Consumers are paying more attention to the reputation of companies they choose to patronize these days. They want to know whether the business is operating sustainably or whether they support diversity. It can be tough for HR managers and business leaders to get the little details right while selecting a highly qualified candidate when they’re focused on filling open roles fast, but the CEO of a regional recruiting firm is spreading the word that there are services available to take care of that.
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.
“Clients are paying attention to how your business is operating more than ever,” says Joseph Boll, Caribbean Employment Services Inc. CEO. “They’re paying attention to things like who you hire, and who your managers are. When you want to make a strategic hire that will check all the boxes while also improving your brand’s reputation, you can rely on experts to get it right.”
For instance, diversity and gender equality are major aspects that clients are mindful of. Caribbean Employment Services Inc. supports equal hiring of the right candidate regardless of gender, but also notes that organizations like the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) are encouraging businesses in the region to make more of an effort to eradicate the gender disparities that exist in the modern workforce.
Caribbean women occupy a unique position when it comes to working in the Caribbean. They simultaneously perform the most labour — whether paid or through unpaid domestic work; but are also the most underpaid and face significant gaps in workforce participation. Despite generally attaining higher levels of education, they are often employed in lower-paying jobs while men are more often hired for managerial positions and other high-earning roles. This while the IDB found “a positive association between a larger share of women in the workforce and higher propensities to innovate within firms and to cooperate between firms on innovation.”
“A business looking to make more of an effort to field more women candidates for substantial roles like managers or directors can look to Caribbean Employment Services Inc. for help with accomplishing that goal,” Boll says. “It can be time-consuming and tedious to make the efforts on your own, but our dedicated team of HR specialists and wide talent pool can help businesses make the right hire quickly, effortlessly and efficiently.”
