Questions we get most often
We work on a standard recruitment model: our fee is 20% of the candidate’s annual income for the role we fill.
A 30% retainer is payable at the start of the search and is credited toward the total recruitment fee.
If the client decides to stop the search and leave the vacancy unfilled, or fills the role independently, the retainer is non-refundable.
Yes. We work with companies managing different types of fleets, including river-sea operators. Our focus, however, is on recruiting shore-based specialists rather than crewing vessels.
No. Applying for vacancies is free and always will be. Career consulting and training programmes are paid services. You will be informed of the price by a Marvus manager before the training or service begins.
Yes. The short form only asks for your name, contact details and the position you are applying for. Documents are requested once the employer confirms interest, so we do not collect them without a reason.
