At SALT Superyachts, we recognise that finding the perfect team player to fit your yacht crew and program can be time-consuming, costly, and add administrative burdens to senior managers and captains who are already busy with other responsibilities.
To ensure quality and avoid competition among agencies, we exclusively engage The Crew Hunter, our trusted partner agency, for crew member selection. Additionally, we extend our reach by visiting crew houses and crew portals, to find the right crew members specifically for you.
Our 360 ° approach offers you the ultimate head-hunting experience backed up by a raft of new profiling support services from our partners including administration, training, appraisals, repatriation, payroll, disciplinary procedures and more.
Head Hunting
At SALT Superyachts, our primary focus is to find the perfect candidate who aligns with your yacht's requirements and fits well within the crew dynamics.
What sets our partnership with The Crew Hunter apart from other yacht recruitment companies is our aligned dedication to prioritizing the ultimate outcome rather than rushing through the process.
SALT Superyachts & The Crew Hunter firmly believe in investing the time and effort to achieve outstanding, meticulously customised results to meet our client's individual requirements.
Our commitment to excellence ensures that the crew members we source are perfectly suited to your yacht and contribute to a harmonious onboard environment.
Job Position Profiling
While skills and experience are undoubtedly significant, we understand that the alignment of the personality and the ability to fit seamlessly into your yacht's culture should not be underestimated.
We offer a thorough crew profiling service which goes beyond assessing skills and experience. Our comprehensive analysis will provide you with detailed insights into the personality traits of the ideal candidate for a specific role onboard your yacht.
By incorporating psychometric profiling, you will have objective comparisons among candidates. Being more information about how a candidate's profile aligns with the desired character traits will give you the confidence that you are selecting the best individual for the job.
Background Security Checks
Our partnership with The Crew Hunter, who are a fully compliant UK registered recruitment company, enables us to offer comprehensive legal background checks for candidates hailing from the UK, EU, and US.
These extensive background checks cover crucial elements such as criminal records (CBRD), credit history, employment history, work authorization, education history (including schools and universities), social media profiles, driving records, and, within specified limitations, medical records.
By leveraging our robust background check process, we diligently ensure that the candidates we present to you surpass the highest benchmarks of integrity, dependability, and suitability for the positions onboard your yacht.
Core Competency Interviews
Competency interviews are founded on the principle that past behavior serves as an indicator of future behavior. These interviews prove highly valuable as they require candidates to provide specific instances demonstrating their behaviors, which can then be assessed against the skills, competencies, and characteristics essential for success in a role onboard your yacht.
When considering competencies for a particular role, there exists a broad range of relevant factors, including:
Individual Competencies
Managerial Competencies
Analytical Competencies
Interpersonal Competencies
Motivational Competencies
At SALT Superyachts, we recognize the importance of assessing these competencies during the interview process to ensure the selection of candidates who possess the necessary attributes for success onboard your yacht.
HR Administration
Specialist Crew Management and HR Administration are integral when acquiring and retaining top talent. With a focus on talent acquisition, employee engagement, and compliance, we ensure the smooth functioning of crew-related processes.
Delivering a timely and accurate payroll service with benefits administration to include health insurance, visas, repatriation, NDAs, annual appraisals, evaluations, and disciplinary procedures.
HR management focuses on fostering a positive work environment and crew engagement - facilitating communication channels, managing conflicts, and providing support for crew members' personal and professional needs.
