SPECIALIST recruiter Marine Resources has introduced a new service model for clients that combines adaptive pricing with a sharper sector focus.
It includes a fixed-fee model and a 12-month risk-free replacement guarantee, different to the traditional three months usually offered, giving greater value, flexibility, and transparency for the marine and maritime industry.
“This isn’t a revolution, it’s an evolution,” said Marine Resources CEO James Ward. “For employers, it means genuine peace of mind. We’re taking away the risk that often comes with recruitment – giving businesses more control, more clarity, and a trusted partner who delivers. Recruitment should make your life easier, not harder.”
The fixed-fee model, says the firm, is a streamlined, cost-effective solution for high-volume roles or well-defined projects. This approach suits production, refit, and service hiring where businesses value speed, predictability, and transparent costs for essential operational positions.
The risk-free premium service sees clients benefit from a 12-month replacement guarantee, a commitment providing peace of mind on critical senior, technical, and specialist hires. It is tailored for complex placements in design, engineering, technical innovation and leadership, where the cost of a bad hire can be significant.
“Recruitment is crowded and noisy,” added Mr Ward, who has a background in boat-building. “There’s too much same old, same old. This is about being laser-focused on where we add real value – not just in leisure marine but across wider maritime, innovation, and emerging decarbonisation projects too. We’re here to help brilliant businesses find the people who keep this sector moving forward.”
