Search and Selection
Oceanic Resources International is one of the longest established Search (Head-Hunting) and Selection (Advertised) firms and has been at the forefront of Shipping and Forwarding recruitment since 1991.
Our specialist approach to the market enables us to monitor new developments within a variety of sectors and disciplines. We understand the specific needs of our clients; market knowledge is current and continually updated to ensure that our efficiency is undiminished in multi functional recruitment situations.
A high proportion of our assignments come from existing client organisations, a fact which indicates both the quality of the services we provide and the value placed on them by our clients.
Assignments are conducted using one of two methods:
Contingency based search
Contingency assignments operate under the “No win, No Fee” principle. Often clients will work with one or more recruitment partners to ensure full market coverage whilst generating a large pool of candidates in the quickest possible time. Our specialist focus ensures that when working on a contingent assignment, Oceanic consultants have the tools at their disposal to deliver the right candidates when you need them.
Candidates will be generated from a variety of potential sources which will include the extensive Oceanic Database, External databases, On-line advertisements, Social Networks and networking through the industry for referrals and recommendations.
Clients are assigned a single point of contact for each assignment. This helps to develop a clear understanding of the needs of your business, the culture within the organisation and the procedure you follow when recruiting. All of this helps us to help you, ensuring you are not sent unsuitable candidates and that your time is not spent educating the recruiter.
Fees are calculated as a percentage of the total annual salary package of the successful candidate and only become payable on the day the candidate starts work for you.
Retained Executive Search
Our Retained Executive Search is designed specifically for Executive Level or difficult to source Technical requirements with assignments conducted on an exclusive basis within a pre determined time frame.
Each assignment starts with a client meeting where the requirement, business objectives, ideal candidate characteristics, time frame and package on offer are discussed. Once given a mandate to initiate a search, a project plan and timetable is created in consultation with the client. This will outline the target audience, criteria on which candidates must be screened, geographic parameters for the search and a timetable for submission of candidate shortlist, interviews, reference & background checks and the period of exclusivity.
Fees are non contingent and linked to specific milestones throughout the assignment with payments structured in three stages. 1/3 is payable in advance once a mandate is given, 1/3 is payable upon submission of the qualified shortlist and the final 1/3, the success fee, becomes payable when the successful candidate joins the organisation.
