"I can't overstate how impressed I am with your site. [It] is user friendly and the wealth of knowledge on the various islands and in the Resources section in particular exceeded my expectations. No other recruitment site comes close."

"I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for being so punctual with arranging our interview, and to thank you for being very prompt in forwarding me all the latest job vacancies. 

I've heard some horror stories with other recruiting agencies but I would be very happy to recommend you and Hamilton Recruitment to any of my friends".

"I can’t believe that I have been here for a month now - it’s gone so quickly! The first couple of weeks were hectic: trying to sort out a house, get a car, get set up with a local doctor, insurance, work out where everything was. But it’s such a small Island that I already feel I know it pretty well.

I’m so glad that I made the move. I’ve got a new house, which is nestled amongst palm trees and flowers, with a gorgeous swimming pool and a jacuzzi. I’ve met some really nice people and there’s already a group of about eight of us. The group keeps expanding as we meet more people - it’s so friendly.  

Life in the Cayman Islands is also quite laid back. Outside of work, it’s too hot to rush around for anything. I just love life here. Because the Island is only 26 miles long there are a limited number of bars and restaurants - most of the action is on Seven Mile Beach. You have to work out which bar the party is at on any given night. Of course, after work you can also fit in a lot in the evenings  – pretty much everywhere is within a five-mile radius of where I'm staying. And the daytime activities are unreal. A typical weekend involves: diving, scuba, sailing, golf, cycling, lying on the beach, eating, drinking, pool parties, salsa dancing…. and the weather is so reliable.  

I’ve been sailing today with a friend and it was a little windy. It’s great to be back into dinghy sailing. The water is crystal clear and so warm – it’s lovely sailing in a bikini and a life vest. You can see the bottom of the ocean floor where the water is so clear. The sea looks like patches of bright turquoise and emerald. When we were out, I noticed a dark patch on the water and thought it could be some coral. I was getting ready to tack away but noticed the dark patch was moving towards us fairly quickly - it turned out to be a massive school of fish. There are all sorts of wildlife in the water. So far I have only snorkelled (diving later) and have seen lots of fish, barracuda, stingrays, turtles. It’s a pretty good way to spend a Sunday afternoon.           

The weather is hot every day except for when there is a tropical storm… quite an eye-opener the first time. It pours for about half an hour by which time there are puddles that almost seem to come up to your knees. Then the sun comes out and the rain just steams away! (I have to say it’s pretty humid too – I’m having to get used to bad hair days).

Since most people have left home to move over here, pretty much everyone is up for getting the most out of every single day. On Friday we went to a party in a beach bar - the best night I have had so far. We bumped into some of the Caymanians that I work with and they insisted I sample some of the local coconut rum ...before hitting the dance floor!

Anyway, that’s it for now. I hope you are well and hopefully we’ll speak soon."

“I’ve landed safe and sound and am having a great time. Bermuda is out of this world.

I stayed in a guesthouse for the first couple of nights and have just have moved into my new house (it's bright yellow - very art deco!) overlooking the ocean. I must say it’s great: close to work and only $1,025 per month.

When I arrived on Thursday, two of the girls from work met me at the airport. Everyone you meet is so open and friendly. I dropped off my stuff, got showered, put on some summer clothes and we went for a lovely meal and drinks over in the bay. The restaurants here are great and I just love the views from everywhere!

Friday morning, I woke up really early because of the time difference so I wandered across to the beach (how bad is that!). It was amazing, walking past coconut and banana trees, over bridges with views of tropical fish, all in the scorching heat - then cooling off in the clearest water I’ve ever seen. OH MY GOD ….I just love it.  (Mind you, I was caught in my first tropical rain shower yesterday and got soaked!). Then after moving into my house on Saturday, we went to get my scooter. It was hilarious learning to drive it but I’m getting used to it now - a little scary at first but loving it at the same time and wanting to zoom around exploring the Island. Then, on Saturday afternoon, we went to Elbow Beach and I managed to start work on getting a decent tan.

Bermuda seems really big. Somehow I had imagined a tiny place the size of my hometown but for some reason it seems much larger. Maybe that’s because I’ve only just arrived and it’s still all new to me. That’s about all right now...  thanks for getting me here.”

"Cayman is brilliant, great people, excellent environment. I am getting all the support I need from my new employer. Believe me, they are a great team. My journey went ahead as planned, with no hitches whatsoever. I was welcomed at the airport and guided to my hotel.

Work started on Tuesday and I have also been doing some personal orientation - opening up a bank account and making plans for accommodation.
 

Let me take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to you and your team for bringing me to these fantastic Islands. A great start to 2006 & truly a dream come true for me."
