ABOUT THE COMPANY
A process built around verified information, not assumptions
Maritime employment decisions depend on many connected details: rank, vessel type, sea service, qualifications, document validity, English level, availability and the requirements of a particular employer.
COMPASS CREW structures this information, clarifies the key facts and coordinates communication between the parties. Our aim is for the candidate to understand the next step and for the employer to receive enough information for a professional decision.
We do not promise an outcome that depends on a shipowner, operator or another third party. Our responsibility is to organise the process correctly, disclose material limitations and use official communication channels.
ACCURACY · COORDINATION
People, documents and timelines need to work as one system.
OUR ROLE
Support for both sides of maritime employment
Seafarers and employers have different needs. We connect them through one working process with clear statuses and responsibilities.
For seafarers
We help present a professional profile correctly and coordinate the agreed stages of application review.
- Submission of a current CV and essential professional information
- Access to open vacancies and confirmed requirements
- Clarification of experience, documents, availability and contact details
- Communication regarding interviews, status and next steps
For shipowners and employers
We build a structured search, selection and coordination process around an agreed candidate profile.
- Confirmation of rank, vessel type, contract and joining date
- Search and preliminary screening of relevant candidates
- Review of key professional information within the available lawful scope
- Coordination of interviews, approvals, documents and crew change steps
