Eve An­der­son Re­cruit­ment Lim­it­ed has suc­cess­ful­ly com­plet­ed ac­qui­si­tion of Caribbean Re­sourc­ing So­lu­tions Lim­it­ed (CRS), an IT re­cruit­ment agency fo­cused in the man­u­fac­tur­ing, con­struc­tion, en­er­gy and petro­chem­i­cal in­dus­tries.

This part­ner­ship marks a move by Eve An­der­son to spe­cialise in IT re­cruit­ment as T&T con­tin­ues to serve as the re­gion­al hub for glob­al busi­ness­es seek­ing to set up or do large projects across the Caribbean and neigh­bour­ing Latin Amer­i­can coun­tries.

"We are ex­cit­ed to be ex­pand­ing our re­cruit­ment ser­vices in IT and con­tin­ue our ef­forts to build our ca­pac­i­ty to serve busi­ness­es across the Caribbean re­gion," said Maria Chong Ton, CEO for Eve An­der­son Re­cruit­ment. "We look for­ward to con­nect­ing busi­ness­es who are search­ing for pro­fes­sion­als in tech­nol­o­gy field and with­in their spe­cif­ic in­dus­try to take them for­ward."

For over 45 years, Eve An­der­son Re­cruit­ment (for­mer­ly Eve An­der­son As­so­ciates) has con­nect­ed busi­ness­es with job­seek­ers across all in­dus­tries in T&T and on sev­er­al con­tract projects across the Caribbean. Since they re­brand­ed in 2013 with new chair­man An­gela Lee Loy, the agency's ser­vices have ex­pand­ed to head­hunt­ing and in­ter­im-man­age­ment re­cruit­ment, pay­roll and com­pli­ance back­ground checks for key in­dus­tries.

"I am de­light­ed that CRS has aligned it­self with an­oth­er for­ward think­ing com­pa­ny which will add a unique val­ue for our clients in Trinidad and To­ba­go and through­out the re­gion. Our com­bined years of ex­pe­ri­ence and ex­per­tise en­sure that we cov­er every as­pect of re­cruit­ing and now of­fer an un­beat­able range of ser­vices to our can­di­dates and clients." said Su­san Hale, CEO for CRS and now a non-ex­ec­u­tive di­rec­tor to the com­pa­ny.

This year, CRS marks its 20th an­niver­sary. The com­pa­ny, launched in April 1996, was the first IT re­cruit­ment agency sole­ly fo­cused on search and se­lec­tion for pro­fes­sion­als in that field in the Caribbean. The com­pa­ny has built a rep­u­ta­tion for per­ma­nent re­cruit­ment and con­tract re­sourc­ing in the en­er­gy sec­tor. Over the years, CRS has suc­cess­ful­ly sup­plied pro­fes­sion­als to com­pa­nies in Bar­ba­dos, Ja­maica, St Vin­cent, Mus­tique Is­land and The Ba­hamas.

"We look for­ward to col­lab­o­rat­ing with Su­san dur­ing this ex­cit­ing time and build­ing long term strate­gic plans to at­tract tech­nol­o­gy com­pa­nies and pro­fes­sion­als in T&T and across the re­gion," said An­gela Lee Loy.
