Background

About Lewis Soutter

As an Administrator at a leading marine recruitment organisation, I play a pivotal role in streamlining operations and elevating the candidate experience across every stage of the hiring journey. My work supports our mission to connect world-class seafarer talent with the organisations that need them most, from offshore contractors to cruise operators. With a sharp eye for detail and a commitment to operational excellence, I manage core administrative functions, coordinate Bullhorn-driven recruitment workflows, and provide responsive support to our internal team, candidates, and clients. Whether refining documentation, resolving compliance issues, or ensuring timely communication, I take pride in delivering solutions that are both efficient and human. My recruitment experience spans a diverse portfolio of maritime clients, including successful placements across Disney Cruise Line, Van Oord, and government-operated maritime fleets (including England, Scotland, Ireland, and surrounding island councils). These high-profile opportunities have strengthened my ability to meet exacting client standards while navigating complex digital credentialing, STCW compliance, and international onboarding requirements. Driven by a passion for the maritime sector and a belief in the power of well-run systems, I’m always seeking ways to improve processes, reduce friction, and contribute to a seamless, tech-enabled recruitment experience. I’m open to connecting with professionals across maritime operations, recruitment technology, and workflow automation, especially those who value clarity, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
