About OceanHire
OceanHire is a maritime and cruise recruitment company based in Morocco. We connect talented people with careers at sea, and help cruise lines build crews they can rely on.
Our story
OceanHire was founded by a cruise industry professional who has seen first-hand how much talent exists across Morocco and North Africa — and how hard it can be for that talent to reach the right employers. We built OceanHire to close that gap with honest guidance, modern technology and real industry knowledge.
Our mission
To open fair, well-prepared pathways to international careers at sea, and to supply cruise lines with trained, certified and motivated staff.
Our vision
To become the leading crew recruitment partner across North Africa and the Middle East.
What we stand for
Fairness
We never charge candidates recruitment fees, in line with the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006).
Transparency
Clear information about every role, contract and step of the process.
Quality
Every candidate we present has been screened and prepared.
Care
We support our crew before, during and after their contracts.
Founder
Meet the founder
Rachid Bousloh
Founder & CEO, OceanHire
Rachid has more than ten years of experience in gaming operations on cruise lines and in land-based casinos, and today manages a casino on board a cruise ship. On board he has worked alongside crew from dozens of countries – and seen how many talented people in Morocco and North Africa never get the chance because they do not know where to start, or meet the wrong agent. He created OceanHire to give them a fair, free and honest route to a career at sea, and to give cruise lines access to multilingual crew they can rely on. He speaks Tamazight, Arabic, French and English.

Morocco first, then Africa
