Maritime recruitment trends and strategies for success - Splash247

With a generation that is perpetually “always on,” it’s imperative to understand how they consume information. Capturing their attention has become the new currency in recruitment strategies. It’s not merely a matter of shorter attention spans but rather the proliferation of mediums competing for their focus. To successfully engage this audience, employers must strategically deploy content across various channels to effectively connect with and resonate with digitally immersed individuals.

Another major Ship Manager and recruiter for the international shipping market weight in on the subject:

Wallem Casts Wider Talent Net For Shipping's Next Generation

For Wallem, it is about looking beyond its Hong Kong base and considering the Greater Bay Area, which has a population of 86 million people and a GDP of US$2 trillion.
But beyond even that Asia is a huge talent pool that the ship management industry can collectively utilise in attracting talent and management to play a pivotal role in propelling the maritime sector into the next era.

Attention is also needed to ensure traditional roles like engineers and navigators remain appealing, he added. Upskilling seafarers is a huge challenge, given the rapid technological advances shipping is undergoing, and the pace of progress is not adequate – partly because the industry lacks a unified approach and the right regulatory framework.

“Wallem has in house training centres offering courses to seafarers with a focus on emerging technologies and new regulations as well as important soft and leadership skills required to manage the ships and crews of the future,” said Shao.
