MSC Cruises S.A., the world’s fourth largest cruise shipping company, has announced the launch of its first global career portal, www.careers.msccruises.com.

The new portal will be used to help recruit talent for positions in MSC Cruises’ global offices and across its fleet, supporting the business in the next phase of its expansion, the Geneva based company said in a statement.

Elia Congiu, MSC Cruises’ Chief HR Officer, commented: “Innovation is one of the key elements of the experience that we offer guests on board our ships, so it is only appropriate that we are introducing this innovative global recruitment tool to support the growth and development of all the people who work across our organisation.

“It has the further advantage of being easily accessible from anywhere in the world, which in turn extends the reach of our recruitment process to attract the most talented individuals.”

The MSC Cruises career portal consolidates all of the Company’s recruitment tools in one place and will be at the heart of the application process for the vast majority of roles. When positions are advertised locally, all listings will now include a direct link to the portal.

As well as featuring MSC Cruises’ available positions, the portal will enhance and standardise the selection process for applicants. Having created their online profiles, job seekers will be able to test their language abilities and present evidence of technical skills. Should the applicant progress through to the next stage of the recruitment process the platform will allow them to hold recorded video interviews no matter where they are in the world.
