As part of its international expansion plans, IrishJobs.ie today announced a new venture in the Caribbean, CaribbeanJobs.com. CaribbeanJobs.com will be based in Kingston, Jamaica. The initial focus is on the Jamaica market and later the entire Caribbean. Jamaica has seen a 600% increase in internet penetration in the past five years.
Maria Mahon, CEO, IrishJobs.ie commented: ìThe Caribbean is an exciting opportunity. Economically the region is growing strongly and internet penetration is increasing rapidly. There is currently no significant pan-Caribbean player active in the online recruitment space. The region is a particularly interesting market as, in addition to local jobseekers, it also attracts a significant number of expatriates who use the internet as their primary information source when job seeking.î
CaribbeanJobs.com is to be managed by Fionnuala Walsh from Kilrush, Co Clare. For the past two years Fionnuala has headed up the IrishJobs.ie office in Galway. Fionnuala said of the move: ìThe Caribbean is still at a growth stage for internet use. It is an exciting time to be launching an online business there. I am looking forward to bringing the IrishJobs.ie experience to the Caribbean. î
