What staff have to say
Thank you so much for all your assistance. You are amazing at what you do and SteppingStones is the most professional and personable company I have ever had the opportunity to work for. You definitely set the standard!!!
I just wanted to say thanks again to all of you for your time, support and kindness over the past 6 months. When we started looking at a move abroad and Cayman was thrown into the mix, never in a million years did I think I would end up here, let alone find a permanent position, due to my lack of experience in the legal and financial services industries. But, thanks to you, here I am 6 months later with 3 months experience at a global law firm and 3 months at a fund services company under my belt! I’m delighted with how things have turned out and I can’t thank you all enough. Take care, all the best and see you all soon.
Cori Hatcher- Personal AssistantA very sincere thank you to the team at Steppingstones for guiding me through the process of seeking employment in the Caymans. Lindsey, as well as other team members, steered me through my job search from start to finish. I am very thankful for all of their hard work and I would not be here and without them!
Adam Clark - Administration AssistantI just wanted to say bye and thank you for all. I am now in Canada and I meant to send this before leaving, but relocating was hectic. Your service was top rate, very professional and the contract I gained via SteppingStones was brilliant, and a great addition to my professional profile.
Christine Bodden - AttorneyI just wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you for all that you have done for me with respect to our move to the Caymans. You (and your entire team) have been nothing but fantastic since day 1 as well as whilst we were still in SA working things out, having evening phone calls and all the last minute arrangements re my work permit etc.
Thank you for all your hard work ….. finding me employment, looking after me on arrival, organising me, paying me, involving me with your drinks and therefore introducing me to lots of new friends, keeping me sane!!!
But especially to Ciara for believing in me initially and continuing to keep in contact when I was in UK when I was pulling my hair out with worry whether things would work out. You always, always put my mind at ease and I felt I could trust you completely, which I did, and here I am. Thank you Ciara. X
I will always be a 'SteppingStones' girl and proud of it.
Terry Ashby - Legal SecretaryI was with SteppingStones for over three years, and from my first contact with them they were professional, helpful, friendly and welcoming. Having knowledge of all other recruitment agencies in Cayman, I am pleased to say that SteppingStones is the only one I recommend. If you are new to Cayman, the team will really help make the transition to 'island life' as smooth and simple as possible.
The team at Stepping Stones are great to work with, they are professional, friendly and very knowledgeable of the employment market here in Cayman. Stepping Stones helped me get a permanent position from my very first assignment. From the initial induction, to setting up the interview the put me at ease and ensured that I was making the best decision for my career. They were with me every step of the way, late night phone calls and early morning e-mails. I truly appreciate everything they did for me and would recommend Stepping Stones to anyone who is thinking of joining them, they are the best recruitment agency on island. For people new to the island they offer great advice and after work socials that enables you to connect with others on the island in the same situation.
Catriona Lane - Legal SecretaryMy experience with SteppingStones has been fantastic. SteppingStones have proven to be an extremely helpful, knowledgeable and highly professional recruitment agency. The team works incredibly hard in placing their staff in assignments that are genuinely suited to their skill-set. SteppingStones sets itself apart by their friendliness, enthusiasm and proactive approach. I would have no hesitation in recommending SteppingStones and would like to thank Ciara, Lindsey, Pam, Milly and Theresa for helping me achieve a permanent position.
Sarah Bourke-Legal SecretaryI want to thank you and everyone at SteppingStones for all of the hard work and support you have provided in the last few months. I look forward to maintaining our relationship, and will certainly refer anyone to you who may be seeking employment.
Curtis Wilson- Client Serving AssociateThanks for everything you did during my contract. I really enjoyed working for you. You were helpful and supportive when I needed it and didn’t stop looking for that dream position. I wish you all the best for the future and hope you keep in touch.
