The Faststream Recruitment Group was established in 1999, employs over 100 people and is a global people specialist in Maritime, Shipping and Energy recruitment.

Simply put, we know the people and the people know us.
We know the people you want to hire
We are constantly mapping the who’s who in our marketplace for Maritime Executive Search. Our reputation as a business and as individuals enables us to reach people that others cannot, because of the relationships we have built up over decades of networking and recruitment. When we start a search, we can quickly and accurately recommend a shortlist of candidates.
In a marketplace where senior executive candidates are passive and are not applying for advertised jobs, not posting their CVs on job boards and not talking to most recruiters, knowing who to call and having existing relationships is critical. This is what we do.
Our knowledge means that we need to talk to fewer people to find the right candidate and in our experience, the fewer people spoken to means greater confidentiality.
We will often recommend the successful candidate at the start of the search, and this can be crucial where confidentiality and timing are key.
Our Maritime Executive Search experience
Significant sector specialist recruitment experience and credibility are critical when delivering an Executive Search and a few grey hairs are no bad thing. Consequently, at Faststream our most senior team, including board directors manage our search work.

Our Approach to Maritime Executive Search
Our approach is results-focused and whilst our search process is well established, we don’t sell unnecessary ‘bells and whistles’. Executive coaching, consultancy and telling you how to run your business is not what we do.
We use tried and tested execution skills that are governed by four principles: Understanding, Accuracy, Specialism, and Dialogue.
Our philosophy is based on understanding and responding quickly and effectively to our customers’ confidential and strategic needs. We believe that a partnership approach is the key to a successful executive search and selection relationship.
We can accurately identify the right candidates in your search which is delivered by our extensive knowledge of the market and the candidates available.
We only complete Executive Search work for three key sectors; Maritime, Shipping and Energy. We have built up decades of knowledge in these sectors and we know what it is to be a true specialist in a generalist executive search marketplace.
Dialogue is everything to us – we keep our customers up to date at every stage of our search process to ensure we are building relationships that are successful and long-lasting.
We source hard-to-find senior executives and pride ourselves on a refreshingly straight forward approach to Executive Search.
Diversity and Inclusion in Maritime Executive Search
We strive to provide the best candidates for each Maritime Executive Search we undertake. Our methodology ensures all candidates are treated fairly, irrespective of their gender, age, ethnicity, background or beliefs.
Compensation Intelligence, Salary surveys and benchmarking
Many of our partners have benefitted from utilising our services to create salary surveys and benchmarking reports before the commencement of executive searches. These determine whether your compensation structures are aligned with industry and competitor salaries and benefits or can establish new salary scales and benefits packages.
Executive Maritime Vacancies
Due to our commitment to client confidentiality, you won't see us advertise our current executive assignments.
