Posts about how we help Crew Managers and Manning Agents streamline processes thanks to our maritime crew management software and recruitment platform.
As a manager or manning agent working in maritime recruitment or crew planning in the shipping industry, you know how important it is to make sure that your office staff - your recruitment operators and your crew planners - are motivated and productive. Here are some tips to make sure that happens!
Using integrated technology to find candidates is far from new. But some companies in maritime recruitment and the industry have fully embraced it by taking the sluggish processes within traditional recruitment systems, refining them, and combining them into one powerful tool for efficiency.
If you’re a manning agency, you don’t need us to tell you that you have a lot of competition - especially if you are located in a country where seafaring is one of the biggest professions. So how do you make sure you stand apart from that competition and attract more clients and better seafarers?
When you work in maritime recruitment and crew planning being organized is crucial. You have so many different aspects of the job to deal with that it can feel like you’re juggling twenty tasks at once. In fact, maritime recruitment can feel like regular recruitment on steroids sometimes!
Is crew retention an issue in your small to mid sized shipping company? Do you struggle to fill seafarer jobs and hold on to seamen once the contract is over? If the crew you hire are defecting to your competitors you have a problem. One way to solve that is to implement a crewing software solution.
If you’re a shipowner or manager, you know that ship crew management and planning are a cause of headaches. That’s why we’ve built a feature that takes the stress out of managing and scheduling crew by giving you the ability to see exactly who’s on your vessels and who’s lined up to sign on and off.
The dictionary defines adaptability as “...being able to adjust to new conditions.” And it’s a crucial trait for the maritime industry to possess: future technologies have infiltrated every facet of our traditional sector and companies who bury their heads in the sand need to shape up or ship out.
The first thing to do when weighing up any kind of business decision is to create a list of pros and cons so that you can see, almost at a glance, if the solution or product you are considering really will work for you.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all at Martide. We believe it’s your maritime recruitment platform and you should be able to find the ideal crew member for your open seafarer jobs. So we created Recruitment Pipelines where you can add as many or as few steps to your Pipeline as you need.
Collaboration is a word that gets thrown around a lot and as a result it can feel a bit meaningless. But in maritime recruitment and crew planning, collaborating with coworkers can mean the difference between an efficiently run department and one that’s struggling to meet crew change dates.
