Jobseekers International Placement Agency

We are registered with the Ministry of Labour in Jamaica to operate as a recruiting organization, bringing international employers and job seekers together.

Located in Kingston, Jamaica, Jobseekers International Placement Agency (JIPA) brings a fresh and innovative approach to international recruitment programs.

JIPA started as the brainchild of our Managing Director, Pheona Wilson, who in 2003 had difficulties in finding a job. In an effort to move back in the employment line, a decision to assist unemployed individuals in finding jobs locally was made, hence creating a job and the eventual birth of the Jobseekers Employment Agency (JEA).

The success at local employment resulted in recommendations by satisfied employers to other employers and in 2004, JEA was requested by Auto Body Works & Paint Ltd., an employer in Grand Cayman, to provide two experienced and qualified auto-mechanics. This venture was an astounding success and brought JEA its first taste of international job placement. Though the number was only two, the appreciation and gratitude expressed by the applicants and employer were overwhelming and encouraged JEA to explore further. In 2007, the Jobseekers International Placement Agency (JIPA) was officially established.
