  Senior Recruitment Consultant - Technical shipping and maritime roles in EMEA

  We don't just recruit for your roles. We partner with clients to find smart and creative solutions to your hiring needs. Finding the right person for your vacancy can be time-consuming and expensive. You need amazing prospects vetted for the role, not a stack of resumes. With unique backgrounds across the maritime sectors, we know how and where to find the people you need. We're a team of recruiters with over 60 years combined experience in recruitment and 80 years combined experience in the maritime industry. We spend time building relationships with the people you'll need, before you even need them. When Stine Martinussen launched Helm Recruitment in 2020, she developed an industry-disrupting model where finding the best talent - not just those looking for a job right now - would be paramount. No KPIs, no databases of stale CVs, no senseless phone-calls. Instead, we work with clients who are able to match our commitment by signing with us exclusively. Then we spend time seeking out the very best candidates for your role by market-mapping, connecting, coaching and closing. Imagine having a recruitment partner that does all the heavy-lifting, the vetting, the relationship building. That can be relied on to find solutions to the trickiest hires, because they know the industry inside and out. Imagine receiving an impeccable shortlist of candidates that will thrive in the role, every single time. That's what we do. That's our uncommonly human approach to maritime recruitment. Show less
