Founder, Meraki Empower
01. We provide unbiased hiring guidance
We act as an independent partner—vetting candidates, processes, and timelines objectively—so cruise lines get the right talent, not the easiest shortlist. Our team embeds with stakeholders, aligns on standards, and recommends what serves the voyage best.
02. Hiring plans built around your goals
Every search starts with what success looks like for the voyage—service standards, rotation, start dates, and budget. We tailor sourcing, screening, and offers to meet those targets, balancing speed, quality, and compliance.
03. We stabilize hiring through seasonal swings
Crew demand rises and falls with itineraries. We maintain ready talent pools, flexible rotations, and fast onboarding so ships stay staffed—even when markets, routes, or schedules change.
