non-energy sector as the country seeks to diversify. Further, that country alone is expected to need to fill another 60,000 jobs over the next year.
“Notwithstanding some anxiety around the recession, job growth in the Caribbean is actually expected to continue,” Boll said. “Caribbean Employment Services Inc. is the best way to make economic use of your company’s time while ensuring that you’re getting the best talent ahead of labour market uncertainty.”
