Reference Checking
In simple terms, we take on the challenge of verifying a superyacht candidate’s references, whether they have registered with us before or are new to our database of yacht crew.
We contact each and every yacht crew reference with our multilateral approach, using our Gold Standard system that sets us apart from other companies in the superyacht industry. When we receive a yachting CV, we conduct thorough background checks of professional crew via in-depth email and telephone conversations.
We appraise and vet each yacht candidate in the following areas:
For many employers, crew references can be a burden. The process of hiring a new yacht crew member has many challenges, including time constraints imposed by a yacht’s program, the restricted availability or outdated contact details of crew references, and lack of information on a yachting CV. When you outsource superyacht crew references, yacht crew documentation, and crew security checks to us, we relieve your already excessive workload.
By hiring us to check a candidate’s references, you can be assured that each yacht crew member has been thoroughly vetted by our Gold Standard procedures. You will be provided with a recruitment report that outlines the yacht crew candidate’s strengths, weaknesses, attributes, and abilities. With this superyacht reference information, you can determine who is the best candidate that fits your program and existing yacht crew.
For the yacht crew candidate, finding a professional yacht job and navigating the superyacht hiring process can be stressful. It’s important to be in contact with many Crew Agencies and yacht recruitment platforms to promote your yachting CV and make sure all of your referees’ details are current and up to date.
This process will be much smoother if you have checked your superyacht references ahead of time. Create an account with us and have all of your previous references on file in a central hub for superyacht crew documents. This information will be available at the push of a button for your next yacht employer and eliminates any delay for them – setting you apart from any other individuals applying for the job.
We understand that no one is perfect, and not every crew member will match every program and/or yacht team. In some circumstances, crew depart a yacht with negative feedback or references.
Through in-depth conversations with a referee, we work closely alongside our candidates to learn from all superyacht references, ultimately putting them in a better position for future roles.
We support superyacht crew to find the right job fit. We offer a complete picture to future employers who will value a candidate’s strengths and attributes, and work with them in any areas of weakness.
