Exciting News!
I’m so very proud to be able to share that Cara Lees Yacht Crew Ltd has reached the finalist stage in this year’s Acrew Business Awards.
What does this award recognise?
The Best Recruitment Agency Award recognises the recruitment agency which has extensive knowledge of the yachting industry and can offer crew valuable solutions to finding a job best suited to them.
The best recruitment agency provides quality service without disregarding the need for individual contact.
The ability to remain flexible and acknowledge individuals’ needs of crew and job positions they are looking for needs to be met with thorough attention”.
With Cara Lees Yacht Crew, it’s not about hitting targets and sales that matters, but taking the time to engage with candidates, carefully ascertain their preferences and best match them to the job on offer. It’s so important in this very unique industry of ours.
After all, these are people’s lives we are dealing with here, humans, not machines!
Although Cara Lees Yacht Crew may not have placed you in a yacht job position yet, I hope that those of you whom I have had the pleasure to have conversations with over the past 12 months or so, and indeed over the years, be you at entry-level or seasoned yacht crew, I would be absolutely delighted if you would cast a vote for your friendly, long term yachting professional and importantly, a very dedicated yacht crew recruiter!