Andrew Rowlings- AccountantWhen I first started with SteppingStones, I was immediately struck by their level of service and efficiency, two qualities which most hold in high regard for any service professional. In the office, there is always an atmosphere of readiness, purpose and enjoyment. It was clear that all staff thoroughly enjoy their chosen profession, which means candidates are immediately assured in what can be a nervous situation. What really put them over the top for me was the approval of my work permit within 24 hours and I started work a couple days later. They are very responsive and not once have they been late with anything.
Thank you for securing me a permanent position and enriching my experience in Cayman
Francina Russell - AccountantHaving relocated to Cayman to be with my husband, joining Steppingstones was the best decision I could have made. The whole team helped me to settle into island life and within a week found me an temporary role within an excellent company. I would particularly like to thank Ciara for her constant dedication and commitment which has lead to my current permanent position. I would encourage anybody thinking of relocating to Cayman to contact the Steppingstones team.
Julie Proud-Audit SecretaryI would encourage any potential newcomer to seek SteppingStones as their first point of contact. From their open and friendly communication to their commitment to finding a placement, SteppingStones is second to none. Lindsey continually took time out of her days or evenings to answer my questions and make me feel comfortable with the island and it's idiosyncracies, making extra efforts to ensure all of the anxiety I was experiencing was perfectly normal, and offered many times to connect me with other temps. Pam is equally as prompt at addressing any concerns that you have. Really the entire team is outstanding. I continue to promote SteppingStones to my peers as they were integral with my transition.
Kirstin Eklund - Property ManagerAfter spending several months looking for employment on my own, I had become so disheartened by the lack of results. But only 48 hours after my first meeting with Ciara, she had me lined up for an interview that eventually turned into a permanent offer. I don't know of another agency that produces such impressive results with an equally remarkable turnaround time.
Lindsey took customer service to a level I have rarely encountered in Cayman. She made sure I received regular updates and always made herself available to talk through any concerns I had. I left all of our conversations feeling so much more at ease, because it was obvious that I had a true ally in my job search. Her optimism and patience as I weighed my decisions are forever appreciated.
Annika Martins, Business Development OfficerThank you for your kind words and consideration. I am sad to leave Steppingstones as a happy employee but wish to keep in touch time and again as you have been an integral part of my journey. This experience will always be remembered and I will forever speak highly of Steppingstones and how awesome and blessed I am for having the opportunity to work with such amazing women.
Jennifer Johnson - Purchasing AssistantThank you to SteppingStones for giving me excellent professional service during my job search. You not only took the time to thoroughly read through my resume but also to listen to my career goals. The first job I interviewed for, led to a permanent position, “a perfect fit”, with a company I am enjoying working for. This is also due to your timely responses to both my employer and myself, which needless to say we appreciate. Keep up the good work!
Sharon Williams- Vice PresidentI just want to say a huge thank you to you all for your continued hard work and efforts in helping Krystal and I find great jobs and live the dream! I think your continued dedication and professionalism clearly show you are leading the way for recruiters on island! Once again thanks,
Arlo Robinson-Assistant Relationship ManagerI want to thank you so much for everything. Firstly, for the delicious chocolates I received from SteppingStones today. They are so cute and just what I need for an afternoon treat. I also want to thank each of you for giving me the opportunity to work and live in Cayman. You all have been so kind and helpful throughout the whole process and I always enjoyed going to the social's & events. Everyone has been professional and I would gladly refer and have referred people to SteppingStones.
I am very excited to now be permanent with Marsh and have many things to look forward to. Even though I won't be popping in your office to receive mail, I hope to see you around.
Beth Hall, ReceptionistI had a great experience working with SteppingStones. The staff was helpful, thoughtful and went the extra mile to ensure that I was placed permanently in a position that fit my skill set and career goals. I would recommend this temping agency to anyone. They have the resources, knowledge and flexibility to help you find what you're looking for
Kelly Fiebig, Financial Accountant, DartFirstly, thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity and pleasure of working with you. I really had a fantastic time and enjoyed my six months immensely. You three are just so kind, welcoming and just lovely. You are true stars!
