YPI Crew

YPI Crew’s team of recruitment consultants pride themselves in understanding the specific needs of both their clients and their candidates. Whilst enjoying all the benefits of a bespoke state-of-the-art database, the team profits from the results of nurturing a very personal and unique one-on-one approach.

Candidates are always interviewed face-to-face whenever possible, their experience and goals discussed, references and certificates checked and a plan of action formulated.

“It is only by knowing and understanding candidates that the right match can be found,” explains Laurence, “and in times when no-one wants to throw money away, that is the real value of having YPI Crew as your partner in recruitment.”

Today YPI Crew is recruiting more than ever for the world’s largest and most important vessels currently under construction.

“As a Captain, there are a lot of choices for crew placement agencies.  I think most agree that the most significant factor in hiring is the time investment to properly select good crew.  Some crew agencies respond to job orders with a barrage of candidates who may not all even fit specified qualifications and leaving you with the time consuming initial vetting process.  YPI Crew actually invests the time necessary to perform a vast amount of the initial vetting process with thorough reference checks, informative presentation of candidates from their process, and matching the candidates with the program on many levels.  YPI’s process never leaves you wondering why you have paid the placement fee”
