OUR STORY

TYS Recruitment

TYS Recruitment, founded in February 2020 by Gemma Hulbert, CEO of The Yacht Group, emerged from a profound understanding of the yachting industry’s nuances. With over a decade of experience, Gemma identified a gap in the recruitment market, recognizing the need for a more personalized and supportive approach. Rooted in the core values of kindness and respect, TYS Recruitment, formerly The Yacht Stew Recruitment, stands out for prioritizing relationships and mentorship. We delve deep into understanding candidates—identifying their passions, non-negotiables, and career support needs. Our commitment extends beyond placements, fostering enduring connections with our placed crew, providing continuous support and mentorship throughout their careers.

In a recent success story, a Chief Stewardess, placed on a vessel outside our agency, sought our assistance in contract negotiation and understanding. TYS Recruitment helped secure the desired package and placed the entire team once the Chief Stewardess joined, showcasing the enduring partnerships we cultivate.

Undergoing a rebrand in June 2023, TYS Recruitment reflects a renewed commitment to diversity and inclusivity. Formerly The Yacht Stew Recruitment, our evolution signifies an expanded focus beyond stewardesses, welcoming crew members from all departments. Our new name signifies a fresh outlook and a wealth of opportunities awaiting those who join our community. All our agents, having served as yacht crew, bring a unique understanding to the recruitment process. TYS Recruitment places a high premium on professional development, ensuring our team is equipped with the latest knowledge through continuous training, reaffirming our dedication to serving the yachting community at the highest standard. Join TYS Recruitment, where we’re not just transforming our image—we’re expanding horizons to ensure every crew member feels valued and included

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Client Say

Georgie

TYS Recruitment are fantastic, I had the pleasure of working with Ciara and she is without a doubt the friendliest, most attentive agent I’ve worked with she put time into finding me my perfect position and was consistent with her messages so I never felt out of the loop, she is just an all round lovely person to speak with. Ciara still continues to follow up with me even after she found me my perfect position, keeping it professional but with a personal touch. I cannot recommend TYS and Ciara enough so thank you

Victoria

Taryn has been exceptional in every step of the process from the initial reach out to the phone interview and to my placement in my current position. She was extremely informative about the position and the boat and continued to check in with me throughout the final interview and even as I am still on board. She really did find the perfect “home” for me with the boat, crew, Captian and owners. You have an amazing lady working for you and I can’t thank her enough for making this such an awesome experience!

Claudia

I got in contact with Eloise at TYS Recruitment regarding a temp job. The communication with Eloise was outstanding. She quickly picked up my contact and she gave me a good overview of what the job implied. She made sure that both parties were happy with each other. I would highly recommend her as she has a very friendly and positive approach. She doesn’t hold you on the line and she cuts to the chase, which is very appreciated in this industry.

Arina

The Yacht Stew Recruitment is the best recruitment agency I have worked with, I can highly recommend them. I recently needed to recruit a stewardess for a third interior in my team and was looking for a very specific person to fit our boat. Gemma and her team made this process so easy and left no stone unturned. They immediately knew what I was looking for and they really narrowed it down to great quality candidates. Eloise was determined to find me the right candidate. She did all the hard work without hesitation. She was efficient and was available at all hours & nothing was ever to much effort for her. They checked in with me continuously following up on the stewardess they have placed for us. I can whole heartedly without a doubt recommend them. It would be highly advantageous for any boat to use them as a recruitment company.

Toni

My experience with TYS Recruitment has been absolutely amazing. The amount of CV’s that came through, the way everything was laid out was highly efficient. Eloise constantly stayed on top of everything and even helped the green stews to understand their joining contract and SEA. Just amazing! TYS Recruitment most definitely stands out as my preferred agent.

Kate

I asked TYS Recruitment to assist me in the hiring of a new stew. The team didn’t waste anytime diving in and asking me what kind of Stew I’m looking for and about the program of the vessel. The detail and time spent ensuring the candidates put forward were a complete match was evident. I gained a wonderful new Stew who fitted in very well. They were professional at all times and ensured I was comfortable and happy throughout the whole process. I will not hesitate to use The Yacht Stew again in the future!
