"In its more than 30-year existence, Oceanwide has built a name for itself in the maritime sector and we want to continue to play an important role in the provision of maritime specialists, both for flexible staffing solutions and permanent contracts."
International Distance Matching concept
Our clients are increasingly looking for highly qualified staff. For a long time we have been aware that local labor markets are no longer able to foresee in the demand for talent.
Oceanwide is active in 22 countries on four continents. Thanks to our own network of branches and agents, we are now more than ever able to meet the demands of our clients both quickly and well.
We must, however, constantly be on the lookout for new sourcing channels to be able to react to changing market conditions (new markets, running out of available staff, nationalities becoming too expensive, etc.)
New needs, new solutions
Changing market conditions go hand in hand with changing client needs. Oceanwide offers its clients original HR solutions, such as our Full Crew Management concept, our Total Platform Services concept and our Catering offers for offshore oil & gas platforms.
In its more than 30-year existence, Oceanwide has built a name for itself in the maritime sector and we want to continue to play an important role in the provision of maritime specialists, both for flexible staffing solutions and permanent contracts.
From matching to proactive proposals
Oceanwide's role in the maritime labor market is changing. We no longer restrict ourselves to reacting to client demand, but propose qualified candidates on an increasingly proactive basis. We are viewed more and more as a recruitment channel and that means we have to be able to anticipate the needs of our clients.
It all starts by training the students and cadets who will be tomorrow's high-flyers in our market. To do so we team up with maritime schools in the various countries in which we operate.
Quality solutions and social responsibility
Oceanwide wants to provide clients with the guarantee that applicable legislation and regulations are respected, as well as the social interests of the people we second.
Our DNV quality certificate sees to it that we constantly optimize our processes and procedures. In addition, our social charter - which is signed by all our employees - provides a guarantee to clients that our people are treated well.
