Our Story

It’s in our name. The crest is the point on a wave which holds the greatest positive value. A powerful symbol for the natural environment and forward momentum.

Why We Built This Firm: Innovative Talent Partnerships for a Changing World

"Traditional agency hiring models are too rigid and are no longer delivering sufficient value and results. Our flexible talent partnerships are built for the pace of change."


The Maritime, Technology and Energy Transition sectors are evolving at pace. They need a forward-thinking talent partner who understands these shifting demands and can adapt quickly to provide a better service and deliver outstanding results.


With decades of experience in maritime and sustainable energy recruitment, we saw the cracks in traditional models. Too slow, too generic, too rigid and focussed entirely on the transaction rather than long term impact.

Wavecrest Talent was created to do things differently, we saw an opportunity to build something better. A business rooted in the following principals- 


  • We know that no two problems are the same. That’s why our pricing, delivery and engagement models are built to flex without compromising quality or impact. 

  • We really listen to our customers, and our solutions are designed around your business, not ours.

  • We take every opportunity to collaborate proactively with our clients and we prioritise your project under a transparent working model which is led by an expert talent professional and company shareholder. 

  • We innovate relentlessly, harnessing cutting-edge technology alongside decades of experience to deliver best-in-class solutions. 


And that’s why clients trust us to represent their brands with credibility in the market. From executive search, embedded talent support, project-based sourcing to global workforce solutions
