Case Study: Knights Marine achieves streamlined workflows and improved shipyard communication with Ceipal

CEIPAL Enables Knights Marine to Streamline Workflows & Improve Shipyard Communication

Knights Marine, a maritime staffing firm, faced a post‑pandemic collapse of its workforce to about one‑third of pre‑COVID levels and struggled to find and retain skilled shipyard craftsmen in a tight labor market. They needed an advanced talent‑management solution that combined ATS and CRM capabilities and supported mobile communication for field workers, so Knights Marine selected Ceipal to meet those requirements.

Ceipal provided a customizable ATS/CRM platform that centralized applicant tracking, streamlined workflows, and enabled real‑time outreach via blast email and Text‑to‑Hire—critical for communicating evolving COVID and vaccine policies. As a result of Ceipal’s deployment, Knights Marine reduced time‑to‑hire, doubled its staff, improved shipyard communications, and can now rapidly identify and contact candidates to fill large requests (for example, staffing 50‑person shipyard jobs).
