Quality over quantity

How does Quay Group source the best quality staff for private residences, yachting and maritime?

Firstly, we know that it’s not one size fits all. Our team of consultants that support Quay Crew (super yacht recruitment) are all former crew members themselves. Our team of consultants that support Quay Estates (private residence and family office recruitment) and Quay Maritime (land-based maritime) have a combination of luxury sector experience, yachting experience and successful corporate backgrounds.

But we take full advantage of our unparalleled candidate network – gained through our combined experience in yachting and luxury sectors. We utilise our specialist experience to understand client needs and leverage candidate relationships across all levels.

Prioritising quality over quantity also means we follow a stringent due diligence, pre-screening and verbal referencing process to ensure that any prospective hires we put forward have the desired skills and aspirations that specifically align with your individual goals.

Our consultative approach means we are able to help both candidates and clients set realistic expectations, working in the best interests of everyone involved, which maximises performance and longevity. Ultimately significantly reducing the risk and cost of making a bad hire – by making sure every hire is the right match.

This approach has led to us forming strong and recurring relationships with everyone we deal with. We are the first port of call for private residence and land-based recruitment solutions in the wider marine sector, as well as the yachting industry. No matter your need, someone in our team will be perfectly poised and dedicated to fill your role, from Technical Managers to Head of BD, Estate Managers to Housekeepers, Chief of Staffs to EAs, Captains to Stews.

Our Mission:

To attract and retain the best talent in the yachting sector whilst following best practice recruitment methods and continuously improving standards through education, research, market insights and constant communication.
