Trusted Marine Recruitment and Crew Management Services for Over 40 Years

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

In 2020, Clyde Marine Recruitment made a major move towards a paperless future by adopting the Ankaa system to manage candidate data. This change led to the removal of all filing cabinets and resulted in an impressive 87% reduction in paper usage.

Over the past few years, we’ve built a vast and accurate database of candidates. Our extensive cross-channel network provides global reach, allowing us to find the best candidates for your needs, wherever they are located.

This digital transformation has improved our compliance processes, enabled more efficient remote audits, and enhanced office productivity. Our clients benefit from quick, GDPR-compliant access to seafarer profiles, certificates, documents, and other key information with just one click. Candidates enjoy faster onboarding, digital contracts, online document storage, and access to digital payslips.
