Personnel Managers

Seapeople is one of very few Cruise Ship Recruitment Agencies in Australia and is well placed to assist in finding and selecting the large number of well trained, well presented, English speaking staff in both Australia and New Zealand, who are available to serve onboard your ships in a range of positions. SeaPeople specialise in sourcing and placing staff in the hospitality, passenger activities and entertainment areas on board, as well as the support functions that include security, youth and childcare, medical and retail.

The recent Olympic Games in Sydney and the America’s Cup in Auckland saw the opening up of many new restaurants, hotels and other hospitality associated businesses, which have attracted young, enthusiastic service staff that are keen to work in the cruise industry.

Every applicant short-listed for employment will have references checked and we undertake to select the best possible candidate for an available position. Copies of documentation will be held on file.

We can arrange travel and medicals, assist with visas and will organise basic induction, if required.

We are happy to discuss any particular requirements clients may have, and although our rates are amongst the most competitive in the industry, we are prepared to negotiate reductions for volume of staff employed or long term partnerships. Typically our one-off fee per introduction is payable within 15 days of employment and we will refund a portion of any introduction fees or supply a replacement staff member should an appointee be deemed unsuitable within this time.

Applicants

The cruise industry is the most exciting and fastest growing sector of the Tourism Industry at the moment. This dynamic growth has created a wealth of job opportunities for suitably qualified and experienced personnel working on what is essentially a floating hotel.

Although the work is challenging and the hours can be long there are many benefits:

1. Good pay with the opportunity to save money, as meals and accommodation are provided.

2. Travel to exotic destinations with the opportunity to spend time off sightseeing.

3. Be part of a multi-national team - meet some great friends, have fun.

4. Have extended periods of holiday - generally after 4 to 6 months of service.

5. Air travel, uniforms and medical coverage are normally provided after a suitable qualifying time or completion of contract. It varies from company to company.

Of course, the cruise ship is providing a holiday for the passengers so there are some restrictions to what you can do on board depending on your status but if the sea-life suits you there are wonderful career opportunities for advancement to senior management on board.
