20 YEARS OF
RECRUITMENT THAT WORKS

When Military Sealift Command (MSC) needed a partner to navigate the challenges of a shrinking maritime industry, it turned to MediaCross. Since 2002, we’ve helped attract skilled mariners and transitioning military personnel, adapt to industry shifts, and engage younger candidates with a fresh approach to recruitment.
