SYR just got a little bit bigger!

If you would like to receive this update as a monthly email register here.

Q4 is here and with it, our busiest quarter of the year. Fresh from the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show we’re hard at work following up a host of exciting leads from across our existing customer base and as a result of new contacts made during the show. With a choice of vacancies in the brokerage space and with a number of industry innovators in the green space, it’s nice to be working with some brand new customers.

It was interesting to engage with the employment market during MYS, viewing hiring trends from across the Eurozone as well as stateside, sharing more key data and insights to help make key decisions. Check out our show report.

We see an industry with a retained appetite to hire and an increasingly mobile candidate market. More than ever, the importance of both parties understanding market conditions is paramount, as this could make or break a placement.

With our new quarter we also welcome a new face to the SYR fold. Everyone, meet Luke Dunton. Luke joins us as Technical Recruiter and will support us across design and skilled trades here in the UK, along with supporting some of our international customer base.

Luke has spent a number of years working internally for the team at Oyster Yachts before coming to join us, so brings a great understanding of technical recruitment and an already impressive network.

As we look forwards, we’re hard at work preparing for METS in just over a month, along with working on a busy selection of roles across the business that total in excess of 50! No time to relax here!

As always, we’re here to offer advice and practical recruitment support so if you would like to know more about our services, discuss your career or how we can help grow your business, please do get in touch.

TEAM UPDATES

ED | CEO | ed@superyachtrecruiter.com

The world of design and engineering has remained buoyant even with a slowing new build world, with a host of vacancies coming online in the past few weeks across both shipyards and studios at a range of levels. A real appetite for creative designers remains, but with clients being picky!

Elsewhere, we’ve welcomed a pair of exciting roles to an industry innovator, satisfying our appetite to support the rule-breakers out there and ultimately playing a small part in decarbonising the maritime world.

A lead role working for a top tech brand in the maritime sector. London based but with travel, the role is aimed squarely at developing a B2B strategy and pipeline for an incredible new product. Applicants need to be ensconced in the small craft sector with a passion for growth and an appetite to disrupt. An immediate start available.
