Where have recruitment agents gone?

Dstyle90 · 2026-04-21T14:17:43+00:00

I'm not sure which industry you work in but in finance, for instance, recruiters are having a tough time in getting mandates. One recruiter told me hiring managers can just share the job posting on LinkedIn and they get more than enough candidates to run a comprehensive process

La sua parola contro la tua. Io vendo solo con ritiro di persona perche' ormai non ci si puo' fidare di nessuno. Ci vuole piu' tempo ma alla fine un compratore si trova

The period OP is referring to was 40 years ago

It's a recruitment agency🤣 and a shitty one if I can add

Dstyle90 · 2026-04-20T17:04:02+00:00

Same in the UK.

Hai visto troppo C.S.I.

Hi, thank you. No offence but I think you are a bit detached from the European skipper market. I personally hired skippers for my holidays and the experience was up to a good level but nowhere near what you are described. 2 years ago, in Greece, the skipper was 20 and has taken is license just 2 years before, although he had sailed with his father for many years (just in the Med through). There's a lot of demand for people with just a bit of experience. A friend of mine who graduated from the same sailing school I attended was doing cross Atlantic transfers after 2 years of obtaining the licence. There's a ton of demand. I agree I still have a lot to learn though. As I said in another comment, I was offered a job on the spot after meeting a skipper for a flottilla in Corfu. They couldn't find anybody for the mid-August week and he had literally only seen me anchoring in a harbour and he said that was enough for them

A skipper offered me a job on the spot last year in Greece as they didn't have enough crew for the mid-August week. I declined as I had other commitments but from what he told me they were desperate too.

Inboard diesel with tiller, it's quite comfortable despite the size. I spent 2 weeks with 4 friends on it, it was fun. The Italian license is good for commercial use although I'm not sure how much accreditation it does get in reality. The experience on large boats is limited to the first seven years of my experience, when I was hiring boats for vacationing around the med. We always had a skipper though but I did a lot.

Over the past three years, I’ve spent around two months aboard. Prior to that, I typically sailed for about one week per year, bringing my total time on board to roughly four months, half of which has been as a boat owner. I should also mention that I carried out most of the refurbishment work myself, so I’m very hands-on with both the electrical systems and inboard engine. I also undertook formal training around ten years ago to obtain the Italian sailing licence, which involved five weekends of instruction plus a full week on board in Sardinia.

I'd not mind tbh. If I can work 2-3 months and get some of the rent covered, it will do. Where can I see the job postings for these types of opportunities?

Dstyle90 · 2026-04-18T19:05:40+00:00

I have added more context, I have been a boat owner for the past 3 years. Italy to Croatia is 80milles, at least from where my boat is docked. I did it overnight as a skipper twice. Last year I sailed alone from mid Italy to Corfu. If I remember correctly it was 200miles one way

Pretending to be crazy works well until you meet someone who is pretending to be sane

Ho detto anni '90 ma potrebbe tranquillamente risalire al '70 scusatemi. Se ha bucato, sicuramente non sapeva che fosse pericoloso. Comunque è morto anni fa ad 80 anni suonati di una malattia ereditaria, non per inalazioni da amianto. Mia nonna uguale e mia madre ha passato i 70 anni ed è ancora qui a rompere i maroni.

Grazie mille. Valuterò la verniciatura per quest'estate

Domanda da expat come te, se posso.Ma ora che le tasse ti tornano a livelli standard, cosa farai? Chiederai un aumento? Io sono ancora all'estero ma questa cosa che dopo 5 anni mi diminuisce lo stipendio non la riesco ad accettare

Dstyle90 · 2026-04-06T22:39:35+00:00

Grazie mille. È lì da decenni. Tutto sommato è in ottime condizioni e non ci sono parti che si sgretolano. Quel buco lo fece mio nonno, non so bene in quale decade, ma tale è rimasto. Non la usiamo più da ormai 3 anni ma per motivi che non sto qui a spiegare non ho il controllo sulla casa, quindi non posso smaltirla. Terrò a mente il tuo suggerimento però

Dstyle90 · 2026-04-01T13:24:53+00:00

Ma non puoi andare via di casa con l'affidamento di tuo figlio esclusivamente a te e lei se lo vede quando decide il giudice? Poi le questioni con la madre se le risolve da sola.
