Founded by David Livingstone OBE in 1981, Clyde Marine Recruitment (CMR) grew to become part of The Clyde Group. Following a demerger in 2011, CMR returned to family ownership under the leadership of Ian Livingstone, Managing Director.
Our recruitment and crew management services are highly flexible, tailored to meet your specific needs. With a deep understanding of the industry’s dynamic nature, our team is quick to respond to evolving demands and is experienced in handling short-notice crewing projects.
Growing Candidate Database and Simplified Compliance Powered by Digital Innovation
Since moving to a fully digital candidate management system in 2020, Clyde Marine Recruitment has continued to strengthen its paperless approach. The introduction of the Ankaa platform eliminated physical filing cabinets and delivered an 87% reduction in paper usage, laying the foundation for ongoing digital progress.
Today, we maintain a large, accurate, and continuously updated global candidate database, supported by an extensive cross-channel network.
This enables us to identify and engage the right talent efficiently, wherever they are based.
Our digital-first model has further strengthened compliance, simplified remote audits, and improved overall productivity. Clients benefit from fast, secure, GDPR-compliant access to seafarer profiles, certification, and documentation through a single digital platform. For candidates, the experience is equally streamlined, with faster onboarding, digital contracts, secure online document storage, and convenient access to digital payslips.
Together, these advancements ensure a more efficient, transparent, and compliant recruitment process for both clients and candidates.
At Clyde Marine Recruitment, we know that crew management requires a tailored approach.
