Maritime Recruitment Software for Crewing Teams

Publish vacancies, screen seafarer applications, and turn candidates into ready, compliant crew — all in one platform. With Crewvector, recruitment is not a separate tool that hands data off to your crewing system. It is the front end of the same system, so a hired seafarer becomes an active crew record without re-entering a thing.

Recruitment that feeds crewing, not a separate inbox

In most setups, recruitment lives apart from crew management. Candidates are screened in one tool, then re-keyed into another when hired — and the certificates collected during application are checked all over again before the first assignment. Every handoff is a chance to lose data, slow the hire, and let a candidate ghost a process that takes too long.

Crewvector closes that gap. Recruitment, documents, compliance and planning share one database, so the work done to hire a seafarer is the same work that makes them ready to sail.

Everything you need to recruit seafarers

• Vacancy publishing — create, edit and publish job vacancies directly on your own site, so openings reach seafarers without a third-party board.
• Online application form — seafarers build and update a full profile, with personal details, qualifications, experience, certificates and preferred ranks.
• Candidate database with search and filtering — find applicants by rank, experience and qualification instead of reading through resumes.
• Application screening and matching — match candidate skills and preferences against open vacancies as a first screening step.
• Pipeline and status tracking — follow each candidate through every stage of recruitment, with evaluation and interview tracking.

From candidate to crew without re-entry

When a candidate is hired, their profile, documents and certificates are already in the system — so they convert to an active crew member without re-keying. The same record that screened them for a vacancy now feeds planning, compliance and crew change workflows. Recruitment stops being a silo and becomes the first step of the crew life cycle.

Applications that fill themselves in

Crewvector reads CVs and certificates with AI-powered document import, so a seafarer's profile populates from their uploaded documents instead of long manual forms. Cleaner applications, faster screening, and certificate data that is usable from the moment it arrives.

Compliance visible from the first screening

A candidate is only worth shortlisting if they can actually be assigned. Crewvector auto-tracks certificates against rank and vessel requirements from the recruitment stage, so a recruiter sees qualification gaps before an interview, not after an offer. For agencies running more than one office, multi-office data segregation keeps candidate records and ownership clear across branches.

How it works

1. Publish — post vacancies to your own site.
2. Collect — seafarers apply through an online form; documents are read and the profile fills in.
3. Screen — search, filter and match candidates against vacancies and rank requirements.
4. Convert — hire, and the candidate becomes an active crew record with documents intact.
