Global Maritime Recruitment and Talent Search
Finding the right maritime talent takes industry knowledge, a focused search and a recruitment partner who understands your business.

Most of our clients work with us on an exclusive and/or retained basis, reflecting the trust and long-term relationships we have built. We take a personal, consultative approach to every assignment, with honest advice, clear communication and your hiring priorities at the centre of the process.

Maritime Sectors We Serve
Our experience covers a range of maritime businesses, with a particular focus on shore-based commercial, technical and management positions.
Shipping - Commercial and Technical
We support recruitment for ship owners, ship management companies and operators, helping businesses find people with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
Marine
Our work extends to marine consultancies, classification societies, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), product suppliers, marine software providers and P&I insurance organisations.
Fixed-Term Projects
We also support recruitment connected with new build projects, salvage, retrofit programmes and other fixed-term maritime requirements.
By understanding the different demands of these sectors, we can tailor our search to the position rather than applying the same recruitment approach to every assignment.
International Maritime Recruitment
Maritime recruitment is an international business, and finding suitable candidates often means looking beyond a single location.
SeaMarque supports recruitment requirements across the UK and international maritime markets, including Dubai, Singapore and Denmark. Our geographic focus also encompasses the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong and Thailand.
We consider the location of each appointment alongside the skills, experience and background required, taking a targeted approach to identifying relevant candidates.
Why Work With SeaMarque?
Our approach is guided by five values that shape how we work with clients and candidates:
- Caring: We care about your business, your recruitment needs and your success.
- Creative: We look for practical solutions to individual hiring challenges.
- Consultative: We work alongside you as a recruitment partner and adviser.
- Candid: We believe in honest, transparent communication.
- Cohesive: We work together to keep recruitment focused on the right outcome.
These principles underpin the relationships we build and the way we approach every search.
A Recruitment Partnership Built on Trust
We believe effective maritime recruitment starts with understanding your business, not simply reviewing a job description.
Our maritime recruitment specialists work closely with you to establish the requirements of each appointment before identifying suitable candidates. We proactively search for relevant talent, including individuals who may be difficult to reach through conventional recruitment methods.
Our approach includes pre-screening, competency-based interviews and reference checks, helping you make informed hiring decisions. We also support candidates throughout the recruitment process and as they prepare to start their new roles.
This commitment to working alongside our clients is central to our approach to maritime talent acquisition. We aim to be a trusted recruitment partner and adviser, not simply a supplier of CVs.