SteppingStones is a wonderful place to work, where time and dedication is equally allotted to each member of the team. One can work happily, knowing that if any problems should arise the 3 lovelies in the office will always make the time for you. Thank you for believing in me.
Chiara CaseyThe team at Stepping Stones were great to work with – they gave me the opportunity to live and work on this beautiful island, and I will always be grateful. Right from my first interview with Lindsey, I felt that I was dealing with a fab organization, and my trust in them was instant. Their open-door policy always made me feel welcome and comfortable, no matter what crazy question or ramblings I came to them with. Their enthusiasm and positivity gave me confidence in them and myself, and I’ve ended up in an amazing position; without Lindsey and the team, I would never have had such an opportunity. I definitely recommend Stepping Stones to anyone who’s looking for work on the island!
Lauren Leupen, Claims Manager, Island HeritageI haven't always had a great experience with recruitment agencies but my experience with Stepping Stones was nothing but positive. Ciara was successful in landing me a number of interviews and eventually a position I was looking for. What makes Stepping Stones so great though is that its not just about landing the job, Ciara was always available to answer questions and give advice on making the move to Cayman, which can be a bit daunting if it is your first time making such a move. I would recommend their services to anyone thinking of taking that leap.
Emma MacCormack, Audit Senior, PWCMoving jobs let alone relocating your life to another continent can be an incredibly stressful time. SteppingStones eased all my worries away. From the outset they were welcoming, friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. Being a Librarian I was unsure whether this type of work would be available and I had no idea how to go about finding it. Although not their area of expertise, SteppingStones were more than happy to help and made enquiries and sought information on my behalf and a few months later here I was! They were my link on the island whilst I was back in the UK packing up my life for the move, and their support doesn't end once you arrive. I can honestly say without SteppingStones I doubt I’d be on island today.
Clare Monk-Librarian, Maples & CalderIt is with both a mixture of sadness and excitement to be leaving the comfort of SteppingStones to start my permanent position. You are definitely the best agency on the island hands down! :)))) Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you both and for all your support and hard work. I can't believe how lucky I am to have had my time with you.
Shiona Gale-Legal Secretary, Maples & CalderThe team at SteppingStones was a wonderful support to me as I sought a change in career. With their network of contacts and a thorough understanding of their clients needs they very quickly found me exactly the type of position I was seeking. Their help and support through the immigration process made all of the difference – I knew I had their experience and resources to draw on. Thank you SteppingStones!
Leanne Golding, CFA- Vice President Funds, Rawlinson & HunterI wanted to thank you both because without you this wouldn't have been possible. Thanks for placing me here and for your constant guidance and support. I'm always telling everyone about SteppingStones. The sister of a good friend of ours is coming from England at the beginning of next month (I think) and she's already signed up with you. And our neighbor is with you now ... so, I'm always spreading the word about how great you guys are!! Thanks a lot; I'll definitely keep in contact with you both.
Jacqueline Barnes-Executive Secretary, Maples & CalderI just want to say a huge thanks. SteppingStones have been the best agency I have ever been with. You guys have been absolutely fantastic to me.
Tameeka Wells- Legal Secretary, Maples & CalderI told my friend that you guys were great and that you did a great job for me (and that you were so wonderful). I actually tell everyone who is looking to contact you guys - like I said I was really impressed with how quickly you got back to me not to mention finding me something. You and Milly are amazing!
Kerri McQuarrie, Corporate Administrator, Ogier Fiduciary ServicesThank you so much. I very much appreciate all of your assistance during my temping period and I am glad that I made the right decision to come to Cayman Islands through Stepping Stones. It has been a very pleasant experience working with you all.
Eden Jordan-Trust Administrator, Rawlinson & HunterFor those of you who are thinking about joining SteppingStones but are nervous about leaving everything behind and launching into the unknown, dont be. The second you arrive in Cayman and meet the SteppingStones team you know you are in safe hands.
