Recruitment Solutions

One of the biggest barriers for any company—especially when hiring for shipping lines or sourcing skilled talent across ports and supply chain roles—is the investment in a Talent Acquisition function or recruitment partner. We make it easy with a range of options to suit businesses of all sizes. With the flexibility of a boutique agency and the scale and reach of a multinational, we offer tailored hiring solutions for logistics, maritime, and port operations across all stages of your business lifecycle.

Bespoke Permanent Recruitment

Fractional Talent Acquisition

Want the benefit of having an in-house recruiter without the burden of payroll and full time employment commitments? We will place one of our experienced consultants onsite for 3, 6 or 12 months either part time or full time ensuring you get the best of both worlds whilst minimising costs and time constraints.

Monthly Fee Instalments

Choose to split any recruitment fee into monthly instalments between 3-6 months, making it easier to manage your budget while still securing top talent. This flexible payment option ensures you can focus on growing your business without the strain of a large upfront cost.
