Yacht Agency

Crew Location Agencies (Work Agencies)

One of the better how to break into the yachting industry is through the team positioning or recruitment agencies (referred to by many as just “crew agencies”). These companies aren't those who do the particular hiring. Rather, they are the middlemen—the people which fit you up and arrange your task interviews with yachts who are seeking crew. Then they work as a liaison throughout the interviewing and employing procedure.

Ultimately, a yacht’s captain, owner, or workers manager will likely make the choice to hire you. If you're hired as a stew through a company, the agency will charge the boat a share of first month’s wage. (And no, that money is not taken out of the pay you may be to get.) For that reason, it's not the crewmember’s duty to pay for becoming put; companies spend the placement charges once they have actually hired you.

In reality, never ever under any conditions should you have to cover cash to a recruitment company to become put in a team position. Based on the brand new demands regarding the (MLC 2006), it was founded that seafarer recruitment and positioning companies are not permitted to charge crewmembers directly or ultimately, in whole or part, any charges or other prices for recruitment or positioning services and for supplying employment to team users (excluding the price of the staff acquiring a national statutory medical certificate and a passport or other similar individual travel documents). [Ref MLC 2006 A1.4.5b, B2.2.2.4i, B1.4.1.2e] Registering with placement agencies will always be absolve to you. Therefore beware of online scams.
