| Spinnaker were appointed by a Greek tanker owner to recruit a new COO. The client was unsure whether to insist on Greek candidates or whether their culture would suit overseas candidates. Spinnaker took on the assignment as a retained search and agreed to submit dual shortlists of Greek and overseas candidates. The final shortlist comprised an American Greek, a Brit, two Greeks and a Norwegian. The Norwegian candidate was successfully appointed. |

We used the services of Spinnaker Consulting to source a Technical Manager for our mixed fleet of tankers, container vessels and bulk carriers. At the beginning of the process we produced a timetable which was strictly adhered to. There was excellent communication throughout ensuring that the candidates which were finally shortlisted closely matched our requirements. The interviews were efficiently organized into first interview and second interview days so reducing the time commitment of the management of this company to the minimum possible. We have ended up with a good employee and were completely satisfied with the service given by Spinnaker Consulting. |

General Manager,
Shipping Company, Cyprus |
| Arguably not so successful this one! Following an extensive search for a large shipbroking client, it became clear that other brokers had a negative perception of the company as an employer and we were unable to fill their position. We wrote a report providing them with market feedback, which was presented to the Board. After a consultation period, the company introduced new reward and retention strategies, which have had a positive impact and which we know, from ongoing market research into salaries, have filtered out positively into the marketplace. |

"I cant thank Amy enough for her input into my successful recruitment into the shipbroking industry. Being a 21 year old university leaver with no prior broking experience Amy provided me with the correct mindset for successful applications - giving up to date relevant advice to all my many questions. It quickly became clear by the interviews she put me forward for, some even overseas, that she had a good idea of my requirements. I found Amy easy to talk to and truly would recommend her to anybody wishing to enter the shipping world". |
