Why companies choose us
We're not the typical staffing agency. Here's what makes OceanChiefs different.
Fixed Fee, Not a Percentage
Most agencies charge a percentage of the rate. The higher the rate, the more they take. We charge a fixed fee per hour worked. Whether the rate is €40 or €80, our fee stays the same.
Everything in the Contract
Our fee is documented in every contract, black on white. Both you and the freelancer know exactly what we earn. No hidden margins, no surprises after the fact.
Self-Service Portal
Post vacancies, track requests, and manage your crew, all from your own portal. No back-and-forth emails. No waiting for someone to call you back.
Every Candidate Personally Screened
Every technician we present has done a video intake and personal interview with our team. We use our offshore experience to assess whether they're a real fit for your specific vacancy. Not just a CV match.
Free Account
Posting a vacancy is free. You only pay when we've matched someone and they actually start working. No placement fees, no commitment.
We Don't Stop at Our Network
If nobody in our network fits your vacancy, we don't say "sorry" and move on. We actively search, recruit, and screen new candidates until we find the right match. Or we tell you honestly that we can't.
Where your money goes
We believe the people who do the work should keep the money. Not the middleman who does the planning and the paperwork. Here's what that looks like on every euro you spend.
Traditional Agency
Up to 30% skimmed off the top as a percentage. And invisible to everyone. The higher the rate, the more they take.
OceanChiefs
The technician keeps what they earn. You pay one fixed fee for the planning and paperwork we handle. All documented in the contract.
Better Crew
Fair pay attracts the technicians others can't keep. In a tight offshore market, that access is the real scarcity. And it's yours.
They Come Back
Fairly paid crew return to your project, campaign after campaign. Less churn, less re-mobilization, more continuity on your asset.
Honest Rates
We don't earn a cent more on a higher rate, so we never push one. The rate you pay reflects the market. Not our appetite.
We charge less. We don't do less.
A fixed fee is honest, not cheap. Behind that one fee sits the work that makes offshore staffing actually run, and a network that took years to build.
A Network We Maintain Daily
Our 300+ technicians aren't a database we bought once. We vet them, talk to them, and keep the relationships warm. That work never stops, and it's why the right person is available when you need one.
Contracts Signed Before Mobilization
Every agreement is drawn up exactly as agreed and signed before anyone steps offshore. No grey areas, no "we'll sort it out later". You and the technician both know where you stand.
Invoicing That Fits Your Process
We bill the way your finance team wants it. Your PO format, your cycle, your systems. Clean administration you don't have to chase.
Built Around Your Way of Working
Non-standard rotation? Unusual certificate package? Last-minute scope change? We adapt our process to yours, not the other way around.
And because we pay our people fairly and transparently, the best ones keep coming back. You get the benefit.
