The marine industry is unlike most businesses. There are certain expectations you have as an employer and a standard of service you need to provide to your end users. That means it’s critical that you hire marine industry professionals who understand the industry and can hit the ground running. A staffing service that specializes in shipyard placements can be your best partner in this process. If you’re looking at your hiring process, consider contacting a marine staffing firm today. Here are 3 reasons to think about.
1. Networking, relationships, and talent.
A network may be the single most effective resource for finding new talent. But a search through LinkedIn shows that this very specialized industry isn’t always easy to crack. No matter how long you’ve been a part of it, you always need new energy to help your staffing process. A staffing agency specializing in marine or shipyard placements has this network established. They can make the essential connections in your community or around the country as necessary. They become your biggest and best resource for new talent so that professional relationship can be your best asset.
3. Safety training and onboarding.
Safety is your top priority, so you need to work with a staffing partner who feels the same way. Not just feels that way but has systems and procedures in place to make safety training a top priority. A specialized recruiter can provide the orientation your new staff needs to be ready and able to get to work. Their prescreening process helps find vetted employees based on your qualifications. They also offer pre-employment testing so you can feel comfortable that each new employee has skills required for the job. Your staffing partner wants to work with you to create an onboarding experience just for your shipyard.
3. Do what you do best.
More than anything else, working with a specialized marine industry recruiter will allow you to focus on your most important task: running your shipyard. Hiring and training involved a lot of time and effort, and that time and effort can be better spent on other aspects of your business or contracts. Your workers are important, of course, but there are plenty of other moving parts in your shipyard that need your attention. By giving your hiring process over to professionals in the industry, you can have more time to do what you do best and grow your business.
