If you’re looking for a shipyard job and don’t know where to start, could a specialized staffing agency be your answer? There are plenty of advantages when it comes to working with an agency. They can help you find the best fit for your skills and experience. They can place you in a shipyard that is a good match for your personality and preferences. Here are just a few reasons working with a recruiter to help you find your next marine position is a good idea.
Specialized services
A staffing service that specializes in shipyard placement will have the benefit of understanding the specific needs of shipyard employees and employers. You can discuss with them the specifics of your experience and only accept jobs that are the right fit for you. They also work with each individual client which can help in determining the best shipyard environment for your specific skills and interests.
Employment flexibility
Flexible work is a cornerstone of temporary staffing. In some cases, this kind of short-term flexible work is great for times between jobs or to help you find a longer-term job. But in other cases, you can elect to work shorter assignments to have a flexible schedule and better work/life balance. The choice is yours. You can partner with the agency to help you work on a project basis.
Network expansion
No matter what kind of job you want, networking is an essential skill to develop. And while you can certainly work hard on expanding your network through industry events or online, working with an agency automatically gives you access to more people in the marine industry. The job of the recruiter is to forge relationships with shipyards all over, which become your extended network when you’re placed on assignments.
Employer recommendations
One often overlooked benefit of working with a staffing agency is their ability to sell your skills to their clients. When you send a resume off blindly, you may never know whether or not a hiring manager will see it. But a recruiter will submit your resume, share some details with the clients, and encourage them to set up an interview. They become your personal sales representatives selling your skills to their clients.
