Building the Future: Heesen’s Strategy for Attracting Talent

In today’s competitive labour market, the scarcity of qualified professionals is a pressing challenge, particularly in sectors like technology and shipbuilding. This environment necessitates a proactive approach to recruitment. To navigate these challenges, we prioritise robust employer branding and attractive employment conditions. Our involvement with JobsCool in Oss exemplifies our commitment to inspiring young talent to consider careers in technology, ensuring a pipeline of technically skilled personnel.

The modern workforce places a premium on flexibility and work-life balance. At Heesen, we embrace these values by offering flexible working hours. Beyond these, we understand that a competitive salary is just one aspect of job satisfaction. A positive company culture, career advancement opportunities, and a healthy work-life balance are equally critical. Through initiatives like the Heesen Academy and various company events, we strive to meet these evolving employee needs.

Our new ‘Careers‘ website marks a significant step forward in our recruitment strategy. It offers a comprehensive and visually engaging portrayal of life at Heesen Yachts and Heesen Yachts Interiors. By showcasing not just our stunning final products but the entire yacht-building process, we invite potential candidates to engage with the craftsmanship and innovation that defines our work. This behind-the-scenes insight is designed to inform and inspire, key elements in attracting top talent.

The new website aligns seamlessly with our recruitment strategy by enhancing our employer brand and simplifying the application process. Detailed job descriptions, employment conditions, and growth opportunities are clearly presented, empowering candidates to make informed decisions. Additionally, the talent pool feature allows prospective candidates to express interest in future opportunities, ensuring we maintain a connection with potential talent.

Our new ‘Careers’ website is a testament to our dedication to transparency, engagement, and innovation in the pursuit of exceptional talent. We invite you to explore the opportunities and join us in shaping the future of luxury yacht building.
