How we work is what sets Saltwater apart.
We are a relationship-focused agency. We build strong, ongoing relationships with both clients and crew, giving us a clear understanding of how people work, what they’re looking for, and where they will perform best.
This allows us to make more considered, selective recommendations - not just based on experience, but on how someone will fit within a team, a program, and a way of working.
Every search is highly tailored. Every shortlist is selective. Every recommendation is made with intention.
We prioritise quality over quantity, focusing on placements that work long-term rather than simply filling a role.
We stay closely involved throughout, providing clear insight, honest feedback and guidance at every stage — from initial conversations through to offer and negotiation.
We also advise on team structure and package alignment where needed, helping ensure it is realistic, competitive and set up to attract the right candidates.
Our involvement continues beyond placement, with ongoing check-ins to ensure the placement delivers as expected.
With Consultants in the UK and New Zealand, we operate globally, supporting all departments with their recruitment.
