What happens when a decade at sea inspires a new way of hiring? In this episode of The Bridge, host Alex Siegars — Founder of Yacht Crew Center and Co-Founder of Name & Shame — sits down with Jess Frost, Founder and Head Recruiter of CrewFolio, to talk burnout, boundaries, and building a people-first culture in yacht recruitment.
After 10 years onboard as a Chief Stewardess, Jess stepped ashore to create a new standard — one rooted in empathy, transparency, and accountability. Together, Alex and Jess unpack what’s working (and what isn’t) in today’s yacht-crew hiring world, and why safety, mindset, and respect matter more than ever.
✅ Life after yachting — breaking the “golden handcuffs” and finding purpose ashore
✅ From Chief Stew to entrepreneur — the mindset shift that changed everything
✅ The truth about recruitment: empathy over ego
✅ Crew safety and background checks — fixing what’s broken in the system
✅ Managing burnout and learning to slow down after years at sea
✅ Generational change in yachting — and how tech is reshaping the industry
✅ What makes a great CV and how to stand out to top recruiters
🎙 Guest: Jess Frost — Founder & Head Recruiter, CrewFolio
