This unique ability enables us to quickly and accurately recommend a shortlist of highly qualified candidates when initiating a search.

In the competitive shipping industry, where senior executive candidates are often passive, not applying for advertised jobs, and not posting their CVs online, having the right connections is crucial. Our deep industry relationships allow us to know exactly who to call, ensuring we can identify the ideal candidate swiftly and confidentially.

Our extensive industry knowledge means we speak to fewer people to find the right executive, enhancing confidentiality and precision in the search process. Often, we can identify the successful candidate at the outset of the search, a key advantage when confidentiality and timing are critical.

Our Approach to Shipping 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 Shipping Executive Search.

Diversity and Inclusion in Shipping Executive Search

We strive to provide the best candidates for each Shipping Executive Search we undertake. Our methodology ensures all candidates are treated fairly, irrespective of their gender, age, ethnicity, background or beliefs.
