Frequently asked questions
How long do Cayman job adverts stay open?
A median of 21 days between the posting date and the closing date shown on the advert, across 1,438 WORC adverts seen since 28 Oct 2026.
Why do so many adverts run for 21 days?
For work permit applications filed from 1 May 2026, the Ministry of Caymanian Employment and Immigration says the job must have been advertised for at least 21 days on the WORC Jobs Portal and in a local newspaper or prescribed media.
Does this show how long jobs take to fill?
No. It is the advertised window (posting date to closing date) as stated on each advert. An employer can fill a job before or after the closing date.
Cayman Job Finder is independent and free, is not WORC or any employer, and never takes applications.