It is a giant leap of faith but one that will be more than repaid. The enthusiasm, care and attention shown by the staff is backed up by the support and the results they bring. I cannot speak highly enough of SteppingStones and how much they have looked after me in Cayman. Thanks to their efforts to find me the best possible position, I am now working for the Football Association and having the time of my life. SteppingStones gave me the confidence, contacts and the launch pad to land what is a dream job in a dream place. THANK YOU!!
Alastair Kay-FIFA Goal Project Coordinator, Cayman Islands Football AssociationThank-you so much for all your assistance and professionalism in handling the employment process to this stage, you really were fantastic. We are looking forward to spending a good few years in Cayman and certainly the opportunity to work at Coutts is amazing.
Sue Holmes-Private Banker, CouttsThank you again…I seem to be saying this a lot to you guys recently! I celebrated last night with the bottle of champers….cheers I’m really happy it’s all sorted and thank you so much for all the help and support over the last year, it’s really appreciated, I will be recommending SS to everyone I meet.
Sharon Pegg-Accountant, Saxon AdministrationYou guys are awesome! Linval and I yesterday spoke of how much better you are compared to the other agencies with the socials, cell phones are all you do. Keep doing what you are doing. You're a super great agency! Thumbs up.
Karlene Carby-Dixon Client Service Associate, Ernst & YoungI wanted to thank you again for the social the other night, and more importantly, my award for Temp of the Month. It was so nice of you to do and I feel very thankful that I have such extreme support from you. You put so much consideration and care into everything you do, and that reflects in the quality of people you bring on. You are all so helpful and kind, and I hope that it never goes unappreciated.
Kate Flinton-Corporate Officer, RBC Wealth ManagementSteppingStones was recommended to me by three girls who had friends temping with them, and they were very happy. I signed on and ended up with full time employment at a job which I absolutely love and didn’t think I would normally qualify for. Every one of their staff is so friendly, helpful and very welcoming, especially to new people on Island who are just starting out. They have get-togethers so you can meet people in the same situation you’re in and answer any questions you have about the island or getting settled in. I would absolutely recommend SteppingStones 100% as my experience was nothing but positive and there was no pressure what so ever!
Michelle Zorzenone-Global Accounts Administrator, Ernst & YoungA million thank yous for the gift, it was so thoughtful. You've all been such stars, always going beyond. I will proudly refer SteppingStones to anyone and everyone who wants to start a new life on this island. I will miss you all so very much.
Sophie Tremblay-Executive Assistant, Ogier Fiduciary Services (Cayman) LimitedSo this is it, my last day as a SteppingStones employee! I wanted to thank you and the rest of the SteppingStones gang for all of your help. I never would have come to Cayman if it were'nt for you and now I am here, permanently employed and loving it! I think I've got a great opportunity with Maples and it is all because of SteppingStones. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Jamie Ling-Legal Secretary, Maples & CalderI am hoping that you know this already but I just wanted to say how grateful I am and thanks again for everything that you and Ciara have done for me since I have been on the island and before in fact. I am so fortunate to have been introduced to Simon Watson and being directed by him towards SteppingStones, god only knows what might have happened otherwise!!
It's been great getting to know you both on a personal level and I look forward to many a girl's night out long after my professional relationship with SteppingStones has ceased.
Christina Caffyn-Corporate Assistant, Maples & CalderI would like to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to the SteppingStones team for giving me this great opportunity to be a part of your family and also for allowing me this chance to work in the Cayman Islands. My six months experience with you has been a great one. Thanks for all the support you offered during the hurricane season which was my first experience. Thank you for always being there for me and for your assistance in giving me a great start in making Cayman my new home. Special thanks to Lindsey for all of her efforts and time spent in getting me to the Cayman Islands and for securing me a job interview from the time I first arrived here. Thanks for the lovely flowers and encouragement. That was the sweetest thing ever. I felt so special yesterday. I will be in touch and you will always be in my heart
