Some cruise lines and ship owners use hotel concessions and technical management companies to operate their onboard hotel and technical departments. Rather than having an in-house human resources department, they utilize crew management companies for their recruitment and crewing needs. Or, many companies rely on a global network of hiring partners to assist with recruitment in other countries.
