Working with a staffing service can give you the advantage you need in the marine industry. Why? When you work with an agency with a history of dedication to working with shipyards, you will have decades of experience backing up your business. But how exactly do you leverage the work a staffing agency does to help your company succeed? Here are 5 ways a marine staffing agency can help your shipyard with employment needs.
Access to hidden or passive talent
The marine industry is unlike many other more typical manufacturing industries. There may be fewer candidates to choose from for any given job. But an agency that has worked for years in the marine space will have access to hidden talent and passive talent. Passive candidates are those who work in the industry who may not be actively looking for a job. But they would consider a change for the right circumstances, and recruiters can make that happen.
Extensive networks within the industry
The recruiters also have an expansive network that will only continue to grow. Former employees, former clients, current clients, referrals, and more all make up their pool of candidates. They can tap into this for your shipyard to help you expand or find the right talent.
Understanding of shipyard needs
A staffing firm that specializes in marine placements will also have a unique understanding of your needs. Not every agency will have this experience, but that is why it’s important to consider working with a service that focuses on your industry and your industry only.
Their time, talent, resources, and budget
Beyond their expertise, you also get access to the recruiters’ time and energy, their extensive resources, and their business model. Yes, you will pay a fee for their services, but you also get the full extent of their talent. They will work hard to find the right people for you.
Employee pre-screening and onboarding
And hiring isn’t the only aspect of their job which will benefit your shipyard. Before placing someone on your site, they will conduct the necessary background checks as required and provide an orientation on safety and protocol for each and every employee who will be placed onsite.
