MarineTalent was founded in 2008 and is specialized in the marine recruitment and human resources side of shipboard operations. Our main focus is retention of personnel and creating a work environment where people can thrive. Our philosophy is that it does not always cost you a high wage to attract and retain your best personnel on the fleet. We have proven that this approach works through offering career path outlines, benefits and enjoyment in the workplace. Consequently this increases the productivity as well as the safety of the operation. Total HR Solutions are a true win-win scenario for your company as well as the seafarer. Marinetalent is aware that 2009 is the year where the crewing crisis was on a short pause, but various sources, as well as our own research, indicates that the shortage of qualified and competent crew will increase again in the upcoming years. In addition many officers will retire in the upcoming five to ten years, competency levels are a concern of many ship owners as well as regulators. You see the new ILO convention coming in effect as well as the STCW revision. We will work together with you to attract and retain personnel with the needed qualifications and establish programs to increase their knowledge and experience. I would like to offer to post your job openings for free on our website; in addition our team will source candidates for you to review. This is on a no cure no pay basis - so you have nothing to lose.
