Think Global Recruitment, the leading specialist in international financial recruitment, has launched a global campaign to fill an array of positions within prestigious accountancy, commerce and financial service companies in the Caribbean and Bermuda.

Managing director of Think Global Recruitment, Abigail Stevens, said an international career move will greatly enhance your long-term career prospects and can also improve your lifestyle.

“A recent survey of Accountants we have placed overseas found 94 percent enjoyed an improved lifestyle, 91 percent felt working overseas would enhance their long-term career opportunities and 79 percent were financially better off as a result of their overseas move,” said Abigail.

Due to low levels of tax, the Caribbean boasts a thriving financial services sector, resulting in a myriad of job opportunities in the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Trinidad & Tobago and Turks & Caicos.
