🌍 Case Study: Turning the Flywheel – Caribbean Talent in Global TechSummary
What began as a single question in a town hall sparked a hiring transformation—bringing over 70 high-impact Caribbean professionals into global roles, proving that access—not ability—was the missing link.The Challenge
Despite strong recruitment volumes at a leading global tech company, talent from the English-speaking Caribbean—especially from Jamaica, Trinidad, St. Lucia, and Barbados—was rarely included in formal pipelines.
Bias (implicit and structural) often favored candidates from Spanish-speaking LATAM countries, and Caribbean professionals frequently had to migrate to find opportunity—even for remote-first roles. Local candidates with exceptional skills were either overlooked or filtered out due to lack of exposure, formatting issues in resumes, or assumptions around readiness.The Turning Point
A former team member, who also served on the leadership board of a Caribbean employee group, posed a bold but respectful question during a company-wide town hall:
"Is the English-speaking Caribbean a region we should continue to focus on for recruiting top-tier talent?"
The answer was yes. The validation, publicly given, created a ripple effect. That recording—shared privately with two internal advocates—became a catalyst.The Flywheel Effect
Inspired by the Good to Great principle of building momentum through disciplined action, here’s what happened next:
ERGs Collaborated: Internal team members from PR, comms, and recruiting began to align on the issue.
Gatekeepers Were Empowered: A Caribbean-aligned recruiter was quietly invited into the formal LATAM talent review loop—a true "seat at the table".
Community Support Emerged: Employees across the company volunteered to coach, mentor, and review resumes for prospective candidates.
Skills-Gap Solutions Were Built: Workshops were created to help Caribbean applicants refine their resumes and improve interview readiness.The Outcome
Within 18 months:
70+ professionals from Caribbean universities and communities were hired across departments—engineering, operations, sales, and product.
Several have gone on to win internal awards and lead teams.
The program continues informally—powered by alumni who pay it forward.Why It Matters
This is what DEI looks like in action: not performative, but intentional. Not top-down, but grassroots.
The Caribbean isn’t short on talent—it’s short on access.
One question, backed by belief and quiet alignment, turned into a flywheel of opportunity.
At the Caribbean Tech Talent Pool, we exist to accelerate these flywheels, connect top-tier talent with forward-thinking companies, and ensure no brilliant Caribbean mind gets left behind and are included in the world's evolving race.🧠 What Does This Mean for a Company Looking for Talent?

🏦 Case Study: From WhatsApp to Workforce – FirstCaribbean Hires from the Pool


Summary
Sometimes, all it takes is one share. In 2021, a tech job posting from FirstCaribbean was shared inside the Caribbean Tech Talent Pool WhatsApp group. One member applied—and got the job. Years later, they’re still there, growing and upskilling. That single move opened doors for others to believe in the process.


The Challenge
FirstCaribbean, like many regional employers, had a hiring need in tech. But traditional recruiting channels in the region often miss qualified, trusted talent—especially those passively seeking roles or those skeptical of job ads with unclear credibility.
At the same time, many Caribbean tech professionals, from entry-level to senior leaders, were looking for real opportunities—but wanted to hear about them from sources they trusted.

The Turning Point
A FirstCaribbean job post was surfaced through internal channels and shared in the Caribbean Tech Talent Pool—a curated WhatsApp group made up of 300+ vetted, English-speaking Caribbean professionals in tech.
No ad spend. No formal program. Just a job post shared with the right people at the right time.
A pool member reached out, interviewed, and got the role.
They’re still there today—growing, learning, and adding value.

The Network Effect
The Caribbean Tech Talent Pool wasn’t built overnight. It was formed from the credibility and trust of a founder well known in regional tech circles—a former global tech executive with a track record of identifying and developing talent.
What sets this pool apart is its deep signal strength:


Members range from interns to CEOs of leading tech firms and government agencies.
Candidates trust the jobs shared, because they trust the source.
Employers get serious applicants, not spam or guesses.
There's a built-in referral flywheel—success stories lead to more trust, and more talent engagement.

The Outcome
1 WhatsApp message → 1 hire → Ongoing success.
A regional employer secured a skilled, committed hire.
The talent gained stability, ongoing growth, and now serves as proof to others that this pool delivers.

What Does This Mean for a Company Looking for Talent?
It means you don’t need to spend thousands on recruitment ads to get qualified Caribbean candidates—you need the right distribution channel and credibility layer.
Here’s what the FirstCaribbean story shows:Trusted curation beats mass promotion. Candidates responded because they trusted the source.
Speed and simplicity matter. No red tape—just one share and a real result.
A job offer can trigger a whole flywheel. One hire increases trust for hundreds more.


Why the Talent Pool Works
The Caribbean Tech Talent Pool isn’t a random collection of jobseekers. It’s a high-trust network formed through years of credibility, relationship-building, and regional influence.
We meet Caribbean tech talent where they are:


WhatsApp groups
Alumni chats
Industry events
Personal referrals
And when we say "this role is legit"—they believe us. That’s our value to them, which incentivises them to connect to you.

Case Study: Nokia Hires Trusted Talent via the Caribbean Tech Talent Pool


Summary
A job opportunity at Nokia was shared inside the Caribbean Tech Talent Pool. Without needing a job board, career fair, or formal campaign, the right candidate, Kyle Nunez, was sourced, hired, and is now actively growing inside the company. Once again, trust was the difference.


The Challenge
Nokia, like many global tech firms operating in or adjacent to the Caribbean, often overlooks the region's English-speaking talent due to visibility gaps, structural bias, or the complexity of regional hiring.
At the same time, highly skilled Caribbean professionals often hesitate to apply through cold job portals—especially when there's no clear signal that the role is real, accessible, or welcoming to them.


The Turning Point
A Nokia opportunity surfaced and was shared through the Caribbean Tech Talent Pool WhatsApp group—a curated network of over 300 high-ROI tech professionals from across Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, St. Lucia, and beyond.

No campaigns. No consultants. Just signal sent to a trusted pool.
One member applied directly.
Got the role.
And continued to grow.
The Power of Trust-Based Distribution
The Caribbean Tech Talent Pool isn’t a random talent list—it’s a community of trust.
Created by a recognized Caribbean tech leader with deep industry ties, the pool includes:
Software engineers, cybersecurity experts, cloud architects, data scientists
Government CIOs, startup founders, IT directors, and entry-level talent
All personally vetted or referred through trusted channels
Jobs shared in the pool aren’t ignored—they’re acted on. Because talent knows we only share the real ones.
The Outcome
1 job share → 1 direct hire → long-term value at Nokia
The candidate entered with context, confidence, and credibility
Nokia gained a regional asset with no hiring friction


What Does This Mean for Companies Like Nokia?
It means you don’t need to guess where to find great Caribbean tech talent—you just need to go where trust already lives.


This story proves:Quality > Quantity: One trusted connection beats 100 cold applicants
The region is ready: There’s no shortage of talent—just a shortage of signal

Why This Pool Is Different
