How We Operate

How We Vet and Deploy Personnel

Three standing frameworks govern how personnel are verified, deployed, and supported in the field.

Overview

Why three frameworks instead of one process

A recruitment agency is only as good as the checks it will not skip under time pressure. These three frameworks exist so that the standard applied to a candidate does not depend on how urgent the requirement was, or who was handling it.

Due diligence governs every placement we make. Documentary checks establish eligibility; they do not establish judgement or temperament, so every candidate is also assessed face to face in Nepal before reaching a client shortlist.

BMP4 governs maritime work specifically. Vessel protection through a high-risk transit corridor is a different discipline from static guarding, and it is measured against the shipping industry's own published best management practice rather than against our internal standard alone.

Seasonal and short-term staffing governs mobilisations that have to happen quickly — a harvest window, a construction phase, a tourism peak. The vetting does not get lighter because the contract is shorter; what changes is the logistics around it.

Read the framework that applies to your requirement, or brief us directly and we will tell you which one governs it.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What does BMP4 mean for a vessel operator?
BMP4 is the shipping industry's published Best Management Practice for deterring piracy and armed robbery at sea. Working to it means a transit is planned against an external, auditable standard rather than an internal one: routing, watch-keeping, hardening measures, and the escalation ladder are all measured against practice the operator's insurers and charterers already recognise.
Does a short-term or seasonal placement get lighter vetting?
No. The vetting standard does not change with contract length — identity and document verification, employment-history checks, criminal-record screening, medical clearance, and an in-person assessment in Nepal apply to a three-month placement exactly as they do to a permanent one. What changes with a short-term mobilisation is the logistics and coordination around it, not the checks.
Why assess candidates in person when documents already prove eligibility?
Because the two things establish different facts. Documentary checks establish that someone is eligible and has the history they claim. They do not establish judgement, temperament, or whether a person will hold a position calmly at three in the morning. That is assessed face to face in Nepal before a candidate reaches a client shortlist.
