    About Company

    JBA was founded in the late 1970s by a female computer scientist who managed different projects in IT, and saw a market for supporting companies through building a consultancy. Thus, Jacqueline Buickians and Associates (JBA) was formed. Throughout the years, demand set in for recruitment and we expanded our services in this area. We diversified our offerings for different positions, expanding our company focus from technology to fields like accounting, legal, marketing, administrative, and most recently, warehouse support. Today, JBA provides services beyond recruitment, supporting companies with creative services like digital marketing, employer branding, and training. Building from 35 years in business, our complementing services add value to our clients in this evolving global market.
