Day to day role

No two days are the same in recruitment and you will interact with an incredibly diverse range of people from all walks of life. One day you could be advising the Chief Human Resources Officer at one of the world's largest Maritime companies on how you will help them recruit in a skills short market. The next day, you could be advising a Graduate who is taking their first steps on the career ladder.

Global market

The Maritime, Shipping and Energy sectors are truly global and we recruit for organisations worldwide, often relocating industry professionals between countries. This takes a special sort of person. Our business is performed over the telephone, on video calls and wherever possible face to face. We understand the value of getting to know our clients and candidates and building long term and lasting relationships.

We operate in specialist skill short sectors where competition for talent is fierce and we spend time proactively building talent pools through networking and candidate attraction strategies.

Our consultants

Our best recruitment professionals are as good at talking to people as they are at listening, and quite honestly this is what they spend most of their time doing. Our best people create real conversations. We are in the 'people business' and high emotional intelligence is key to our success. Sometimes you need to promote and sell an opportunity to a candidate on why they should give up a good job. They might be being 'bear-hugged' by their existing employer, you will need to convince them to take your client's job instead.

Sometimes you will need to introduce yourself to a new company who we have never worked with before and explain to them why we should be their recruitment partner. Sometimes you will need to let a candidate down gently and tell them they didn't get the job. All of this requires great people skills.

The people we employ are as diverse as our clients and candidates. Some people join us as Graduates and work their way up, others come from other sectors and change careers. Some of our people come from the Maritime sector or have recruitment experience. We are open-minded, but what we do look for is a passion for people.

50% of our Board Directors have worked their way up from recruitment consultants up to director level within Faststream. Over 85% of our Recruitment Managers and Team Leaders have worked their way up from recruitment consultant to this level.

What better way to close out Q1 than with cocktails, pizza, and rooftop sunshine at HarBAR on 6th, Harbour Hotel – Southampton?

Our UK team came together for an afternoon of well-earned fun — reconnecting, recharging, and soaking up some of that rare British sunshine.

It was the perfect opportunity for new joiners and long-time team members alike to unwind, enjoy the Southampton waterfront views, and raise a glass to a strong start to 2025.

When the sun shows off like it did on Friday, it’s a reminder of just how lucky we are to work in such a great location.

Looking to be part of a team that celebrates success, and values connection & having fun?

Did you attend Europe’s largest on-water commercial marine and workboat exhibition?

Our recruitment consultants had a fantastic time at the SeaWork 2025 event, which we are fortunate to have on our doorstep in Southampton.

We attended conferences, explored innovative exhibitions, and networked with many amazing like-minded professionals. It was a pleasure to catch up with familiar faces and make new connections.

It was a great few days, and we look forward to the next event.

Faststream’s Annual Golf Day – One to Remember...

Last Thursday, colleagues from across Faststream, including GOOSE, came together for our annual Golf Day.

We’re proud to recognise this year’s standout performers:

🏌️‍♂️ Longest Drive: Jon Percy (with Ally Modha just an inch behind)
🎯 Closest to the Pin: Stephen Martin
🏆 Winning Team: Jon Percy, Hayden Smith, and Lee Williams

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us; your team spirit made the day what it was.

We're already looking forward to next year.

We recently had the pleasure of hosting an intimate CHRO Roundtable Lunch at the beautiful Jade Restaurant, Fullerton Hotel Singapore.

Our Director of Singapore, Lorenzo Agatiello, and Director of Talent, Rachel Farndell, welcomed CHROs from leading maritime businesses for a relaxed yet powerful afternoon of fine dining and topical discussion.

The conversations flowed easily, covering some of the most pressing challenges in the industry today:

🔹 AI and business transformation
🔹 Next-generation leadership
🔹 Talent scarcity
🔹 The evolving skills revolution

What made this event special was the openness to share ideas, challenges, and best practices. One attendee said, “I get invited to many HR events, but to have something so maritime-focused was extremely valuable.”

The feedback was positive, with requests to keep the conversation going via an online forum — a clear sign that this is just the beginning.

Thanks to everyone who joined us. We look forward to hosting again soon.

If you are a maritime HR professional looking for guidance through some of these challenges, visit us at www.faststream.com for additional insights and contact us to discuss further.
