It IS only for officers. I am over here and gotten a couple of ENG hired.

23

Wonder if they gave the guys the bonus to sign on if they stayed on the boats that were bought out?

24

I talked to a friend of mine that worked at GOL and was on one of the vessels purchased. They good a sign on bonus when it happened.

25

Dang auto correct. Got a sign on bonus

[QUOTE=“Doodlebug;115151”]Spoke with Harvey on the phone on Friday. They seem to only want people that are working presently with other supplyboat companies. That was the feeling I got. The person on the phone basically was saying “work for someone else for a time then give us a call”.[/QUOTE]

Does anyone else agree with this? I currently sail as 2nd Engineer on a tanker and im looking to get back into the OSV industry because of where the pay is now.
Also, does anyone think that because I have been sailing Union will that hamper my efforts of getting hired by an OSV company? Should I just come right out and address it in the interview?

27

Don’t think it’s an issue unless you make it one. My 2 cents.

I heard Harvey was offering Chouest Officers a $10,000 sign on bonus to convert to Harvey, any truth to that?

Any company will pay if u have what they need one way or another. HGIM is not the only company giving hiring bonuses.

heard deck hands, and officers have been leaving chouest for harvey left and right. When we asked our boss he said they were thinking about giving them a raise, but then they looked at the stack of applications on their desk for chouest, and said it wasn’t happening anytime soon. So i guess harvey will have most of chouest’s works in the next few months. Just a matter of time

Sometimes companies dont understand that they will spend more time and quality services training a whole bunch of new guys at the same time than giving a raise.

But for them to loose their contracts to another companie just because of this is a lot more difficult that just loosing personnel.
