What do you find most rewarding about working in yacht crew recruitment?

“My favourite part of recruitment is the relationship I get to develop with candidates. I love assisting chefs in securing their first yachting job. I have known many of the chefs since they started in the industry and it’s wonderful to watch their career develop to the point where they are now the client and I am helping them look for crew. The diversity and fast pace of the job means there is never a dull moment.”
