In the old days, recruitment was managed by phone or “snail mail”. Paper-based CV’s were the “norm”. This was before the advent of the internet, in this article we briefly explore three main areas where technology and the internet have transformed recruitment in the superyacht sector.
The recruitment sector has been revolutionised by changes in technology
1) Email and databases
By around 1995, email was beginning to become widely popular. The recruitment industry embraced email by transferring CV’s and other information from candidates to recruiters via email. In using this method of recruitment, the speed of the process could be dramatically improved.
Upon receipt of CV’s, Agencies like ours, will add the CV to a searchable database. This means we can flag any opportunities to suitable candidates as they arise. The matching of roles to candidates is made so much easier by a database rather than searching paper-based CV’s. Why not send us your CV by email today, see our contact form for details.
2) Recruitment websites
Websites like ours were made possible through internet technology, which has revolutionised the recruitment industries approach. Through recruitment websites like ours you can register your details and search through typically hundreds/thousands of vacancies at any one time. This dramatically aids the recruitment process and means candidates can search through all the opportunities on a website and find tailored roles suited to their skills.
