Khara Pierre

The transition into parenthood has changed my professional objectives. I now prioritise the need for structured schedules and financial stability, which is why I would like to leave my current positions. 

Furthermore, I am keen on opportunities that present intellectual challenges. I am a seasoned business recruitment manager with a proven track record in the super yacht industry; I have successfully co-managed One Ocean Marine Ltd, a leading crew recruitment agency, and Shore Side Pursers Ltd, an administrative support firm for super yachts. 

My career is marked by substantial revenue growth, strategic partnership development, and the implementation of efficient operational systems. As One Ocean Marine Ltd.’s co-manager/business partner, I increased the yearly revenue by £164,000. I managed this with outstanding communication and networking abilities to develop and maintain key industry partnerships. 

Due to my outstanding performance and strategic vision, I was elevated to business partner within two months of service. 

I have personalised client management, ensuring utmost satisfaction, offering solutions, handling complaints, and negotiating contract details. Implemented online systems enhancing team coordination and reducing scheduling conflicts, organised weekly work lists under a structured management program. Streamlined recruiting processes, reducing average hiring time and driving continuous process improvement. 

I oversee training in corporate policies, UK regulations, and performance monitoring, providing feedback and coaching. 

I also have comprehensive marketing and branding efforts, social media presence, and candidate recruitment initiatives, including headhunting to client specifications. I conduct the interview process with a keen sense of confidentiality and emotional intelligence, as well as overseeing accounts, tax, VAT, and payroll. 

My service expertise is strong, I have empathy, an ability to gauge the atmosphere, and adaptability to diverse people and personalities, always leaving a lasting positive impression. As a natural leader, I bring to the table a steadfast approach to decision-making, ensuring that I am consistent, fair and just. I do not shy away from engaging in difficult conversations. 

I have completed a leadership training course, which has equipped me with the finesse to navigate interpersonal dynamics with respect and to encourage peak performance from my team, a fact that my peers can attest to. 

In addition to my extensive experience in recruitment, my experience as a Personal Assistant/Purser has given me a solid foundation in organisation, administrative duties, legal compliance, and the ability to perform effectively under pressure with precision. 

My expertise extends to handling interactions with high-profile clients, such as celebrities, world political figures and multi-billionaire businessmen, ensuring their needs are met with discretion and professionalism. 

My responsibilities also included organising business and conference calls, arranging meetings, and managing communication devices for all Heads of Departments while continuously attending to the owner's and crew's administrative and personal requirements.

 I am proficient in computer technology, and I am quick to master various software and programs relevant to my professional responsibilities. As a confident problem-solver, I confront unexpected challenges with composure, promptness, and a steadfast commitment to quality and effectiveness. 

Financial management was another critical aspect of my role, where I oversaw substantial budgets, judiciously allocating millions of pounds to maintain discipline while identifying cost-saving opportunities.
