Services to support yacht recruitment

We support the yacht recruitment process by checking references, confirming professional certifications, and verifying IDs. We also work with candidates and employers to provide ongoing support and guidance.

We are not a yacht recruitment agency, therefore we do not interview our candidates to discuss their personality and potential fit with the existing team on board a yacht, nor their suitability for a specific role within your program.

The following items are not part of our services. However, we strongly advise you to discuss them in the crew candidate’s interview:

  • Salary and package expectations
  • Availability
  • Relationship status
  • Tattoo or body piercings
  • Smoking habits
  • Drinking habits
  • Background checks (we can arrange this through one of our trusted partners)
  • Languages spoken
  • Religious or political views
  • Uniform sizes
  • Prior commitments during the term of employment
  • If the candidate suffers from sea sickness (this may be uncovered during our reference check processes)
  • If the candidate is willing to take a drug test (we can arrange this through one of our trusted partners)
  • If the candidate possesses a valid driving licence

Any information discovered in the interview stage is entirely the responsibility of the employer and the yacht crew candidate.

Our overall mission is to confirm the seafarer’s abilities by cross-checking their own sentiments to those of previous employers using our Gold Standard criteria. We will confirm (where possible) that the seafarers’ Certification and National ID documents are authentic and valid.

Further, we support both the employer and the candidate to progress and develop professionally, and secure future roles in the yacht industry.
