At Cordell Beaumont, we pride ourselves on being more than just a specialist recruitment firm – we are dedicated advocates for the shipping, maritime, and commodities industries.

Our Founder, Callum Beaumont, brings years of personal experience and deep connections to the maritime world, alongside a strong sense of responsibility to give back. His journey, shaped by a passion for surfing and a long-term battle with depression, has fostered a unique perspective on the importance of community, mental well-being, and protecting the environment.

In 2024, we launched our Giving Back initiative as a way to make a meaningful impact beyond recruitment. With every successful hire, we pledge to donate a portion of our recruiting fee to carefully selected charities. Through this initiative, we aim to support the maritime community, contribute to cleaner oceans, and give back to the industries that inspire us every day.

We are extremely proud to be working with numerous companies with a strong commitment to improving their diversity and inclusion. We hope that together, over time, our efforts will create a more diverse shipping & decarbonization workforce.
