SYR partners with Onboard People to broaden recruitment offering

Superyacht industry recruitment brand SYR has announced a formal partnership with Onboard People, a leading supplier of subcontract labour to the luxury yacht building sector, which it says will broaden its range of recruitment services.

With the recent introduction of IR35, the provision of subcontract labour has become infinitely more challenging, but SYR says Onboard People has invested heavily to ensure its full compliance to regulations through its own strategical partners, leading to its own client base trusting it implicitly to provide the right standard of workers.

“Having worked with Zoe at Onboard People before in a previous role, her attention to detail and commitment to supporting her clients goes above and beyond her competitors,” says Ed Ewer, SYR founder. “With our biggest focus being on customer service, it makes total sense for us to work together to leverage our expertise, ensure optimal customer service. With strong growth plans, we’re excited to see the partnership evolve.”

The partnership between SYR and Onboard People will see the two companies share resources in order to provide the most complete service to their clients across both temporary and permanent recruitment solutions both in the UK and Europe.

Zoe Callard, director of Onboard People, comments: “When the opportunity arose to work again with Ed, following the formation of SYR, Onboard People were delighted with the opportunity. Ed has an enviable blend of knowledge within the marine sector mixed with an ability to forge and foster client relations demonstrated by his reputation in the superyacht industry and proven by the success of his new venture, SYR. Onboard People and SYR share the same ethos with complimentary clients and services so formalising the partnership makes perfect sense.”
