Tucker Gilliam is a man on a mission. As Crowley Maritime's Director of Marine Crewing and Development, he's a big part of Crowley's company-wide effort to address the recruiting and retention issues that are currently challenging all of the players in the maritime industry.
Gilliam has worked in a number of capacities for Crowley for more than nine years. After graduating from Texas A&M at Galveston with a degree in maritime administration, Gilliam signed on with Crowley and hasn't looked back, pulling assignments in Seattle, Long Beach, New Jersey and Jacksonville, where he's now located.
'We have implemented a new strategy at Crowley where recruiting across all our operations is coordinated at the corporate level. Until around a year ago, each operation was responsible for recruiting and screening their own candidates. With the personnel shortage currently facing the industry, this began to prove overwhelming for individual operations managers,” reports Gilliam.
