With 25 years in business, our brand organically attracts candidates to apply to our database; word of mouth from our happy clients and candidates is a big part of our talent attraction strategy.

Although we have a database of almost 100,000 candidates, we also source for specialized positions from our social media platforms, LinkedIn head hunting, and P.R. efforts when needed.

We partner with critical schools and training institutions to promote the diverse range of positions we recruit for among their alum students and educate them to prepare for market trends and demands – they can always apply with us in the future!

ONBOARDING

Onboarding is critical in the cruising industry. The faster we can get staff ready to board, the better for our clients.

  • Passport application

  • Translation services

TRAINING

Educating our candidates is very important to our team. We want all applicants to know precisely for what they are signing up!

Every applicant gets a free workshop exposure about “Life and Work at Sea”, explaining all they need to know to decide whether this career is for them!

In addition, we offer a variety of online practical workshops through Cast-A-Way Academy. Our courses are optional, and candidates may choose to take them if they want to enhance their resume and knowledge.

Our team has developed courses specifically to prepare the candidates for SHIP LIFE reality. It is fast-paced, with very little time for on-the-job onboard training. Candidates are expected to be “ready” to deliver a first-class international hospitality experience to the guests once they get onboard.

​All candidates that choose to take our courses receive a Cast-A-Way Academy Certificate. We are proud of our “first-class hospitality academy” that helps our candidates be successful in their career development onboard.

We can also tailor courses to each client’s in-person or online needs.
