Our Purpose
To become the talent and intelligence layer that the UHNW world relies on. Enabling us to support causes we believe in.
A service bespoke to you
How does Quay Group source the best quality staff for private residences, yachting and maritime?
Firstly, we know that it's not one size fits all. Most of our consultants supporting Quay Crew (super yacht recruitment) are former crew members themselves. We also have dedicated consultants across Quay Maritime (land-based maritime), Quay Estates (private residence recruitment) and Quay Family Office (family office and UHNW investment firms recruitment), who bring a combination of luxury sector knowledge, executive search experience gained at leading recruitment consultancies, and successful corporate backgrounds across finance, STEM and hospitality.
Due to our combined experience in yachting and luxury sectors, we pride ourselves on having an extensive, unparalleled candidate network. We utilise our specialist experience and knowledge to understand client needs and leverage candidate relationships across all levels.
Prioritising quality over quantity also means we follow stringent due diligence, pre-screening and verbal referencing processes to ensure that any prospective hires we put forward have the desired skills and aspirations that specifically align with our client's goals.
Our consultative approach means we are able to help both candidates and clients set realistic expectations, working in the best interests of everyone involved, and ultimately maximise performance and longevity. Our extremely thorough recruitment approach ensures that every hire is right, therefore significantly reducing the risk and cost of making a bad hire.
This approach has led to us forming strong and recurring relationships with everyone we deal with. We are the first port of call for private residence and land-based recruitment solutions in the wider marine sector, as well as the yachting industry. Whatever you need, our team are perfectly poised and dedicated to fill your role, from Technical Managers to Head of HR, Estate Managers to Housekeepers, Chief of Staffs to EAs, Captains to Stews.
