Simply put I have spent the last couple of months looking for a good recruiter, preferably from a financial services orientated background, but as the weeks have gone on the lack of candidates is staggering!

You would think that living and working for an amazing company in the Cayman Islands would be a huge draw. Great earnings (Tax free), no commute, live on the beach and do what you love in a busy market with plenty of potential!

I organise a HR conference here and the speakers I bring down simply love it - Ask Tim Sackette or Jennifer McClure! I met a whole bunch of great people at SHRM15 including your executive editor Mr Matt Charney - Everyone is very keen to come to Cayman and trust me it is awesome.

So what am I doing wrong? - I can't believe that it should be this hard for people to break their comfort zones and get out and explore the world and be turned on by living in a place only an hour or so flight from Miami....

To clarify I have had lots of HR folk apply for the role - but I have to have a pure recruiter, agency background, 360, run a desk, build relationships etc... 

I could turn this blog into an analysis of all the people who say to me "I would love to work in the Cayman Islands" vs the amount of those who actually would go and work anywhere, the resulting stats would be very few.  There is always a sick grandma right at the end of the process.... the real answer is people are scared about what they don't know... my response... you will go through life never really learning anything, meeting anyone or simply enjoying what you do....

So over to the recruiting blogs community..... any good recruiters want to come and work in the Caribbean? :) Or Any advice where I need to look (Have posted ads everywhere!)
