The Challenge
Before implementing the Jamaica Education Job Board, the Ministry faced critical recruitment challenges:
- No centralized online platform for schools and teachers to manage hiring
- A manual, paper-based teacher recruitment process slowed down placements
- Teachers lacked visibility into available opportunities
- No standardized system for verifying teacher qualifications or skills
- Limited communication tools such as job alerts or tracking systems
The Ministry needed a custom solution that would digitize the entire hiring process — built specifically for Jamaica’s public education ecosystem.

As the Ministry of Education and Youth in Jamaica, we wanted a job portal that would make it easier for teachers and educational institutions to connect. Perception System delivered exactly what we needed. The job portal they developed is easy to use, efficient, and tailored perfectly to our needs.
Their team was attentive, professional, and committed to ensuring the portal met all our expectations. Thanks to their hard work, we now have a valuable tool that helps streamline the hiring process and supports our educational community.
