About Us

For the past 3 years, we've been simmering an exciting idea, a platform dedicated to showcasing the incredible talents of Caribbean creatives. This dream simmered on the back burner as we juggled other projects, but then, in January 2023, it burst back to life, fueled by the aftermath of the global pandemic.
The pandemic's impact was like a wakeup call. It revealed that finding opportunities in our respective fields had grown increasingly challenging. We spoke with fellow creatives from across the Caribbean and Latin America and found that they faced the same uphill battle.
In a twist of fate, we crossed paths with global recruiters scouring the globe for creative brilliance. They were tapping into talent from the Philippines, Canada, and other far-off lands. As we conversed and saw the remarkable potential right here in the Caribbean, our initial idea evolved, and Pineapple Jobs was born.
Pineapple Jobs is on a mission, a mission to bridge the gap, connecting the vibrant talent of the Caribbean with global companies in search of top-notch professionals. From social media wizards to nimble-fingered developers and versatile virtual assistants, we're here to make those connections happen.
Company Mission
A world where talent knows no boundaries, where every job seeker from the Caribbean and Latin America has the opportunity to thrive on the global stage, and where employers recognize the richness of diverse perspectives. We envision Pineapple Jobs as the gateway to this future, a trailblazing force that transcends borders, connects communities, and empowers individuals. Through our unwavering commitment to DEI and the continuous upskilling of our candidates, we aspire to redefine the recruitment landscape and create a more inclusive and vibrant global workforce. Together, we envision a world where the sweetest fruit is the shared success of our candidates and the global employers we serve.
